Its eBUS-12 is believed to be the first full-size, full electric bus in the world, and is due to enter trial service in several European cities, including London, Copenhagen, Frankfurt and Amsterdam, in the coming months.BYD says this first vehicle will be followed by a range of new eBUS models in the near future, including a seven-metre bus and a double decker.
Designed for passenger comfort, the eBUS-12 has a cleverly engineered in-wheel drive and electronically controlled air suspension (ECAS).
ECAS gives the all-electric bus an exceptionally low floor, a wide door and ample floor space for easy passenger loading and unloading.
Meanwhile, as BYD's first pure electric bus, the eBUS-12 also employs an interesting mix of propulsion support technologies.
BYD cites its own Fe Battery, which can be recycled, solar panels installed on top of the bus, and a trip computer on the instrument panel, which provides service information for the driver.
