On Tuesday, Ulaanbaatar city officials received the first bus designed by Mongolian engineers.  The JT 1BV bus was manufactured by Erdu LLC and Mongolian Electric Transportation. After two days of testing, it will be licensed for public transportation.

The bus has 28 seats. It burns less fuel and emits less pollution than other buses.

The Public Transportation Office will determine what routes the new bus will run.
Erdu LLC officials say the company will produce 100 to 120 buses annually after its factory is completed next March.
