Fast Facts about HK's commercial diesel fleet (buses & trucks)

90% of HK's 11 million daily passenger trips are via public transport, making HK a leader in transport modal efficiency.

HK's commercial diesel fleet is responsible for 90% of RSPs (i.e. suspended particulates smaller than 10 micrometers that can penetrate deep into the lungs)

The commercial diesel fleet is estimated to account for 70% of all vehicle distance traveled in HK.

20% of all Singapore's buses (860 of 4353) are Euro IV or above, compared to only less than 1% of HK's buses (53 of 5768)!
