Leading eBus manufacturer BYD has delivered five of its first new generation 12-metre pure-electric eBuses to Deutsche Bahn in Germany following a momentous journey for electric powered public transport. Deutsche Bahn is Germany’s largest Public Transport Operator and has a framework agreement in place with BYD for the rollout of eBus orders in 2021 and beyond. The official handover to DB took place in Ettlingen, located in the district of Karlsruhe in Germany. This concluded an epic 500 km road journey for the BYD eBuses from Oosterhoud in the Netherlands to their Karlsruhe destination, stopping only for a short break in Bonn for the drivers to rest and top-up charging. It was an excellent example of the driving range capabilities that the new, upgraded pure-electric BYD eBuses now offer.This delivery further enhances DB’s evolving electric bus fleet which will operate on both urban and national routes. The arrival of the new generation 12-metre BYD eBuses represents yet another positive step forward in reliable and safe electric mobility, while also offering numerous fleet management efficiency benefits to transport operators. They come equipped with the latest innovative technology from BYD and a multitude of ‘home-from-home’ features for the best passenger comfort.Each of the five pure-electric buses is powered by state-of-the-art BYD Iron-Phosphate Battery technology with increased energy density that now provides an even longer driving range for continuous hours of non-stop operation, as well as an extended battery life. Under Standardised on Road Test (SORT) conditions, the new generation 422 KWh battery delivers an impressive driving range in excess of 400km on a single charge. The driving range capability has been further demonstrated by the recent 500 km journey from The Netherlands to Germany.The latest generation 12-metre BYD eBus includes an all-new emissions-reducing CO2 air conditioning system which elevates environmental-protection to yet another level. This substantiates BYD’s ongoing commitment to a creating a cleaner, better world.
