The buses are to be used on suburban and city routes. According to the diplomatic mission, they run on natural gas, thus they emit 3 times less air pollutants than vehicles running on diesel fuel and 6 times less pollutants than vehicles that burn gasoline.

The buses for Novorossiysk have all the features that were available for these bus models. They are equipped with air conditioning, an automatic fire extinguishing system, a passenger flow counting system, a multimedia system and Talking City, GLONASS systems, as well as video surveillance and tachographs, as well as sockets for recharging mobile devices, and wi-fi.
