Annual Report 2025

66 Transport International Holdings Limited 2025 Annual Report SUSTAINABILITY REPORT Renewable Energy Applications KMB and LWB have adopted third-generation solar panels on double-deckers to help lower interior temperatures and power onboard electronic systems. In total, 30,000 solar panels have been installed across the fleet, depots, and bus stops. These systems are expected to generate up to 13 million kWh of electricity annually, equivalent to the yearly consumption of around 4,000 Hong Kong households, reducing carbon emissions by about 9,100 tonnes. As the two franchised bus operators with the largest solar panel installations in Hong Kong, KMB and LWB aim to lead the public transport sector toward a greener, carbon-neutral future. KMB has also installed foldable solar panels on the roofs of three bus depots to provide renewable hot-water supply. This setup can generate roughly 1,000 litres of 55°C hot water per day for staff use. Application on Renewable Energy – KMB and LWB = reduce 9,100 tonnes of CO CO households’ annual electricity consumption = 4,000 generate 13,000,000 kWh annually CO 2 Concentration Checks In 2025, KMB selected 138 buses, and LWB selected 14 buses, operating on passenger-intensive routes for data-logger measurements of onboard CO 2 levels. The results confirmed that both KMB and LWB buses complied with the Environmental Protection Department’s (EPD) Practice Note on acceptable CO 2 concentration levels. litres of 55°C hot water per day for staff use 1,000 generate roughly Onboard CO 2 tested on 152 buses from high-passenger routes Selected 138 KMB and 14 LWB buses Recorded Real-time cabin CO 2 levels All complied with EPD’s level solar panels are installed 30,000
