COBUS 3000 CNG - Airport bus, powered by Compressed Natural Gas

Today’s airports are challenged to meet new ecology standards to ensure that the air that we all breathe remains as clean and pure as possible. Thus airports must take steps to make certain that all of the ground support equipment operating at their facilities reduce air pollution to the greatest degree possible. In support of these efforts, CONTRAC GmbH – COBUS Industries now offers the world famous COBUS series of Airport People Moving Buses in a Clean Air version, powered by Compressed Natural Gas – CNG. Already standard in many public transit applications, CNG powered buses have proven their environmental friendliness, reliability and operational safety.

Offering all of the standard advantages of the world’s leading airport bus such as a capacity of up to 112 passengers, a true low floor passenger cabin, 3 extra wide passenger doors on each side of the bus, an all-aluminum body for total resistance to corrosion and many other advantages, the COBUS 3000 CLEAN MACHINE now also offers CNG as a desirable fuel source.
