Manufactured by mainland manufacturer Wei Chi Teng (Fujian) Automobile Co., Ltd., the electric buses are mainly in dark blue and bright blue, symbolizing battery-driven and zero-emission.

The double-decker electric bus has a total length of 12 meters and can carry a maximum of 113 people, which is about 10 fewer passengers than a diesel bus of the same length, which can carry 130 people.

The reason for the lower passenger capacity is that there is less space in the compartment due to the large battery at the rear of the bus.
