With a growing public awareness of environmental protection, electric buses are more and more popular. But the high cost of their power cell is still a problem.
The power cell costs almost half of the price for a whole electric bus, making it difficult to do business. Bus maker Anhui Ankai based in the city of Hefei has come up with an idea for new energy buses, selling plug-in buses, but leasing out（出租） the power cell. According to the company, the leasing policy will help make the pricing of the pure electric passenger buses is as low as the traditional oil-powered buses.
Against the increasing oil prices, leasing will enable the bus buyers to further move toward the electric buses, the company says, with global economy beginning to recover and markets rebounding（复苏）, the oil prices must continue to rise. Renting the power cell makes the cost of driving Ankai's electric buses lower than the fuel-powered buses.
More importantly, the leasing policy will allow Ankai to manage and reuse the cells, helping reach the best efficient use of resources.
As China is on the way to build a more eco-friendly and resource-saving society, all kinds of industries are moving in that direction.
