This line will also become Japan's first pure electric operation of the bus ring. Through the analysis and research of vehicle operation data and actual energy-saving results, the project will accumulate operation experience for the comprehensive promotion of traffic electrification in the future. With the promotion of electric buses as the core, Beijing-Osaka bus will also introduce BYD K8 pure electric buses and gradually achieve a green carbon-free society in Kansai.

As the signing place of the Kyoto Protocol, Kyoto is not only an internationally famous tourist city, but also a pioneer city witnessing the global active response to climate change. The cooperation reached between the three parties in Kyoto to jointly promote the field operation of pure electric buses is a positive response to the Japanese government's goal of achieving a carbon-neutral and carbon-free society by 2050. it is also a strong impetus to the Japanese Ministry of economy, Trade and Industry's goal of zero sales of new fuel cars by 2035.
Kyokosaka bus has always provided important travel support for Kyoto tourism, and the bus it operates is an urban scenic line that can not be ignored in Kyoto tourism. The bus ring lines launched by these buses connect the "seven front stations in Osaka", the "Kyoto Station", and the "Mei Xiao Road Kyoto Emion Hotel Station" with scenic spots such as the Kyoto Railway Museum and the Kyoto Aquarium. The ring line not only facilitates passengers' daily travel, but also meets the sightseeing needs of tourists. As the gateway station of the international tourist city of Kyoto, the introduction of electric buses around the Jr line will better help Kyoto to create a green city business card.
