Cardiff residents might have spotted that a new type of bus has appeared on the roads. Cardiff Bus is trialling the grey and black fully electric vehicle for two weeks.
The bus company said it is testing it to "sample another manufacturer's offering" and compare it with its existing electric buses. The full size single deck vehicle is very similar to its current electric fleet but differs in design.
The eCitaro, a fully developed all-electric bus by Mercedes-Benz, is being trialled on service 27 - from the city centre to Thornhill - until Thursday, July 21. This is one of the routes the current electric vehicle fleet operates on, so the two types can be closely compared.
