65 2025 Annual Report Transport International Holdings Limited About the Report Safety First Caring for the Environment Caring for Customers Caring for Employees Caring for the Community Performance Statistics Reporting Content Index Table Green Finance In 2025, the Group maintained sustainable deposits and secured green loan and sustainability-linked loan facilities totalling HK$3,800 million. This amount represents over 50% of our committed loan facilities and underscores our commitment to supporting Hong Kong’s transition toward zero emissions through effective green finance arrangements. We have established key sustainability performance targets focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from our bus fleet, strengthening green procurement practices, and increasing average training hours. Looking ahead, TIH Group will continue to pursue suitable financing solutions that can propel Hong Kong’s transportation sector into a more sustainable future. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction KMB and LWB are committed to advancing renewable energy and zero-emission technologies, reinforcing our determination to deliver greener public transport for Hong Kong. In support of the HKSAR Government’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, both companies have launched an electrification roadmap. In the long term, KMB aims to transition its entire fleet to new-energy buses, contributing to the development of a cleaner and more sustainable city. Environmental Bus Fleet KMB’s newest electric and diesel buses meet stringent, environmentally-friendly emission standards equivalent to those set by the European Council of Environmental Ministers, contributing to a cleaner environment and reduced climate impacts. As at the end of 2025, the KMB fleet comprised 856 Euro VI buses (including three diesel-electric hybrids), 2,918 Euro V buses, and 75 battery-electric buses. The LWB fleet included 192 Euro VI and 116 Euro V buses, while Sun Bus operated 158 Euro VI and 197 Euro V buses. KMB’s electric double-deckers are zero-emission vehicles built to our latest specifications. Equipped with solar panel systems, free 5G Wi-Fi, and an upper-deck occupancy monitoring system, they will be deployed along major corridors to help improve roadside air quality in high-traffic areas. By the end of 2025, Hong Kong’s largest new-energy bus fleet – comprising 75 battery-electric buses and three diesel- electric hybrid buses – had accumulated nearly eight million kilometres of service. This contribution to a reduction of 11,800 tonnes of carbon emissions, equivalent to the annual carbon emissions of approximately 2,700 individuals. KMB continues to phase out older bus models and replace them with the latest energy-efficient Euro VI and electric buses, extending fleet longevity and improving environmental performance as we work toward a zero-emission future. The average ages of the fleets are 9.2 years for KMB, 5.6 years for LWB, and 7.0 years for Sun Bus. Other environmental facilities within KMB and LWB’s bus fleets, depots and other premises include: Heat insulation: KMB has installed heat insulation boards on the roofs of around 70 operational kiosks at open- air bus termini to reduce solar heat absorption, lower air conditioning load, and enhance energy efficiency; LED lighting retrofit: The retrofit programme replacing existing bus lighting with lower-powered LED strips has been fully completed, and LED lighting is now a standard design for all our new buses. This initiative can enhance passenger comfort and reduce annual carbon emissions by 5,600 tonnes. Removed LED strips are repurposed for lighting at depots and bus stops, minimising waste from the upgrade; Driver behaviour monitoring: A driver behaviour monitoring system has been introduced through onboard black boxes. By analysing CANbus signals, such as harsh braking, rapid acceleration, and improper vehicle control, it helps improve overall driving performance, operational safety and energy-saving; Cleaner fuels and emission controls: KMB, LWB and Sun Bus use near zero sulphur diesel and have upgraded older diesel buses with emission control technologies, including diesel oxidation catalysts, diesel particulate filters, and selective catalytic reduction units; and Electric patrol vehicles: All three companies have introduced electric patrol cars for operational support and installed charging facilities at major depots to further promote low-carbon operations.
