Swedish bus and heavy trucks manufacturer Scania will venture into mass production of high capacity buses once the demand for the units picks up in readiness for the rollout of the bus rapid transport (BRT) system in Nairobi.

The automaker last week unveiled a 91-capacity prototype bus developed in conformity to the government’s specifications following its tender seeking provision of BRT buses to be introduced on five selected city routes.
