業務回顧報告書 MANAGEMENT REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
KMB and the China Light & Power Company Ltd. carried out a joint study to assess the feasibility of operating battery-powered buses. The study showed that double-deck buses cannot be powered by the batteries currently available. Further development was suspended as it would incur enormous expenditure.
KMB engineers are engaged in a preliminary investigation of the use of liquefied natural gas as an alternative fuel which may result in a significant reduction of exhaust emissions.
In April, KMB implemented a policy to recycle all waste paper by setting aside an area on every floor of the headquarters building and at strategic points in depots for the collection of waste paper. The paper is collected for recycling by a specialist company.
Another precious commodity which KMB recycles is water. To wash KMB's 3,000 buses each day
requires about 119,000 litres. The used water is
collected by the drains in each bus washing bay and recycled for bus washing.
九巴會與中華電力有限公司攜手合作進行一項 研究,以評估電池發動巴士之可行性。研究結 果顯示,雙層巴士並不能以目前可供應之電池 發動。由於所涉及開支龐大,是項研究已暫停 進行。
九巴之工程師現正進行一項初步研究,以探討 可否以液化天然氣作為燃料大幅減低所排出廢 氣
四月份,九巴實行廢紙再造之計劃,在總部大 樓之每一層,以及巴士車廠之當眼位置撥出地 方收集廢紙。該等紙張收集後會交回一家專門 公司再造。
此外,水乃九巴循環再用之另一種寶貴資源。 九巴每天清洗三千部巴士,用水約十一萬九千 公升。用過之污水均會經每個洗車間之渠管收 集,於處理後再作清洗巴士之用。
