By the beginning of the Expo 2000, 101 of these newly developed buses will be put into service in Hanover, more than half of which will run on natural gas. The vehicles cost a total of 72 million marks. At the unveiling of the first vehicle on the Opernplatz, several hundred spectators applauded. Lower Saxony's Environment Minister Juttner spoke of the design - below an orange stripe, the sides silver, the roof green, plus rounded windows and four wide doors - of a ""feast for the eyes"". | usage worldwide. - Hanover/Niedersachsen/Deutschland
