Main aspects assumed for the implementation of the project: * It is assumed that by 2019, as a result of the start of a new concession for Phase I of the TransMilenio System, a fleet of Euro II vehicle technology will be replaced with a new (electrical) which corresponds to 5% of the fleet in phase I, which is equivalent to 38 electric buses. * It does not take into account the implementation of the Av. Boyaca trunk, nor the implementation of the trunk of Av. * Replacement of the hybrid fleet is not taken into account, since there is no clear offer in the market for articulated vehicles and hybrid bi-articulated vehicles and their efficiency.
