The companies’ electric vehicle partnership tops 500 all-electric double decker bus sales with a delivery to Go-Ahead London.
Vehicles in the voucher program include BYD’s entire battery-electric transit bus line and most coaches, as well as Class 8 and Class 6 electric trucks.
In those five million electric miles, approximately 1.2 million gallons of diesel fuel have been saved, according to AVTA chairman Marvin Crist.
Using BYD’s battery electric driveline technology, ADL will assemble the buses at its factory in Falkirk, Scotland, ensuring the investment benefits the local economy.
The one-year contract gives transit agencies throughout the state the ability to buy U.S.-built BYD coaches and buses.
Three 40-foot, battery-electric K9M buses will be used to transport riders from the Woods Hole, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket Steamship Authority.
The delivery represents a significant advance toward TTC’s goal of purchasing all emission-free buses beginning in 2025.
The state selected three models for the contract, which is administered by the California Department of General Services (DGS).
Built to National Express’s Platinum standard, the 35-foot BYD ADL Enviro400EV offers extra legroom for up to 65 seated passengers as well as USB chargers and free Wi-Fi.
The 30-foot K7M buses will serve as parking lot shuttles, bringing passengers to the airport terminals.
