| Carbon-free Buses Put into Service | | A bus powered by Li-ion battery leaves a recharge station in Beijing, on July 17, 2008. A total of 50 buses of this kind put into service for the Beijing Olympics and Paralymics, running a total distance of 10.4 km for athletes and officials. The Beijing Organizing Committee has allocated an area of 5,000 square meters of recharge station for the buses and a parking area in southwest Beijing. Since 2001, two electric buses have been used in Beijing for test operation and China's homemade electric buses were also operating in World University Games in 2001 to take athletes, coaches and audiences.
