It can be a bit interesting to watch countries that are considered behind the United States and Europe in power and influence still beat the world powers to the punch when it comes to things like having entire cities taking large steps to going green.
Seoul, South Korea has announced that it is the first in the world to roll out all electric commercial bus service for its city. While there have previously been several different pilot programs all over the world and there have been other electric vehicle forms of public transportation, this is the first all-electric commercial busing program.
The initiative is in concert with the Seoul Metropolitan Government, Hyundai Heavy Industries
and Hankuk Fiber. These particular buses are expected to be able to run for about 52 miles on a single charge (about 30 minutes of activity) and can hit a maximum speed of 62 miles per hour.
