The company’s Tolna county unit is in talks with a Ukrainian bus maker on buying nine CNG buses in early 2013 for €200,000 each, as part of a leasing agreement.

Orangeways plans to extend the deal to 50 buses to run between Tamási and Dombóvár.

Buses that run on CNG can generate 30-40% savings compared to diesel models, with 25% lower CO2 emissions.

Orangeways is looking outside of Hungary for new buses because the down payment in Hungary is 40%, Kovács said.
