Product Details
The BYD “ebus” all-electric bus is BYD’s first pure-electric bus and the first Iron-Phosphate powered e-Bus in the world. The BYD ebus is 12 meters long designed for customer transport comfort. The specially designed in-wheel drive and the electronically controlled air suspension give the BYD ebus an exceptionally low floor and ample door and floor space for easy passenger loading and unloading. The front windscreen occupies 2/3 of the front face of the bus for maximum viewing and safety. The silver body with black side windows convey an elegant exterior image, while the interior boasts adjustable leather drivers seating, high-quality red and black leather seats for passengers and a carefully engineered sound insulation keep the interior ride whisper quiet.
As BYD’s first pure electric bus, the BYD ebus also employs many advanced technologies developed by BYD internally. For example, the Iron-phosphate or “Fe Battery” used on the BYD ebus is non-polluting: the materials contained in the battery can be recycled or easily disposed of. Solar panels installed on top of the BYD ebus supply power to charge the Fe batteries. The trip computer on the instrument panel can provide all the service information necessary for the driver and give him clear information while driving.
