Da Nang authorities have reached an agreement with GTZ, the German Organisation for Technical Cooperation, to provide training and enhance capacity building for the project, which is estimated to cost around 1.5 million Euros.

The city plans to develop a fleet of 75 buses that will meet with international environmental standards, including exhaust fumes that come up to the Euro 4 standard.

The buses will be designed to be easily accessible for people with disabilities, who along with students and pupils, will pay discounted fares.

Capable of transporting up to 100 passengers at a time, the buses will run on Euro IV-standard diesel at first but may use LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) or CNG (compressed natural gas) for fuel later.
The city authorities are expected to put the buses into service in early 2011.
