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.
The first 19 of these zero-emission buses have now entered service in Birmingham, where the operator’s 80-year old Yardley Wood garage has been retrofitted with plug chargers for each bus.
TransIT provides public transit, paratransit, and commuter services/employer outreach information throughout Frederick County, serving medical, employment, education, and shopping centers.
The final two buses were the first to be completed by BYD after reopening its plant during the pandemic.
Number expected to double by 2023.
The plant, created earlier this year, is now running at full capacity and can produce 50 million masks per day.
AMPLY was brought in during the fall of 2019 to simplify Tri Delta's charging operations and address challenges presented by previously installed hardware.
