Swedish Transdev AB ordered 52 BYD eBuses, the largest order that the company has placed with BYD for electric buses since 2015 when it first introduced the BYD brand to its fleet.
Transdev is one of the largest public transport operators in Sweden with a commitment to investing in new mobility solutions, especially in the sphere of electric buses. This new order comprises 8 units of 12-metre low-floor BYD eBuses and 44 units of 15-metre low-entry BYD eBuses.
The BYD eBuses on order will be delivered to the province of Gästrikland on the east coast of Sweden. They will be commissioned for public transport services operated by Transdev in this famous scenic region that places great importance on environmental protection and sustainability.
BYD 15-metre low-entry eBus
The 15-metre BYD eBuses, representing the majority of the latest order from Transdev, benefit from upgraded BYD Iron-Phosphate Battery technology for enhanced safety, range and reliability. The 15-metre BYD eBuses have a range of 450 km (SORT II) making them a practical option for many public transport operators. Fundamental to the overall performance is BYD’s unique 6-in-1 controller integrating the entire ecosystem of the bus for improved reliability and increased operational efficiency. Intelligent systems are pivotal to optimised range, safety and comfort, and include BYD’s highly efficient Battery Thermal Management System, enabling the buses to reliably operate in extreme climatic conditions. Such innovative technology combines with aesthetic appeal, reflected in the sleek modern exterior body design, the appearance of which is further enriched by the integrated composite roof which is lighter in weight and offers even greater levels of structural safety. Durable new materials are a key feature of the interior creating a stylish finish while also providing a comfortable passenger experience.
There are now more than 700 BYD eBuses, in service or on order, within the Nordic Region, and over 3000 in Europe. BYD eBuses have covered more than 59 million km in the Nordics, reducing in excess of 63,000 tonnes of CO2. In Europe, BYD eBuses have collectively travelled over 197 million km, reducing CO2 by more than 211,000 tonnes.
