On March 6, five units Foton AUV double power trolley buses were officially put into operation on BRT2 in Beijing. This is the second bus route which implemented greener power solutions after bus route No.44 finished the replacement of all oil-powered vehicles.
Officially opened on July 31, 2008, BRT2 extends from Chaoyangmen in the west to Yangzha in the east with a total distance of 16 kilometers. Along the route, there are 21 bus stations in total.
