It aims to upgrade its entire fleet with new energy buses in support of the Government’s policy to achieve carbon neutrality. Bus Fleet and Fleet Upgrade During the year, a total of 11 buses were licensed, including one electric double-deck bus and ten Euro VI double-deck buses. The new double-deck buses feature light-directing glass windows alongside the staircase connecting the two decks, replacing the traditional sealed design. This creates a brighter ambience inside the bus and enhances safety for passengers using the stairs. Moreover, these new buses are equipped with safety facilities, including the Advanced Driver Assistance System, the Electronic Stability Programme and the Driving Monitoring System, and all seats are equipped with seatbelts and continuous handrails to ensure the safety of passengers and bus captains. The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (“TPMS”) is being installed on more than 2,400 existing buses. The system enables bus captains to monitor real-time tyre pressure and temperature, enhancing bus safety. TPMS has now been included as a standard feature on all new KMB buses. KMB continues to invest in the latest environmentally friendly buses. In 2009, it became the first public bus company in Asia to introduce Euro V double-deck buses. Then, in 2017, it again led the industry by introducing Hong Kong’s first diesel- powered double-deck bus with Euro VI emission standards. All Euro III model buses were completely phased out in 2025. In 2025, a batch of ten Euro VI double deck buses and one electric double-deck bus commenced service. In addition, four LWB electric single-deck buses were transferred to KMB. All self-acquired electric buses are equipped with a Battery Management System and a Water-Cooling System, which help monitor battery efficiency and condition and control battery temperature, effectively extending battery life and improving performance. As of 31 December 2025, KMB operated a total of 3,959 licensed buses, including 3,815 double-deck buses and 144 single-deck buses. Among them were 45 electric double-deck buses and 30 electric single-deck buses.
