BMTA signs B4.26bn city NGV bus deal

 

Legal battle hangs over contract fate

 

 

The Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA) on Wednesday signed a 4.26 billion-baht contract with a joint venture, SCN-CHO, that will supply 489 buses running on natural gas for vehicles (NGV).

 

The signing brings an end to long delays since the project was first raised, and which underscores the BMTA's desire to obtain environmentally friendly NGV buses.

In April the BMTA scrapped a 3.3-billion-baht contract with Bestlin Group when it failed to deliver the buses on time after the Customs Department suspected it of dodging import taxes.
