BYD ATTO 3, the first BYD ' 'SUV built on e-Platform 3.0

\n' '

Ground-breaking BYD EV Technology – developed for ' 'safety, efficiency and performance

\n' '

The BYD ATTO 3 is the first SUV to be built on BYD’s ' 'ultra-intelligent, next-generation e-Platform 3.0 for the ' 'ultimate in safety, system efficiency, integrated vehicle ' 'intelligence, performance. It also creates larger cabin ' 'space. BYD’s new generation e-Platform 3.0 is at the ' 'forefront of EV innovation, and comprises the world’s first ' 'mass-produced highly integrated 8-in-1 electric powertrain ' 'connecting all electric control units and management ' 'systems. Such seamless deep integration delivers overall ' 'system efficiency of 89%.

\n' '

Other core features at the heart of the e-Platform 3.0 ' 'are the BYD Blade Battery and the high-efficiency heat pump. ' '

\n' '

Featuring the industry’s first direct cooling and heating ' 'system for power batteries, increasing thermal efficiency by ' 'up to 20% in the winter, the innovative system leverages the ' 'residual heat from surroundings. With intelligent thermal ' 'management, efficiency is achieved in a wide range of ' 'temperatures with excellent low temperature driving ' 'range.

\n' '

The BYD ATTO 3 also utilises ground-breaking battery ' 'technology, evolving from over 28 years’ expertise in this ' 'specialist sphere, providing new levels of safety, ' 'durability and performance, as well as increased battery ' 'space utilisation. The revolutionary, ultra-safe Blade ' 'Battery has surpassed the Nail Penetration Test, regarded as ' 'the Mount Everest of battery safety tests. The cobalt-free ' 'Blade Battery uses Lithium Iron-Phosphate (LFP) as its ' 'cathode material, which offers a much higher level of safety ' 'than conventional lithium-ion batteries. LFP has inherently ' 'excellent thermal stability and significantly, is ' 'cobalt-free. LFP is also a very durable material.

\n' '

Efficiency and longer range are further benefits of the ' 'Blade Battery, providing more power density for optimum ' 'performance and efficiencies, including faster ' 'charging.

\n' '

\n' '

Optimum Performance and Handling for a Better ' 'Driving Experience

\n' '

Combined, this integrated technology has been developed ' 'to deliver optimum performance and a better driving ' 'experience. With the 60.48 kWh Blade Battery combined with ' 'the permanent magnet synchronous motor, the BYD ATTO 3 can ' 'accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 7.3 seconds.

\n' '

Impressive Charging, Range and ' 'Efficiency

\n' '

BYD ATTO 3 has a reassuring combined WLTP electric range ' 'of 260 miles and 351 miles city range with energy ' 'consumption as low as 3.98 miles/kWh (WLTP) and 5.13 ' 'miles/kWh (city). Charging power is 11 kW AC 3 (Comfort and ' 'Design). High performance is also achieved when it comes to ' 'recharging. With a 150KW DC charger, the battery can be ' 'replenished from SOC 30% to 80% in just 29 minutes. ' 'Overnight charging from an almost empty battery to full ' 'range can be completed in just 6.5 hours. BYD ATTO 3 (all ' 'three trims) is also equipped with VtoL function so external ' 'devices can easily be charged by the car battery.

\n' '

Ultra-Safe with High Levels of Standard Equipment ' '

\n' '

BYD is committed to innovation for safer driving, and ' 'that is why the BYD ATTO 3 has a comprehensive suite of ' 'standard safety and driver assistance equipment. BYD ATTO 3 ' 'scored Five-Star Rating in Euro NCAP Safety Tests. It ' 'achieved a score 91% for adult occupant protection and 89% ' 'for child occupant protection.

The landmark moment in BYD's history coincides with the " 'announcement that the first batch of 100 pure-electric BYD ' 'Tang SUVs are now ready for delivery to Norway – with the ' "Scandinavian country selected as the platform for BYD's " 'ambitious plans in the European passenger car market. BYD ' 'also announced that a total of 1500 Tang SUVs will be ' 'delivered to Norway before the end of the year as the ' 'company commits to accelerating its European and global ' 'strategies. The initial 100 cars are scheduled for delivery ' 'to Norwegian customers in the third quarter of this year. ' '

BYD's one-millionth new energy passenger car " 'rolls off the production line

\n' "

BYD's pioneering work in the development of battery " 'technology and new energy vehicle (NEV) manufacturing has ' 'led the new energy revolution in the global automotive ' "industry since the company's emergence in 2003 – spearheaded " 'by innovative technologies and a well-calibrated global ' 'business strategy. In 2004, BYD unveiled its all-electric ' 'concept car, the ET, at the Beijing Auto Show, marking the ' 'premiere debut of an NEV model. This was followed in 2008 ' "when the world's first mass-produced plug-in hybrid NEV – " 'the F3DM – was officially unveiled. Then, in 2020, the BYD ' 'Han was launched with performance specs setting twelve ' 'records globally and nine in China. The BYD Han continues to ' 'be a top-selling model in the mid-to-large luxury sedan ' 'sector, and with the credentials to rival models from the ' 'three German luxury car giants.

\n' '

"BYD shoulders the responsibility and mission of upward ' 'development for China\'s new energy vehicle brands," said ' 'Wang Chuanfu, Chairman and President of BYD Co., Ltd. "From ' "zero to one million vehicles, this is BYD's response to the " 'call for global auto industry transformation. It also sets a ' 'benchmark in the journey of the new energy vehicle industry ' 'in China starting from nothing, alongside the greater ' 'national journey for a country dominated by traditional ' 'automobiles to one that is a leader in the field of ' 'sustainability."

\n' '

Customers first and foremost

\n' '

"The journey to one million vehicles would not be ' 'possible without the support of car owners every step of the ' 'way," he added, "and BYD recognises that the \'green dream\' ' 'can only be achieved hand-in-hand with all our ' 'customers."

\n' '

With this close relationship with customers in mind, BYD ' 'has invited ten of its NEV customers to attend the ceremony, ' 'including the owners of the 100,000th and the ' 'one-millionth vehicles to join BYD as it celebrates its work ' 'in helping move towards a better, more sustainable ' 'future.

\n' "

In the central square of BYD's global headquarters, " 'another eighty BYD car owners assembled their vehicles in a ' 'specially choreographed display forming the number ' "'1,000,000' to help celebrate the milestone.

\n' '

Alongside news of the production of its one-millionth ' 'passenger car line, BYD has also confirmed its entry into ' 'the European market with the first 100 pure-electric BYD ' 'Tang SUVs on their way to Norway. The northern European ' "country has been selected to kick off BYD's journey towards " 'a successful presence in the burgeoning NEVs market in ' 'Europe.

\n' '

With Rolf Petter Almklov, Commercial Counsellor, Royal ' 'Norwegian Embassy in Beijing, alongside Wang Chuanfu, ' 'Chairman and President of BYD, the first batch of 100 Tang ' 'SUVs will be shipped at the end of May and delivered to ' 'local customers in Norway during the third quarter of this ' 'year. Also before the end of 2021, BYD plans to deliver a ' 'total of 1500 Tang SUVs to Norway, underlining a significant ' 'commitment from BYD to its new Scandinavian market and its ' 'European neighbours.

\n' '

With decarbonisation high on the political agenda in ' "Europe, BYD's entry into the passenger car market comes at " 'an important time. The BYD Tang EV provides serious ' 'competition for the more established European brands, with ' 'its stylish design and new technologies providing a ' 'compelling proposition for new car buyers. Central to its ' 'technology credentials is the new ultra-safe, space-saving ' 'Blade Battery, with performance figures including a ' 'class-leading range of up to 505km (NEDC) and acceleration ' 'from 0-100 km/h in just 4.6-seconds from its 86.4 kWh ' 'capacity.

\n' "

BYD describes its new business in Norway as the 'start of " "the European dream' with respect to its passenger car " 'ambitions. A key differentiator for BYD is its commitment to ' 'bringing only pure-electric, 100% emissions-free cars to ' "market – a strategy supported by BYD's electric bus product " 'range and its leading position in eBus markets right across ' 'Europe.

\n' '

Working side-by-side with leading supply-chain ' 'partners to forge the way

\n' "

The key to realising BYD's dreams has been the support of " "leading supply-chain partners. At today's ceremony, Wang " 'Chuanfu made special reference to ZF Friedrichshafen AG, ' "Fuyao, Valeo and others, while stating BYD's intention to " 'join hands with even more partners in a joint endeavour to ' 'lead the transformation of the global automotive industry ' 'and to forge the way ahead for electrification.

The replacement of the internal combustion engine with ' 'new energy vehicles – and specifically battery electric ' 'vehicles – is crucial for reducing dependence on fossil ' 'fuels, ensuring national energy security, and further ' "achieving the goal of 'peak carbon by 2030 and carbon " "neutrality by 2060'. As a principal participant and major " 'force in the new energy automotive industry, BYD will ' 'continue to work with partners, suppliers and customers, to ' 'push ahead and realise the dream of green travel.

The BYD ADL Enviro200EV 10.8m bus at EuroBusExpo this ' 'week is the first provincial EV demonstrator and has 33 ' 'seats and one wheelchair space. The bus is equipped with a ' 'BYD-built mobile charging unit which is small enough to be ' 'carried on board in the wheelchair space. This unique ' 'innovation will enable operators to trial the Enviro200EV ' 'bus without needing to install permanent charging ' 'infrastructure beforehand.

“BYD ADL joint products are already in service in ' 'Liverpool and soon Guildford but this new model will allow ' 'us to win confidence and hopefully sales in major cities ' 'such as Manchester, Birmingham and Coventry”, said Mr. Ho. ' 'He added: “I’m pleased to be able to report that we are ' 'close to beginning to build the chassis for our buses for ' 'the UK at our BYD plant in Hungary”.

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

The BYD ADL partnership offers much more than a ' 'sophisticated electric bus. Power supply infrastructure, ' 'chargers, route profiling and so on are all part of the ' 'joint offer by the two companies. “With the BYD ADL ' 'partnership our customers get a fully comprehensive turnkey ' 'solution to the challenges of starting pure electric bus ' 'operation”, said Mr Ho.

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

“ADL positions ourselves not only as the UK’s leading bus ' 'and coach manufacturer, but as a systems integrator and ' 'technology pioneer – we have a range of class-leading ' 'products bristling with technology – many brand new ' 'technology features being seen for the first time here”, ' 'said Colin Robertson.

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

The partnership’s unequaled success in the UK is ' 'inspiring the joint team to extend its offer to other ' 'right-hand drive global markets. Sales have been announced ' 'in New Zealand and there are other projects in the pipeline. ' '

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

Mr Ho said that, for BYD, this is part of growing success ' 'in markets and market sectors across the world. “I’m ' 'referring to our exciting rail transit operation – the Sky ' 'Rail: a unique, battery-driven monorail system, to ' 'approaching plans to offer specialised electric commercial ' 'vehicles in Europe and of our intention to locate a battery ' 'plant in Europe”.

Shenzhen, ' 'China – Today, BYD officially announced the launch ' 'of the Blade Battery, a development set to mitigate concerns ' 'about battery safety in electric vehicles.

\n' '

At an online launch event themed “The Blade Battery – ' 'Unsheathed to Safeguard the World”, Wang Chuanfu, BYD ' 'Chairman and President, said that the Blade Battery reflects ' 'BYD’s determination to resolve issues in battery safety ' 'while also redefining safety standards for the entire ' 'industry.

\n' '

\n' '
\n' '

Wang Chuanfu at the ' 'launch event

\n' '

BYD highlighted a video of the Blade Battery successfully ' 'passing a nail penetration test, which is seen as the most ' 'rigorous way to test the thermal runaway of batteries due to ' 'its sheer difficulty. "In terms of battery safety and energy ' 'density, BYD’s Blade Battery has obvious advantages," said ' 'Professor Ouyang Minggao, Member of the Chinese Academy of ' 'Sciences and Professor at Tsinghua University.

\n' '

The Blade Battery has been developed by BYD over the past ' 'several years. The singular cells are arranged together in ' 'an array and then inserted into a battery pack. Due to its ' 'optimized battery pack structure, the space utilization of ' 'the battery pack is increased by over 50% compared to ' 'conventional lithium iron phosphate block batteries.

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

BYD Blade Battery ' 'Pack

\n' '

While undergoing nail penetration tests, the Blade ' 'Battery emitted neither smoke nor fire after being ' 'penetrated, and its surface temperature only reached 30 to ' '60°C. Under the same conditions, a ternary lithium battery ' 'exceeded 500°C and violently burned, and while a ' 'conventional lithium iron phosphate block battery did not ' 'openly emit flames or smoke, its surface temperature reached ' 'dangerous temperatures of 200 to 400°C. This implies that ' 'EVs equipped with the Blade Battery would be far less ' 'susceptible to catching fire – even when they are severely ' 'damaged.

\n' '

\n' '
\n' '

\n' '

Test results for three types of EV power batteries ' 'after nail penetration, with eggs used to indicate the ' 'temperature on the battery’s surface

\n' '

The Blade Battery also passed other extreme test ' 'conditions, such as being crushed, bent, being heated in a ' 'furnace to 300°C and overcharged by 260%. None of these ' 'resulted in a fire or explosion.

\n' '

He Long, Vice President of BYD and Chairman of FinDreams ' 'Battery Co., Ltd., covered four distinct advantages of the ' 'Blade Battery including a high starting temperature for ' 'exothermic reactions, slow heat release and low heat ' 'generation, as well as its ability to not release oxygen ' 'during breakdowns or easily catch fire.

\n' '

In the past few years, many EV manufacturers have fallen ' 'into a competition for ever-greater cruising range. When the ' 'range becomes the prime factor to consider, this focus is ' 'then transferred to power battery makers, leading to ' 'unreasonable pursuits of “energy density” in the battery ' 'industry. It is due to this unpractical focus on “energy ' 'density” that safety has been sidelined from power battery ' 'development. BYD’s Blade Battery aims to bring battery ' 'safety back to the forefront, a redirection from the ' 'industry’s tenuous focus on this crucial aspect.

\n' '

"Today, many vehicle brands are in discussion with us ' 'about partnerships based on the technology of the Blade ' 'Battery," said He Long. He added that BYD will gladly share ' 'and work with global partners to achieve mutually beneficial ' 'outcomes for all industry players.

Following this week’s announcement of BYD’s ' 'victory, the company can look forward to the special iF ' 'DESIGN AWARDS ceremony in May.

\n' '

7,300 participants from 56 countries entered the design ' 'competition – first conceived in 1953 and now comprising a ' 'huge variety of categories from all walks of life – all ' 'encompassing the latest trends, innovations and the unique ' 'nature of modern day design. An iF DESIGN AWARD winner ' 'boasts a highly regarded iF seal-of-approval; a symbol of ' 'outstanding design.

\n' '

The iF DESIGN AWARD judges deliberated on a range of ' 'design criteria, including innovation & elaboration, ' 'aesthetics, functionality, responsibility and positioning. ' 'Their considerations centrered on the Home from Home design ' 'with its interior and exterior working in harmony. The ' 'smooth roofline removes equipment from sight for clean ' 'aesthetics, while the vibrant orange and cool, calm, ' 'pastel-blue create a dynamic contrast. Inside, the cabin ' 'colours, subtle material finishing and ambient lighting ' 'create a spacious and relaxing atmosphere.

BYD, a global leader in ' 'zero-emission vehicles, is celebrating its 10th ' 'anniversary as a producer of Lithium Iron-Phosphate ' 'battery-powered forklifts by launching to the market its BYD ' 'dual-charging system, promising its customers ' 'industry-leading recharge speeds. It is also bringing to the ' 'market the latest generation of the BYD PTP20P Stand-On ' 'Pallet Truck.

\n' '

Already renowned for the ability to be charged ' 'significantly faster than comparable lithium-ion battery ' 'systems, the unique BYD Iron-Phosphate battery technology ' 'becomes an even more compelling proposition when paired with ' 'the new BYD dual-charging system, ensuring ' 'the manufacturer remains a step ahead of its rivals.

\n' '

The new BYD dual-charging ' 'system

\n' '

The BYD dual-charging system – available initially for ' 'the IFOY Award-nominated ECB50 counterbalance forklift – ' 'offers two charging ports to the material handling ' 'equipment, effectively doubling the charging speed when ' 'connected to a pair of charger guns each offering 200A when ' 'plugged into a single compact, intelligent BYD charger. In ' 'environments where high productivity relies on maximum ' 'availability of the material handling fleet, such as ' 'high-throughput warehouses and cross-docking facilities, the ' 'BYD dual-charging system will ensure industry-leading levels ' 'of uptime.

\n' '

\n' '
\n' '

BYD ECB50 counterbalance ' 'forklift truck - now available with a dual-charging ' 'system

\n' '

In 2020, BYD celebrates its 10th year as a ' 'manufacturer of Lithium Iron-Phosphate battery-powered ' 'forklifts, longer than any of its competitors in the ' 'forklift market. It is a global market leader in renewable ' 'energy solutions, and is the only forklift maker that ' 'designs, manufactures and develops its own batteries, thus ' 'ensuring it can bring benefits from technological ' 'advancements directly and rapidly to market.

\n' '

“We are excited to announce the BYD dual-charging system ' 'as we celebrate our 10th anniversary as a forklift ' 'manufacturer,” says Blade Feng, Forklift Business Unit ' 'Director at BYD Europe. “As a pioneer in the rapidly ' 'developing Iron-Phosphate powered forklift sector, we are ' 'continually innovating to ensure our customers are provided ' 'with the means to operate at maximum efficiency with the ' 'smallest-possible impact on the environment. Our ' 'dual-charging system not only provides rapid charging, but ' 'also does so in a safe and sustainable manner.

\n' '

BYD is also launching to the market its second-generation ' 'BYD PTP20P\n' 'Stand-On Pallet Truck. Initially scheduled for its world ' 'premiere at the cancelled LogiMAT 2020 trade fair, this ' 'completely re-engineered high-speed truck, with a driving ' 'speed up to 12 km/h, features superior stability, ' 'flexibility, and a floating driving system for optimal ' 'traction, a 2000kg load capacity, and has a fixed platform ' 'and side panel.

\n' '

Like all BYD material handling equipment, the new BYD ' 'PTP20P is powered by BYD Iron-Phosphate battery technology, ' 'ensuring high levels of reliability and uptime, and a highly ' 'competitive Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

When compared to equivalent equipment powered by ' 'traditional lead acid batteries, BYD batteries require no ' 'maintenance, have a shorter charge time, a longer working ' 'life, and use considerably less energy. BYD fast-charging ' 'technology allows the charging time to be reduced to just ' 'one hour. Furthermore, BYD batteries can be topped-up during ' 'short breaks in operations with no detrimental effect to the ' 'integrity of the battery, thus guaranteeing maximum uptime ' 'at the lowest-possible cost.

\n' '

“As a leading manufacturer of new energy vehicles and a ' 'global leader in the manufacturer of electric buses, our ' 'tried-and-tested Lithium Iron-Phosphate battery technology ' 'is at the heart of all of our material handling equipment,” ' 'concludes Blade Feng. “With maintenance-free operation and ' 'an up-to-40% reduction in energy use compared to equivalent ' 'capacity lead acid battery-powered equipment, BYD trucks are ' 'particularly well-suited for multi-shift applications and ' 'enable both distribution partners and operators to make an ' 'easy investment decision.”

The new 12-metre models are ' 'destined for the town of Piteå in the north-east of Sweden ' 'where the new BYD fleet will go into service at their most ' 'northerly location ever in Europe – close to the arctic ' 'circle at latitude 65.31º north.

\n' '

The far northern region of Sweden provides the ideal ' 'opportunity for BYD to demonstrate the capability of pure ' 'electric technology in extremely cold environments, having ' 'already seen successful operation in regions throughout ' 'Scandinavia. Similarly, in southern Europe where climates ' 'are often hot, BYD eBus fleets are performing with ' 'exceptional efficiency with BYD emerging as the brand of ' 'choice for Local Authorities in an increasing number of ' 'towns and cities.

\n' '

\n' '

Following delivery in summer 2021, Nobina’s BYD fleet in ' 'Sweden alone will total 125 vehicles, with a presence in ' 'nine major Swedish towns and cities. Moreover, Nobina has ' 'for some time been the largest BYD bus fleet customer ' 'throughout the Nordic region, with over 160 BYD eBuses now ' 'on order or in operation, including 44 vehicles in service ' 'in Norway and Denmark. Further afield, over 1300 BYD eBuses ' 'are now in operation or on order with Public Transport ' 'Operators (PTOs) right across Europe.

\n' '

\n' '

BYD’s 12-metre eBus is the company’s best-selling model ' 'in Europe and the natural choice for PTOs wishing to promote ' 'zero-emissions electric mobility – delivering a full day’s ' 'operation on a single charge. Manufactured at BYD’s ' 'production facility in Komárom, Hungary, Nobina’s latest ' 'order has been specified with optional luggage racks.

\n' '

\n' '

“After more than five years and over 7 million ' 'kilmometers driven with BYD eBuses, in nordic conditions. ' 'We feel confident about the BYD platform meeting our high ' 'demands of a reliable, sustainable and attractive public ' 'transport – offering a cleaner, quiter and more comfortable ' 'traffic,” said Jens Råsten, Fleet manager, Nobina ' 'Group.

\n' '

\n' '

“Our ongoing partnership with Nobina is testament to the ' 'safety and performance of our eBus products,” said Isbrand ' 'Ho, Managing Director, BYD Europe, “Nobina places a great ' 'deal of confidence in our vehicles and this trust is ' 'rewarded with exceptional reliability and productivity; for ' 'Scandinavia’s largest Public Transport Operator, this is ' 'essential. Following extensive testing,” he said, “BYD ' 'electric drivetrain technology has delivered very positive ' 'results in taming the harsh winter conditions found in ' 'northern Europe – performance and reliability is not ' 'compromised, whatever the weather.”

\n' '

Located in the city’s Bishan District, the factory is ' 'currently the only production base for the Blade Battery. It ' 'possesses a highly demanding production environment and much ' "of BYD's self-developed Blade Battery production equipment. " 'The factory has a total investment of 10 billion yuan with ' 'an annual production capacity of 20GWH.

The Blade Battery refers to a single-cell battery with a ' 'length of 96 cm, a width of 9 cm and a height of 1.35 cm, ' 'which can be placed in an array and inserted into a battery ' 'pack like a blade.

BYD 12-metre eBus – BYD’s most popular ' 'electric bus

The new, all-aluminum ' 'construction offers a lighter weight body over its 12-metre ' 'predecessor, yet delivering higher structural strength, ' 'improved sealing performance and anti-corrosion properties. ' '

\n' '

Power is delivered via BYD’s fully electric drivetrain ' 'technology featuring high capacity 348 kWh Iron-Phosphate ' 'batteries providing an impressive over 250 km range (based ' 'on the 12-metre model). The drivetrain also benefits from ' 'BYD’s innovative wheel-hub-motor – meaning no gearbox, ' 'driveshaft or differential componentry – and also BYD’s ' 'industry-leading Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS) ' 'delivering excellent heat interchange properties. BTMS ' 'successfully reduces battery degradation while extending ' 'battery life and vehicle operating range.

\n' '

A range of eBus charging solutions are in place to meet ' 'divergent customer requirements, including AC charging, DC ' 'charging and opportunity charging. BYD charging ' 'infrastructure is easy to install, use and maintain.

\n' '

Smart Monitoring and Diagnosing System (SMDS) allows BYD ' 'operators to monitor real-time status of their eBuses and ' 'their charging posts. Operators can remotely diagnose any ' 'problems and control the vehicles’ systems, significantly ' 'reducing maintenance costs. Driving data generated by SMDS ' 'can be analysed and used for further research.

\n' '

A new intelligent low-voltage electricity management ' 'system integrates all the electric circuits of the bus, ' 'while a newly upgraded self-diagnosis function effectively ' 'diagnoses short circuits caused by excessive internal heat ' 'or voltage. The system may be tailored to meet a diverse ' 'range of operational requirements. Additional protection is ' 'afforded for both the hardware and software, thus further ' 'enhancing overall safety of the bus.

The batteries utilised across the BYD range of pure ' 'electric vehicles offer outstanding performance and ' 'reliability, amounting to industry-leading Total Cost of ' 'Ownership (TCO). When compared to equivalent vehicles ' 'powered by traditional lead acid batteries, BYD ' 'Iron-Phosphate batteries require lower maintenance, have a ' 'shorter charge time, a longer working life, and use up to ' "40% less energy. Furthermore, BYD's batteries can be " 'opportunistically charged during short breaks in operations, ' 'thus guaranteeing maximum uptime at the lowest-possible ' 'cost.

\n' "

BYD's proven technology is currently deployed at " 'distribution centres, ports, transport hubs and airports ' 'across Europe, and often operated under challenging time ' 'constraints in extreme conditions. Under normal operating ' 'conditions, the decision to choose BYD as a supplier of your ' 'workplace transport will be rewarded by a typical Return on ' 'Investment (ROI) of approximately four years. Supported by ' "the assurance of BYD's industry-leading eight-year battery " 'warranty, its workplace vehicles can generate considerable ' 'savings over the course of their working life.

\n' '

Both forklifts and commercial vehicles are distributed by ' "BYD's selected forklift dealers, ensuring customers are " 'never far from their single-source supplier. Whether you are ' 'a single-truck user, or the operator of a large fleet of ' 'forklifts and trucks, BYD has the capacity to supply and ' 'service your equipment across the entire Iberian Peninsula. ' 'Furthermore, in the unlikely event of your local BYD dealer ' "not having a critical part in stock, BYD's centrally-located " 'parts warehouse in Rotterdam ensures rapid delivery of spare ' 'parts, often within a 24-hour window.

“London’s red double-decker bus is a true symbol of the ' 'city and an iconic vehicle known around the world,” said BYD ' 'Europe Managing Director, Isbrand Ho. “The BYD ADL ' 'Enviro400EV retains the soul of the London double decker ' 'bus, brought up-to-date by embracing 21st\n' 'century technology; technology that is 100% emission free ' 'and operationally ultra-efficient – good news for ' 'Metroline,” he said, “and good news for the people of ' 'London.”

\n' '

“I am thrilled to be able to present the first BYD ADL ' 'double decker for London,” he added, “at the start of what I ' 'believe will be a continuation of our highly successful ' 'partnership with Metroline and TfL.”

\n' '

ADL Chief Executive, Colin Robertson, commented: “Since ' 'it began in 2015, the collaboration with BYD has gone from ' 'strength to strength – our best-selling Enviro200EV single ' 'deck buses\xa0hit a landmark 2 million miles of zero ' 'emissions service earlier this year and we are delighted to ' 'see the relationship evolve with the first BYD ADL pure ' 'electric double decks now on the streets of London. We’re ' 'confident the Enviro400EV can emulate the success of its ' 'single deck equivalent, delivering cleaner air, less noise ' 'pollution and extreme passenger comfort for all.”

\n' '

The new BYD ADL Enviro400EV is built in Britain at ADL’s ' 'facility in Scarborough, Yorkshire, using BYD components ' 'assembled into a powered chassis built in Europe at BYD’s ' 'plant in Komarom, Hungary.

\n' '

\n' '

The BYD ADL partnership has led the market for electric ' 'buses in the United Kingdom since it was formed in 2015. ' 'Using ADL’s expertise in bus design to optimise vehicle ' 'layouts and maximise the use of available space, the ' 'partnership will upgrade the BYD ADL Enviro200EV single ' 'decker to the new vehicle lengths of 10.9m (replacing the ' 'current 10.8m model) and 11.6m (offering two extra seats ' 'over the current 12m model, which it replaces).

\n' '

\n' '
\n' '

BYD ADL Enviro200EV ' 'optimised layout [2]

\n' '

\n' '

The buses will utilise ADL’s new all-electric heating ' 'system for electric buses. This heat pump solution has been ' 'developed to transfer atmospheric heat in to the vehicle. ' 'Designed to run efficiently in low ambient temperatures, it ' 'can also be used in reverse to cool the vehicle during ' 'warmer weather. The high efficiency of the system enables ' 'additional operational range.

\n' '

The upgrade brings the buses in line with the shorter, ' '10.2m and 9.6m versions of the BYD ADL Enviro200EV as well ' 'as the double deck BYD ADL Enviro400EV, all of which have ' 'been introduced to the market in 2019.

\n' '

Orders for the upgraded models have been taken from ' 'operators in the United Kingdom\xa0and New Zealand, taking ' 'the total number of BYD ADL electric buses delivered or on ' 'order to 412.

\n' '

Isbrand Ho, Managing Director of BYD Europe, says: “Here ' 'we see yet another example of the close collaboration ' 'between BYD and ADL; bringing together its industry-leading ' 'resources to develop an exacting specification that benefits ' 'UK bus operators and their passengers. I’m pleased to see ' 'more and more public transport operators in the UK adopting ' 'BYD ADL as an electric mobility solution.”

\n' '

Colin Robertson, ADL Chief Executive, comments: “Our ' 'partnership continues to go from strength to strength as bus ' 'operators choose reliability and best-in-class support. With ' 'this upgrade to the BYD ADL Enviro200EV single decker, we ' 'are building even more strongly on ADL’s unrivalled ' 'experience in designing buses that maximise efficiency, ' 'capacity and passenger comfort.”

It is the first purchase order in Portugal for BYD’s pure ' 'electric buses and follows a successful test by SMTUC of a ' 'BYD 12 metre ebus last year. With the confirmation of this ' 'order for Portugal, BYD is expanding its European presence ' 'to 10 countries and now has more than over 400 orders for ' 'its electric buses in Europe.

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

The ebuses will service several routes in the city centre ' 'of Coimbra, becoming the city’s first fleet of 12 metre pure ' 'electric buses. Delivery of the eight vehicles is planned in ' 'the beginning of 2019.

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

Manuel Augusto Soares Machado, President of the Coimbra ' 'Municipality: “I am honoured to announce that these BYD ' 'buses are the first full size 12 metre pure electric buses ' 'in the one hundred year history of SMTUC. I am also happy to ' 'announce that new tenders are being prepared to reinforce ' 'electric public transportation in Coimbra.”

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

Isbrand Ho, Managing Director at BYD Europe: “We are ' 'delighted to be able to add this important market, Portugal, ' 'to our client portfolio. From north to south Europe, we have ' 'become a competitive player across the Continent covering ' 'all the climatic conditions from the cold north of ' 'Scandinavia to the heat of Italy, Spain and now Portugal, ' 'not forgetting the more moderate conditions of Benelux and ' 'the UK. The results of the tests with our ebus here were ' 'promising and we are confident that our ebuses can deliver ' 'reliable and safe services and help to improve air quality – ' 'whatever the weather!”

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

•\tA collaboration with Miretti, a leading specialist in ' 'explosion protection, resulting in the world premiere of the ' 'first ATEX certified BYD ECB20C forklift truck, especially ' 'suited for use in the coatings, chemical, food/flavours and ' 'bottled gas industries.

\n' '

\n' '

•\tUsing the same platform as the IFOY-winning model in ' '2016, the new BYD ECB18C is a compact four-wheel 1.8 tonne ' 'capacity model.

BYD, which is attending the Show for the third time, is ' 'demonstrating its commitment to the important French bus ' 'market. The new BYD assembly plant in Beauvais north of ' 'Paris is expected to start operation in the second half of ' 'this year. It is the second bus assembly plant for BYD in ' 'Europe, after the facility in Komarom, northern Hungary. ' '

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

The Beauvais project calls for around 100 jobs to be ' 'created in the initial phase. The production facility will ' 'occupy 32,000 sq m of a site covering nearly 80,000 sq m and ' 'will assemble up to 200 vehicles a year—single-deck buses ' 'and coaches—in its first phase. Other vehicles may be added ' 'as BYD expands its product line. In addition to bus ' 'assembly, BYD plans an after-sales unit for maintenance and ' 'repairs, as well as a logistics centre for spare parts. In ' 'the longer term, a test centre for batteries may be added. ' '

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

“France is now clearly established as one of BYD’s ‘home ' 'markets’ and the new Beauvais facility will enable locally ' 'built buses tailored to meet local expectations to be ' 'offered to French customers in the near future”, said ' 'Isbrand Ho, Managing Director of BYD Europe.

BYD and Changan Automobile ' 'Signs the Groundbreaking Agreement
\n' '

\n' '

“This strategic agreement marks a significant milestone ' 'in the way BYD conducts its supply and marketing. Today’s ' 'announcement has implications for the company’s battery ' 'business and the long term development of the entire ' 'organization,” said BYD President and Chairman Wang Chuanfu. ' '

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

BYD, which began as a battery manufacturer in 1995, plans ' 'to accelerate its battery manufacturing business and cement ' 'its industry position by working with domestic and ' 'international OEMs to sell new energy vehicle batteries, ' 'establishing joint ventures and attracting strategic ' 'investments.

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

“This cooperation not only serves as a model of industry ' 'cooperation, it also sets a new benchmark for China’s smart ' 'car and new energy vehicle industry,” said President of ' 'Changan Automobile Zhu Huarong.?“We will pave the way for a ' 'revolution in the global automobile industry, one that is ' 'smarter and greener.”

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

In addition, both automobile heavyweights intend to ' 'jointly research autonomous driving and a wide range of new ' 'energy vehicle technology. This includes the recycling of ' 'electric vehicle batteries, fast charging technology, and ' 'other future battery technologies. They also plan to improve ' 'on supply chain and car assembly techniques.

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

BYD and Changan Automobile have agreed to collaborate on ' 'their overseas presence as well by exploring the possibility ' 'of starting a knockdown factory, distribution channels and ' 'services. In the meantime, BYD new energy vehicles will be ' 'advertised on Changan Travel, a car-sharing platform ' 'established by Changan Automobile.

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

With its solid strength in research and development and ' 'innovative business development model, BYD has developed a ' 'comprehensive range of products in fields such as ' 'electronics, automotive, solar energy and rail transit. ' '

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

BYD is present in more than 200 cities in 50 countries ' 'and regions and was the number one seller of new energy ' 'vehicles in the world between 2015 and 2017.

Both the 12m ebus and 18m ebus on show share BYD’s ‘new ' 'look’ frontal styling and are equipped with new features, ' 'including the high power density BYD Iron-Phosphate battery ' 'along with BYD’s industry leading Battery Thermal Management ' 'System. The buses are in addition equipped with a Smart ' 'Monitoring and Diagnosing System, allowing customers to ' 'remotely control bus systems and diagnose problems.

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

Both buses were manufactured or final trial assembled in ' 'BYD’s two European bus factories. The 12m ebus is produced ' 'in Komarom, Hungary. This first ever European BYD bus plant ' 'has been up and running since April 2017. Since its opening ' 'it has delivered bus fleets to Dutch customers Connexxion ' 'and Syntus and to the Swedish Nobina. Recently it has begun ' 'production of 30 12m ebuses for Brussels Airport.

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

The 18m articulated ebus was final assembled in the ' 'second BYD bus plant in Europe, located in Beauvais, France. ' 'This factory, initially meant to final trial assembly buses ' 'that are produced in Hungary for the French market, will be ' 'commissioned within a month.

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

In IAA today, a major order for BYD was announced today. ' 'The Swedish bus operator Nobina placed orders for a total of ' '26 ebuses, of which 11 of the 12m ebuses, 10 of the 18m ' 'articulated ebuses and 5 of the 8.7m midi buses, servicing ' 'routes in south-west Sweden. With these new orders, BYD has ' 'received orders for more than 100 electric buses in 2018 in ' 'Scandinavia.

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '
\n' '



\n' '

Isbrand Ho, Managing Director at BYD Europe speaking at ' 'the press conference, said: “There are many new electric ' 'buses on show at IAA 2018 but BYD, as the most experienced ' 'and largest ebus supplier, can take a more mature approach. ' 'We are announcing important product enhancements delivering ' 'real operator benefits although our ebuses and their service ' 'support have nothing to prove in performance, reliability or ' 'range”.

The bus will begin operation in September this year and ' 'will run until February 2017 – so spanning the extremes of ' 'hot and cold temperatures in the French capital. The trial ' 'will include operation on routes 21 and 147.

\n' '

\n' '

An agreement covering the trial was signed today at the ' 'Transports Publics 2016 event taking place in Paris. It was ' 'signed by Madame Elisabeth Borne, CEO of RATP, and Isbrand ' 'Ho, Managing Director of BYD Europe.

\n' '

Mme Borne said: “The conclusion of this new agreement ' 'shows the ambition of RATP to become a major player in the ' 'energy transition of the public transport sector. We wish to ' 'test a maximum of vehicles before launching massive tenders ' 'from 2017. With great support from STIF, the Paris ' 'metropolis will become the first in the world possessing a ' 'fully ecologic bus fleet.”

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

Mr Ho commented: “This is a significant step for BYD ' 'since France and in particular Paris is recognised as a ' 'public transport thought leader globally. We heard of the ' 'tremendous commitment to improving air quality by both the ' 'French government and the Paris regional government when we ' 'attended the UN’s COP21 discussions here last December. Now, ' 'we are delighted to be contributing one of our buses to the ' 'trial programme underway in the city”.

\n' '

\n' '

In the French national political context, an “Energy ' 'transition law” is influencing the change to cleaner ' 'vehicles. Indeed, from 2020 all public transport ' 'organisations will have to plan in their fleet renewal to ' 'purchase at least 50% of clean vehicles.

\n' '

\n' '

The Project “Bus 2025” consists of the renewal of the ' 'complete RATP fleet to clean vehicles. Several milestones ' 'are in place to achieve this by 2025 when the fleet should ' 'consist of 80% electric buses and 20% CNG buses. This plan ' 'is unprecedented, since it concerns the entire RATP bus ' 'network in Île-de-France, one of the largest in the world. ' 'It has 350 lines and transports each year 1.1 billion ' 'passengers with a fleet consisting of 4,500 vehicles. The ' 'issue is especially important, since buses represents 50% of ' 'the carbon footprint of the RATP.

\n' '

\n' '

BYD’s 12m ebus, which will be used in the Paris trial, ' 'has been proven in similar pilot studies in over 150 cities ' 'worldwide, and will form Europe’s largest full size pure ' 'electric bus fleet when 51 enter service in London later ' 'this year. BYD is in the process of introducing a full range ' 'of electric buses – ranging from an 8.6m midi bus to an 18m ' 'articulated bus and a double decker. The world’s first pure ' 'electric coach was premiered in Paris earlier this ' 'year.

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

BYD France is now in operation under the direction of ' 'industry experts Bertrand Berger and Julien Bahri.

Beauvais, March 23, 2017 – At ' 'a press conference in Beauvais on Thursday, March 23, ' 'Isbrand Ho, Managing Director of BYD Europe, accompanied by ' 'Xavier Bertrand, President of the Hauts-de-France ' 'Region;

\n' '

Caroline Cayeux, President of the Beauvais Urban ' 'Community; Christian Sandowski, Mayor of Allonne and ' 'Business Development Delegate to the Beauvais Urban ' 'Community; Philippe Vasseur, President of Nord France Invest ' 'and Special Commissioner for the Industrial Redevelopment of ' 'Hauts-de-France; and Didier Martin, Prefect of the Oise ' 'departement, announced the Chinese group’s decision to ' 'invest €10 million in a site in the town of Allonne, near ' 'Beauvais, in Hauts-de-France.

\n' '

\n' '
\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

The project calls for around 100 jobs to be created in ' 'the initial phase. The production facility will occupy ' '32,000 sq m of a parcel totaling nearly 80,000 sq m, and ' 'will assemble up to 200 vehicles a year—single-deck buses ' 'and coaches—in its first phase. Other vehicles may be added ' 'as BYD expands its product line.

\n' '

\n' '

Production is scheduled to get underway in the first half ' 'of 2018. In addition to bus assembly, BYD plans an ' 'after-sales unit for maintenance and repairs, as well as a ' 'logistics center for spare parts. In the longer term, a test ' 'center for batteries could be added.

\n' '

\n' '

Isbrand Ho, Managing Director of BYD Europe, said "We ' 'chose France because it has Europe’s largest bus market. And ' 'we selected Beauvais and the Hauts-de-France region because ' 'of the quality of the building proposed to us, the region’s ' 'ideal location, and the proactive approach of local and ' 'regional authorities. I would like to take this opportunity ' 'to extend my personal thanks to the representatives of the ' 'Hauts-de-France region, the Beauvais Conurbation, Nord ' 'France Invest and Business France."

\n' '

\n' '

He explained BYD vision:"We want to contribute to cleaner ' 'air in large cities. Diesel-powered urban buses are not only ' 'one of the leading sources of air pollution, they are also ' 'one of the vehicle categories that is easiest to electrify, ' 'since they travel along clearly identified routes. We ' 'anticipate a significant rise in sales of electric buses in ' 'Europe, and particularly in France, Europe’s largest ' 'national market."

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

Xavier Bertrand, President of the Hauts-de-France region, ' 'welcomed the new facility: "BYD\'s decision to set up in ' 'Hauts-de-France is great news for employment—our region’s ' 'top priority. A plant like this shows that we can attract ' 'major international corporations when we invest the ' 'resources to do so. Last but not least, production of ' 'electric buses fits in perfectly with our Third Industrial ' 'Revolution strategy, which aims to make

\n' '

Hauts-de-France a leader in energy transition."

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

For Caroline Cayeux, Senator and Mayor of Beauvais and ' 'President of the Beauvais conurbation, "BYD\'s choice ' 'confirms the Beauvais region’s appeal for business, and ' 'underscores our capacity to host cutting-edge industries. ' 'The company found the buildings it needed here, and along ' 'with skilled human resources from our labor pool. We set out ' 'what we’ve got to offer, and our assets met BYD Group’s ' 'requirements in full. The result is the win-win partnership ' "that we are launching officially today, and I'm delighted " 'both for our region and for the people who live here."

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

Didier Martin, Prefect of the Oise department, also ' 'welcomed BYD’s decision to set up locally: "This project ' 'testifies to the industrial vigor of the Oise and its ' 'capacity to back cutting-edge industries that address the ' 'transition toward sustainable energy sources. It results ' 'from closer ties between the French State and local ' 'communities, working in partnership to revitalize regional ' "development and employment. France's national administration " 'is on board and prepared to do everything it can to help BYD ' 'settle into the Beauvais area."

We look ' 'forward to working intensively with BYD ADL over the next ' 'few weeks to finalise the terms of this important ' 'investment. Our client TfL and our parent RATP are watching ' 'this project with great interest and we count on close ' 'collaboration with BYD ADL to implement it successfully. ' '

\n' '

\n' '

"RATP Dev London\'s strategic move to convert our ' "Shepherd's Bush garage to zero emissions operations is " 'closely aligned to the policy of our parent company to ' 'convert its Paris bus fleet to zero emissions operations. We ' 'are committed to playing a leading role in the sector in the ' 'energy transition and there is close dialogue between the ' 'London and Paris operations over the technical, operational ' 'and commercial aspects of this transformation."

\n' '

\n' '

Isbrand Ho, MD of BYD Europe, said: "This is a real vote ' 'of confidence in the strength of the BYD/ADL partnership and ' 'of our proven product range. The first fleet we supplied in ' 'London has performed well and now Londoners will benefit ' 'from more of our zero pollution and cost effective electric ' 'buses. We are confident of being able to announce further ' 'orders shortly".

The delivery yesterday of ' 'three 12m BYD ebuses to the municipality of Novara, close to ' 'Turin, means that the two cities now have 23 emission free ' 'full size buses in service, the largest such fleet in Italy. ' '

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '
\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

The new buses can deliver a full day of operation without ' 'the need for recharging – a BYD strength which is winning ' 'its customers across Europe.

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

The new electric buses were presented yesterday to the ' 'Mayor of Novara, Alessandro Canelli, and the Director of the ' 'operator SUN, Marzio Liuni, by Isbrand Ho, Managing Director ' 'of BYD Europe.

\n' '

The purchase process began in 2014 when the Piedmont ' 'Region decided to allocate resources from the Ministry of ' 'the Environment for air quality improvement through the ' 'purchase of electrically powered buses.

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

SUN and GTT of Turin joined this program by allocating ' 'the necessary funds for the co-participation in the purchase ' 'of the vehicles - 20 units destined for GTT of Turin and 3 ' 'units for SUN of Novara.

\n' '

Isbrand Ho said: “Thanks to the vision of Piedmont ' 'Region, and of foresight of those who wanted to believe ' 'before others in the future of the full size pure electric ' 'bus, the citizens of Novara can begin to breathe cleaner air ' '– a process which will hopefully accelerate as the city ' 'switches on new electric buses and switches off the old ' 'polluting diesel model”.

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

He added: “BYD is building its foundation in Europe with ' 'Europe’s largest fleet of electric buses having completed ' 'one million kilometres of zero pollution operation in ' 'London, the largest fleet of electric buses at a major ' 'international airport now over two years old at Schiphol ' 'Amsterdam and operators from the north of Sweden to Israel ' 'amongst our trusted customers”.

\n' '

\n' '

\n' '

The BYD ebuses can carry 83 passengers, of whom 22 are ' 'seated, with space for a wheelchair. Because the buses do ' 'not have internal combustion petrol engines they are very ' 'quiet and below the noise threshold typical of urban ' 'environments.

This makes the delivery of two 8.7m Midi ' 'eBuses especially important for the people who live and ' 'travel in the region, paving the way for a cleaner, ' 'healthier environment delivered through a new energy vehicle ' 'footprint.

\n' '

A presentation ceremony yesterday marked the official ' 'handover of the two eBuses in the historic Piazza Cavour ' 'close to the Palazzo del Polpolo, as part of a special event ' 'attended by local dignitaries from the Municipality of ' 'Ancona, along with senior executives from Conerobus and BYD ' 'Europe.

\n' '

The Mayor of Ancona, Valeria Mancinelli was in ' 'attendance, joined by Ida Simonella, Councilor for Transport ' 'of the Municipality of Ancona, Stefano Foresi, Councillor ' 'for Democratic Participation of the Municipality of Ancona, ' 'and Muzio Papaveri, President and CEO of Conerobus. ' '

\n' '
\n' '

\n' '

School groups from Ancona ' 'were able to travel onboard the new eBus during the delivery ' 'ceremony

\n' '

Leading the speakers, the Mayor of Ancona, Valeria ' 'Mancinelli, commented: “The Administration places ' 'sustainability policies very high on our agenda. Progress is ' 'built over time and today we have achieved a positive step ' 'forward. Over the years we have developed a system that has ' 'provided us with increasingly green public transport. We ' 'have a series of projects that will allow us to further ' 'strengthen the sustainability of city mobility, while ' 'supporting modernisation and functional intermodality. These ' 'factors combined will lead to a healthier environment and ' 'provide an even better way of experiencing the city.”

\n' '

Commissioning the two eBuses is the start of an exciting ' 'new era, supporting the ethics of Conerobus in its strategy ' 'to introduce non-polluting vehicles to its fleet, while ' 'offering customers high levels of comfort on their ' 'journeys.

\n' '

One of the eBuses will be used in the busy seaport which ' 'serves the Adriatic Sea, primarily for tourist routes, while ' 'the other will be used in the bustling city centre of ' 'Ancona.

\n' '

President and CEO of Conerobus, Muzio Papaveri said: "We ' 'have long been committed to building ever more sustainable ' 'public transport. The new electric vehicles are just the ' 'latest in a series of initiatives enabling us to deliver a ' 'service devoted to innovation with low environmental impact. ' 'The new trolleybus and electric buses represent the final ' 'phase of a larger project focusing on energy ' 'transition.”

\n' '

BYD’s Midibus has the capacity for 58 passengers ' 'providing a stylish and relaxing interior with ambient ' 'lighting and well-designed seating to make journeys a ' 'comfortable and pleasurable experience. Each has been ' 'designed to accommodate wheelchair access. Safety is a key ' 'feature of the eBus design. The BYD Battery Thermal ' 'Management System not only maximises battery life for ' 'extended range, but also provides optimum levels of safety. ' 'The compact design and manoeuvrability make BYD’s Midibus ' 'the perfect choice for navigating city centre ' 'environments.

\n' '

BYD Europe Managing Director, Isbrand Ho said: “We are ' 'delighted that Ancona has taken delivery of its first ' 'electric buses. To know that BYD eBuses have been selected ' 'as the first fully electric buses for the Municipality of ' 'Ancona makes this even more special. Our eBuses have an ' 'ever-increasing presence in cities across Europe and this ' 'latest delivery to Ancona is a result of our close and ' 'long-established partnership with local Public Transport ' 'Operators and Authorities.”

\n' '

Over 100 BYD eBuses are currently on order or in ' 'operation throughout Italy, providing a safe, reliable and ' 'environmentally clean service on intensive routes in the ' 'cities of Turin, Novara, Alessandria, Milan, Padua and ' 'Messina, and other smaller towns. In Italy alone, they have ' 'combined, travelled over 7 million kilometres, saving some ' '7,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions from equivalent ' 'diesel-powered vehicles.

The New BYD ECB20S ' '3-Wheel Counterbalance

\n' '

Any business in this sector operating a forklift truck or ' 'a fleet of materials handling equipment will already most ' 'likely be using electric-powered equipment. The main ' 'difference is that, most of these will be powered by ' 'traditional lead-acid batteries which are not only notorious ' 'for spilling acid and leaking gasses, but also run with a ' 'considerably reduced capacity the more they are used.

\n' '

That’s why manufacturers of forklifts are rushing to ' 'embrace lithium-ion technology, as it eliminates these ' 'health and safety issues and offers longer-lasting batteries ' 'with a greater operational window. However, as a ' 'sector-leading innovative company, BYD is a step ahead of ' 'the game as its 100% maintenance-free Lithium Iron Phosphate ' '(LiFePO4) batteries offer many more benefits than ' 'standard lithium-ion batteries.

\n' '

For example, they can be charged from 20% battery life to ' '100% in just 60 minutes. The efficiency of the BYD ' 'Iron-Phosphate Battery means the total cost of ownership ' '(TCO) of a BYD forklift can be as much as 60% lower than an ' 'equivalent lead-acid battery powered rival.

\n' '

BYD is unique amongst forklift makers in that it designs, ' 'manufactures and develops its own batteries and battery ' 'management systems (BMS), the same tried-and-tested ' 'technology that sits at the heart of its market-leading ' 'range of electric buses that can be seen in major cities and ' 'airports across Europe and the rest of the world. ' 'Additionally, BYD produces critically-acclaimed passenger ' 'cars and trucks, ensuring its technology is operating ' 'successfully in the most challenging and demanding ' 'conditions.

Frank Thorpe, Managing Director, BYD UK, said: “It is an ' 'honour for BYD to be associated with such an important ' 'global event for climate change, with BYD ADL British-built ' 'electric buses in operation as the part of the COP26 ' 'delegate shuttle service being provided by First Bus. It is ' 'especially fitting that these pure-electric buses with ' 'zero-emissions have been manufactured locally in Scotland, ' 'which means as well as contributing to protecting the ' 'planet, we are also supporting the local economy.

\n' '

“BYD is committed to ongoing technical innovation in ' 'electric mobility, which is pivotal to the future of public ' 'transport in the UK. We are passionate about clean, ' 'zero-emissions solutions. Through proven BYD technology in ' 'electric battery power for vehicles, and our reputation for ' 'reliability, we are extremely proud to be recognised as the ' 'world’s leading manufacturer of electric buses.”

\n' '

Duncan Cameron, Interim Managing Director, First Bus in ' 'Scotland said, “First Bus Scotland are delighted to have ' 'been chosen to operate the official COP26 shuttle service ' 'and will be working closely with SPT, Transport Scotland and ' 'the Cabinet Office to ensure a smooth and efficient service ' 'can be delivered for all delegates attending the event.

\n' '

“As leaders in sustainable mobility, we are fully aligned ' 'with the Government’s ambitions for a net-zero carbon ' 'transport system, including zero-emission bus fleets. We ' 'have already committed to achieving this by 2035 and we look ' 'forward to showcasing this to delegates over the course of ' 'the event.”

\n' '

SULEBS funding aims to help bus operators bridge the gap ' 'between the cost of diesel and zero emission fleets. The ' 'ambitious collaboration with Transport Scotland will not ' 'only help First Glasgow replace a further 126 of the oldest ' 'buses in its fleet with new zero emission buses; it will ' 'also help transform their Caledonia bus depot on the south ' 'side of the city centre. Already the UK’s largest depot, the ' 'investment will see it converted into one of the UK’s ' 'largest electric fleet charging stations, with the potential ' 'for over 150 vehicles to be recharged at a time.

\n' '

The Scottish Government’s Minister for Transport, Graeme ' 'Dey said: “I’m really pleased to see Transport Scotland’s ' 'SULEB scheme helping to fund this significant order of new ' 'electric buses, as part of our commitment to meeting ' 'Scotland’s world leading climate change targets and leading ' 'a green recovery from the pandemic. It’s a real success ' 'story that these buses will be manufactured by ADL in ' 'Falkirk – supporting jobs in bus manufacturing and ' 'benefiting the wider economy before they enter service for ' 'communities across Glasgow.”

    \n' '

    Glasgow, Scotland, UK - BYD ADL ' 'pure-electric buses are playing a prominent role at COP26, ' 'the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference ' 'in Glasgow. A fleet of ten BYD ADL Enviro400EV double deck ' 'buses have provided zero-emissions VIP transportation for ' 'world leaders, including UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and ' 'UN Secretary-General António Guterres, as they made the ' 'journey from the conference’s secure Blue Zone to an evening ' 'reception at Kelvingrove Art Gallery hosted by HRH The ' 'Prince of Wales.

    \n' '

    The British-built eBuses, produced within the electric ' 'bus partnership between BYD and Alexander Dennis Ltd (ADL), ' 'demonstrate how electrification is braced to transform ' 'public transportation on a global level. The successful BYD ' 'ADL partnership, which utilises pioneering BYD battery and ' 'integrated powertrain technology, has to date delivered or ' 'taken orders for over 1000 zero-emission buses in the UK. ' '

    \n' '

    As the world’s leading eBus manufacturer, BYD has ' 'delivered over 68,000 electric buses around the globe, and ' 'over 500 pure-electric, British-built buses to customers in ' 'the UK.

    \n' '

    With 26 years of pioneering experience in battery ' 'research and development, production and application, BYD is ' 'the only automobile manufacturer to produce its own power ' 'train system, battery, motors and motor control system.

    \n' '

    BYD ADL Enviro400EV electric buses were used for this ' 'privileged occasion to transfer dignitaries from around the ' 'world at COP26 following a collaboration between ADL and ' 'Stagecoach, the UK’s largest public transport operator. The ' 'double deck eBuses, built in Scotland as part of the BYD ADL ' 'partnership will be used for Stagecoach operations. They ' 'have been painted in Transport for London’s iconic red. ' '

    \n' '

    As the UK’s best-selling double deck electric bus, the ' 'BYD ADL Enviro400V is already in service in many public ' 'transport fleets nationwide. Its impressive driving range of ' '160 miles (257 km) and reputation for reliability makes it a ' 'viable choice for many bus operators.

    \n' '

    \n' '

    An Enviro400EV double deck electric bus is also being ' 'exhibited in the prestigious Blue Zone at COP26. This ' 'follows ADL’s invitation from the UK Government to showcase ' 'its latest innovations in sustainable transport to ' 'negotiators and global leaders attending the conference. It ' 'has been kindly loaned by another BYD ADL customer and bus ' 'operator, National Express, from its West Midlands ' 'fleet.

    \n' '

    The eBus on show in the Blue Zone is the perfect example ' 'of sustainable, clean and practical transportation. Its ' 'design and pioneering technology combined, is expected to ' 'draw strong global interest at the event as more countries ' 'implement transition to electrification, in a practical move ' 'towards net zero emissions and reduced air pollution.

    \n' '

    Paul Davies, ADL President & Managing Director, said: ' '“We’re delighted that world leaders have had the opportunity ' 'to ride on our world-leading double deck buses. COP26 is ' 'focused on finding solutions to the climate emergency and we ' 'are proud to have been able to demonstrate a zero-emission ' 'solution that is available right now. Clean electric buses ' 'are key to reducing transport emissions around the globe and ' 'encouraging modal shift to sustainable transport modes. ' 'Zero-emission buses are available today and ready to be ' 'rolled out at scale.

    \n' '

    “We are particularly delighted that Prime Minister Boris ' 'Johnson, as an avowed supporter of British-built ' 'zero-emission buses, was able to show world colleagues the ' 'level of innovation and expertise offered by Britain’s ' 'world-class bus manufacturing industry.”

    Isbrand Ho, Managing Director, BYD Europe B.V., said: “We ' 'are proud to see BYD ADL eBuses being experienced first-hand ' 'by esteemed world leaders and other influential delegates ' 'who can really make a difference in tackling climate change. ' 'BYD is committed to pioneering zero-emissions solutions for ' 'clean, reliable eco-friendly transportation. We are proud to ' 'collaborate with others who share our vision, as part of the ' 'global effort to support net zero targets.”

    \n' '

    It is not only in the Blue Zone of the conference where ' 'the Enviro400EV bus makes an appearance. It has played a ' 'high-profile role in the ‘Road to Renewables’ electric bus ' 'tour which started in London and finished its 11 day 968 ' 'mile journey on 29th October in Glasgow, three ' 'days before COP26 opened its doors. The event was a ' 'collaboration between COP26 partner SSE, the Go-Ahead group ' 'and other partners including BYD ADL, and promoted ' 'innovative projects for decarbonisation, such as ' 'Bus2Grid.

    Delivery of the latest ' 'BYD 12-metre eBuses to Deutsche Bahn

    \n' '

    Ettlingen / Karlsruhe, Germany - BYD, the world’s leading ' 'eBus manufacturer, 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 (DB) 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.

    \n' '

    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.

    \n' '

    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.

    \n' '

    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.

    \n' '

    The latest generation 12-metre BYD eBus includes an ' 'all-new emissions-reducing CO2\n' 'air conditioning system which elevates ' 'environmental-protection to yet another level. This ' 'substantiates BYD’s ongoing commitment to a creating a ' 'cleaner, better world.

BYD is the only electric bus ' 'manufacturer to develop a control system which integrates ' 'the battery, motor, motor controller and all the vehicle’s ' 'principle electronic components in one complete electric ' 'vehicle ecosystem.

    \n' '

    While pioneering vehicle electrification technology is at ' 'the heart of BYD’s new generation eBus, there has also been ' 'careful consideration applied to the interior and exterior ' 'design to produce a vehicle that pleases on every level, for ' 'passengers and drivers alike. The exterior is modern and ' 'dynamic, and the interior does not compromise on style ' 'either.

Passengers ' 'have a comfortable and visually pleasing environment in ' 'which to travel, creating the perfect ambience to make their ' 'journeys relaxing and pleasurable, while offering high ' 'levels of safety.

    \n' '

    Attention to detail extends to the driver space too. The ' 'BYD eBuses delivered to DB have a larger than average space ' 'around the driver’s seat with ample room for storing ' 'personal belongings.

    \n' '

    Michael Lechelt, Head of Operative Fleet Management, DB ' 'Regio Bus, speaking on behalf of Deutsche Bahn in Germany ' 'commented: “These are the first BYD vehicles in our fleet, ' 'and hopefully there will be more.

    René Wissink, Director of TDS, said: “TDS has already ' 'done a lot in the field of electric transport. This is an ' 'exciting development as we instantly become one of the major ' 'players in the market for emission-free distribution. The ' 'collaboration with strategic partner Bluekens EV is ' 'indispensable in this regard.”

    \n' '

    In the search for a solution for the goal of IKEA, TDS ' 'got in touch with Bluekens EV. BYD eTruck dealer, Bluekens ' 'EV based in Breda, are experts in emission-free city ' 'logistics and also fleet management solutions. René Wissink ' 'continued: “TDS would not have been able to take this step ' 'without Bluekens EV, being such a major name in the ' 'transport world. The organisation has enormous expertise in ' 'the field of electric transport and we have the assurance of ' 'aftersales and maintenance, all of which gives us a lot of ' 'confidence.”

    \n' '

    As well as this knowledge, Bluekens EV also offered TDS ' 'the advantage of a 360-degree sales and aftersales service ' 'plan. This is enhanced further with a range of added value ' 'services including charging infrastructure, fleet management ' 'and complete leasing solutions.

    \n' '

    A multitude of innovative features inherent to the BYD ' 'ETM6 eTrucks makes them the ideal zero-emission vehicles to ' 'fulfil environmental goals, while also being very safe, ' 'quiet and practical for operating in high density city ' 'centres. Powered by BYD Iron-Phosphate Battery technology, ' 'the BYD ETM6 zero-emission electric truck offers the longest ' 'driving range, 200 km with a full load, in the market within ' 'its 7.5 tonnes category, as well as extended battery life ' 'and high levels of safety.

    TDS is a joint venture of logistic service providers ' 'comprising Holwerda Transport, Transportbedrijf P.A. van ' 'Rooyen and Brakenhoff Transport. Wissink concluded: “There ' 'is an increasing need from the customer for electric ' 'transport, a trend which has been going on for some time. As ' 'a transporter, you automatically go along with such ' 'developments, but we always try to anticipate.”

    \n' '

    Gert-Jan Jonker, General Manager, Bluekens EV, said: “The ' 'BYD ETM6 is perfect for emission-free city logistics. ' 'Compared to most electric trucks, this model drives ' 'smoothly, has a long range for everyday use, a low TCO and ' 'fast charging technology. In addition, smart solutions for ' 'the charging infrastructure at TDS were considered in the ' 'preliminary phase. As a result, new charging facilities have ' 'been developed at one location, which will allow the surplus ' 'of solar energy from the solar panels to be used for ' 'charging. Bluekens EV also takes care of the fleet ' 'management, which supports TDS. It is our job to monitor the ' 'fleet, keep it running and provide insights into costs. The ' 'uptime of the vehicles should be as high as possible. In the ' 'event of a breakdown, we contact the driver and help him or ' 'her to get back on the road quickly. We initially try this ' 'by telephone, otherwise our technicians will quickly arrive ' 'on site to solve the problem.”

    BYD is very much ‘at home’ in Hungary, having chosen ' 'Komárom as the location to open its first manufacturing eBus ' 'facility in Europe back in 2017. BYD Electric Bus & ' 'Truck Hungary Kft. is primarily involved with eBus assembly ' 'operations and associated new energy products. BYD strongly ' 'believes in meaningful partnerships, supporting local ' 'economies through employment opportunities, and continues to ' 'invest in such initiatives, embracing its philosophy ‘made ' 'in Europe for Europe’.

      BYD pure electric buses ' 'operating in over 100 major European cities across 20 ' 'countries

      \n' '

      In Europe alone, BYD has delivered over 1800 electric ' 'buses, operating in over 100 major European cities across 20 ' 'countries, proving their practicality in all extremes of ' 'climatic conditions. Collectively, they have driven over 140 ' 'million kilometres, the equivalent to a reduction of 150,000 ' 'tonnes of CO2 emissions. Globally, BYD’s eBuses ' 'have covered 5.5 billion electric kilometres, reducing ' 'CO2 emissions by 3.8 million tonnes.

      \n' '

      BYD is firmly committed to its European and International ' '‘bus electrification’ strategies and localised operations, ' 'prioritising the value of collaborations with partners and ' 'suppliers around the world. BYD has experienced a presence ' 'in Europe for over a decade, initially making an impression ' 'as the first and only company to exhibit an electric bus at ' 'BusWorld in 2011. This marked the start of many successful ' 'working relationships with customers and supply partners, ' 'which have been instrumental to BYD becoming a leading ' 'supplier of eBuses in Europe.

      Made in Europe for Europe: Expansion to BYD eBus ' 'factory in Hungary

      \n' '

      Ongoing investment and expansion continue at BYD’s eBus ' 'factory in Hungary supporting its principle of ‘Made in ' 'Europe for Europe’. This expansion increases production ' 'capacity, with the annual output of a single shift rising to ' '400 electric buses to meet the ever-growing demand for BYD ' 'eBuses in Europe. The factory in Hungary facilitates the ' 'production of BYD’s complete eBus range, from the 8.7m midi ' 'bus to the 18m articulated model. It is from this facility ' 'where BYD also manufactures the chassis for single and ' 'double-decker eBuses destined for the UK market, with the ' 'capability of producing 300 units in a single shift.

      \n' '

      As they were required to be fully charged to stand a ' 'chance of completing a full shift without recharging, the ' 'charging area for the existing fleet of lead-acid battery ' 'powered trucks occupied a considerable amount of warehouse ' 'space.

      “The introduction of the BYDs has enabled us to change ' 'the way we run the warehouse. We have seen nearly a 35% ' 'reduction in cost per box sending the pallets out, that is ' 'together with the way we changed the warehouse – the BYDs ' 'were the catalyst for us to be able to do that.

      \n' '\n' '

      The introduction of BYD ' 'reach trucks to its warehouse has enabled Cottage Farms to ' 'reduce per-pallet storage and dispatch costs by almost ' '35%.

      \n' '

      “The experience with BYD has been excellent. The product ' 'itself is very, very good; we’ve had no issues with them and ' 'the service and support we have had from Stacatruc has also ' 'been very, very good.

      \n' '

      “I have an environmental want to progress the business, ' 'and also the way the business is seen from the outside. ' 'Environmentally, the batteries we now use are far better ' 'than lead-acid. I also have a want to reduce my carbon ' 'footprint. Both have been achieved by utilising BYD.”

      \n' '

      In conclusion, the switch from traditional gas and ' 'lead-acid battery material handling equipment to BYD ' 'Iron-Phosphate battery-powered trucks has delivered ' 'significant benefits to Cottage Farms, namely:

      \n' '
      • a smaller material handling fleet due to greater ' 'availability of equipment and longer ' 'up-time;
      • reduced charging times and need for fewer ' 'chargers, thus freeing-up valuable warehouse space for ' 'additional storage;
      • elimination of battery ' 'topping-up and changing, thus improving health & ' 'safety;
      • elimination of acid damage to the warehouse ' 'floor, as well as elimination of acid contamination in a ' 'food processing environment;
        • \n' '
      • significant environmental benefits, as BYD trucks are ' 'energy efficient and emission-free at the point of ' 'use.

' 'These savings will mean that the electric buses – which are ' 'more expensive to buy – will have breakeven point of five to ' 'six years. Since it is planned to keep them in service for ' 'up to 15 years this will provide the operator with an ' 'attractive return.

      \n' '

      \n' '

      \n' '

      The buses and their drivers have been praised by ' 'Friesland Provincial Governor Johannes Kramer. His comments ' 'were sparked both by the economics of the ebus fleet but ' 'also by their ability to keep running in the adverse weather ' 'conditions often encountered on Schiermonnikoog. Local ' 'newspapers last December pictured some of the buses ' 'operating across a flooded roadway in heavy seas in order to ' 'return island visitors to their ferry back home.

      \n' '

      \n' '

      Isbrand Ho, Managing Director of BYD Europe (based in ' 'Rotterdam) said: “The Schiermonnikoog operators has proven ' 'beyond doubt the effectiveness, reliability and efficiency ' 'of our ebus. The buses there have performed really well ' 'despite some harsh climatic conditions”.

      Pure electric taxis from the 50-strong fleet of Thriev, ' 'an advanced business offering its passengers 100% emission ' 'free transport, collected 20-20 VIPs from London airports ' 'and one of the pair of BYD 12m ebuses in service for over a ' 'year with Transport for London/Go-Ahead Group took delegates ' 'to the key event at City Hall.

      NEW YORK – Sep 28th, 2015 -- ' 'BYD’s Chairman Chuanfu Wang shared the stage with Chinese ' 'First Lady and other four countries’ authorities at the ' 'United Nation’s “Every Women Every Child” (EVEC) summit held ' 'on September 26th at UN Headquarters in New York. The “Every ' 'Women Every Child” conference goal was to establish a global ' 'strategy to address rising needs for Women, Children and ' 'Adolescent’s health care concerns worldwide. Chinese First ' 'Lady Peng Liyuan was invited to deliver a keynote speech. ' 'Many important authorities attended the conference to ' 'witness the commitment from BYD, including the President of ' 'the Republic of Malawi, H.E.

      As the only Chinese company to be invited to deliver a ' 'speech, BYD’s role in global sustainable development is ' 'perfectly aligned with EWEC’s mission. BYD pledged a ' 'long-term contribution not only with substantial funding ' 'through energy storage micro-grid solutions for health and ' 'educational facilities in areas most in need, but also with ' 'R&D resources, manpower and innovation.

      First Lady Peng Liyuan delivered a compelling speech in ' 'which she stressed the importance of improving women’s and ' 'children’s health and education to empower them to change ' 'their lives and ensure a better future. She has been very ' 'active in her commitment to UN humanitarian causes – ' 'attending 26 conferences and summits over the last 2 years – ' 'especially those on women’s and children’s health and ' 'education. Additionally, the United Nation Secretary-General ' 'Ban Ki-moon, and ministers from Canada and United Kingdom ' 'had delivered keynote speeches in the summit.

      BYD, the world's largest " "maker of pure electric, emissions free buses is 'honoured' " 'to have helped Amsterdam Schiphol Airport to achieve its ' "sustainability goals by providing Europe's largest fleet of " 'electric buses for its airside operations. This is also the ' 'first such fleet at an international airport ' 'worldwide.

      The fleet of 35 BYD ebuses is now in full service ' 'transporting passengers between their planes and the

      \n' '

      terminal buildings. This was marked yesterday by a ' 'special ceremony at the airport.

      \n' '

      \n' '

      \n' '

      Speaking there, Isbrand Ho, Managing Director of BYD ' 'Europe, said: "BYD is honoured to have played a key role in ' "helping Schiphol's airside transportation fleet to become " 'one of the greenest in world. This fleet of 35 BYD ebuses is ' 'at present the largest fleet of pure electric full size ' "buses operating in Europe, a fact that underlines Schiphol's " 'commitment to sustainability".

      \n' '

      \n' '
      \n' '

      \n' '

      \n' "

      BYD is by far the world's largest producer of pure " 'electric buses - more than 3,000 are in service with the ' 'mileage of a single bus already exceeding 287,000km. The ' 'company has a vision to enhance air quality by electrifying ' 'all aspects of road transport and airports.

      \n' '

      \n' '

      \n' '

      "With their massive reliance on diesel engined vehicles ' 'and ground support equipment, airports represent a great ' 'opportunity to clean up the air we breathe", said Mr Ho. "In ' 'fact this fleet means that ground transportation on the air ' 'side at Schiphol is completely clean now. The rail ' 'transportation to the airport is clean and taxi ' 'transportation is on the way to be becoming clean so the ' 'next step is to make bus transportation to the airport zero ' 'emission as well. We stand ready to work with the operators ' 'and government regulatory bodies".

      \n' '

      \n' '

      Mr Ho revealed that, since the Schiphol fleet entered ' 'service six months ago, the 35 ebuses have accumulated a ' 'total mileage of approximately 338,000 km with an average ' 'energy consumption of 1.2 kWh/km. They have saved ' 'approximately 312,000 kg of CO2 emissions1.

      \n' '

      \n' '

      Mr Jos Nijhuis, CEO of Schiphol Group, commented: ' '"European quality standards are high. Schiphol\'s are even ' "higher, where possible. We're only satisfied with the best " 'of the best. Simply because we think our passengers deserve ' 'the best of the best. That can occasionally place some ' 'challenges on the collaborative process. But the outcome has ' 'been good, and I\'d like to thank BYD for that".

      \n' '

      \n' '
      \n' '

      \n' '

      \n' '

      The ebuses in service at the airport have been ' "specifically tailored by BYD to meet Schiphol's " 'requirements. They have fewer battery packs than other ' "ebuses thanks to BYD's improving power density – this means " 'a good range can be maintained on a single charge while ' 'providing more space for passengers and their luggage. BYD ' 'also worked closely with the Schiphol authorities to select ' 'colours and materials which enhance the riding experience ' "for passengers.

      Schiphol's record breaking fleet will hold its title of " 'the largest electric bus fleet in Europe for only a few ' 'months: in mid 2016 a fleet of 51 BYD ebuses will start ' 'service with Transport for London but BYD is hoping that ' "Schiphol's lead will point the way for other international " 'airports keen to enhance their air quality.

      BYD UK, through its partnership with Alexander Dennis ' 'Ltd. (ADL), is supplying 28 BYD ADL Enviro 400EV double deck ' 'eBuses which, using smart technology, will provide ' 'bi-directional charging capable of feeding energy back to ' 'the power grid. The project represents a notable ' 'contribution from the bus sector towards the UK government’s ' 'commitment to deliver ‘net zero’ greenhouse gas emissions by ' '2050.

      \n' '

      With its world-class battery, motor and core technology ' 'expertise, BYD has been instrumental in the project from the ' 'outset by delivering a total eBus management solution. ' 'Alongside its partners, BYD has been responsible for ' 'installing the innovative new ‘Vehicle-2-Grid’ (V2G) ' 'infrastructure, and is the first company in the commercial ' 'vehicle sector to provide high-power discharge technology as ' 'a V2G capability for electric buses.

      \n' '

      The Bus2Grid consortium is led by energy provider SSE ' 'Enterprise in partnership with BYD UK, UK Power Networks and ' 'Leeds University. Funding for the project comes from the UK ' 'government through its delivery partner, Innovate UK. ' 'Further support comes from technology provider, Origami and ' 'Transport for London. This consortium has seen excellent ' 'cooperation between the automotive industry, the energy ' 'community and academia in bringing forth pioneering V2G ' 'technology into public transport. V2G enables stored energy ' 'on-board a BYD ADL eBus to be fed back into London’s power ' 'network. Vehicles are recharged overnight when energy demand ' 'is low, and tariffs cheaper, with electricity fed back to ' 'the grid when demand is high, thus helping to balance the ' 'network and increase efficiency.

      \n' '

      Go-Ahead London’s 28 V2G eBuses from BYD ADL will be part ' 'of a total fleet of 120 electric vehicles at what is set to ' 'become UK’s largest electric bus garage with overnight ' 'charging capability at Northumberland Park. While current ' 'COVID-19 lockdown restrictions prevent the setting of a ' 'specific ‘switch on’ date, the Bus2Grid project is ' 'nonetheless gearing-up for operations to commence in the ' 'summer 2021.

      \n' '

      BYD, in partnership with Alexander Dennis Ltd. (ADL), is ' 'also a leading player in the UK electric bus market. ADL is ' 'a subsidiary of leading independent global bus manufacturer, ' 'the NFI Group Inc. The 28 BYD ADL double decks for the ' 'Bus2Grid project are part of a larger fleet order from ' 'Go-Ahead London delivered in 2020 comprising 49 Enviro 400EV ' 'double decks. There are now in excess of 500 BYD ADL ' 'pure-electric buses either delivered or on order with ' 'operators across the UK, to date clocking-up over 16-million ' 'emission-free miles since 2015.

      “We share a vision with our project partners to deliver a ' 'cleaner, sustainable future,” said BYD UK Managing Director, ' 'Frank Thorpe, “we have a common goal to realise the full ' 'potential of eMobility. Soon, we will be actually generating ' 'energy for London’s power grid, as well as delivering safe, ' 'clean, emissions-free public transport to the nation’s ' 'capital. We’re very proud to be part of the project team and ' 'to be supporting Go-Ahead London as it begins the V2G ' 'project. This Bus2Grid project also has huge potential ' 'elsewhere in the UK,” he said, “it is a movable energy ' 'storage system with the capacity to deliver significant ' 'quantities of electricity to help balance a city’s power ' 'grid and optimise its energy management system.”

      \n' '

      Kevin Welstead, EV Sector Director for SSE Enterprise, ' 'said: “If we’re going to make real progress in decarbonising ' 'transport and hitting climate change targets, we need to ' 'optimise the existing flexibility within the energy ' 'system.”

      \n' '

      “Developing a charging infrastructure that operates in ' 'two directions so that batteries can give back as well as ' 'take from the grid is an important part of this. Delivering ' 'the Bus2Grid project is the next natural step in using smart ' 'technology to make bidirectional charging the reality for ' 'today’s bus users.”

      BYD’s new Blade Battery headlines the recently-revealed ' 'specification for the company’s new seven-seat 2021-model ' 'BYD Tang SUV – the first car powered by BYD’s latest battery ' 'technology for the Norwegian market. The BYD Tang completed ' 'a successful market introduction in Norway in 2020 with BYD ' 'confident that the new Blade Battery will provide a ' 'compelling motive for customers purchasing 2021-models. ' 'Production of the 2021 BYD Tang model for Norway will ' 'commence in the second quarter of 2021, with the first cars ' 'expected to hit Norwegian roads in late summer.

      New design takes Blade Battery to next ' 'level

      \n' '

      The revolutionary new Blade Battery offers new safety ' 'levels for the EV industry today. Following an exhaustive ' 'development programme, the Blade Battery returned truly ' 'impressive, class-leading test results; a stringent ' 'nail-penetration test confirmed the Blade Battery’s surface ' 'temperature reached a remarkably low 30º - 60º C while ' 'emitting no smoke or fire.

      \n' '

      Further tests subjected the Blade Battery to a 300º C ' 'furnace test and a 260% overcharging test, neither of which ' 'resulted in fire or explosive response. The results provide ' 'evidence that the Blade Battery dramatically out-performs ' 'traditional ternary lithium batteries and Lithium ' 'Iron-Phosphate technologies.

      \n' '

      The Blade Battery’s single-cell design boasts notably ' 'compact dimensions of just 96cm long, 9cm wide and 1.35cm ' 'high. These single cells are then placed in an array and ' 'inserted into a battery pack in a blade-type arrangement. ' 'BYD engineers have also decreased the cubic volume of the ' 'battery installation by 50%, thus creating additional space ' 'for vehicle stowage or other ancillary equipment.

      \n' '

      This compact design, coupled with class-leading safety ' 'credentials, offer a marked competitive edge for BYD and, ' 'moreover, a step-change for the entire EV industry.

      The implementation of ' 'hundreds of robots form the bedrock for efficient and stable ' 'production

      \n' '

      Top performance

      \n' '

      Aside from its clear safety advantages, BYD’s Blade ' 'Battery also delivers on power output. For longevity, the ' 'Blade Battery tops 1.2 million km after 3,000 cycles of ' 'charging / discharging, while headline performance figures ' 'for the Blade Battery-powered BYD Tang include a ' 'single-charge range of 505km (NEDC) and acceleration from ' '0-100 km/h in just 4.6-seconds. The BYD Tang’s Blade Battery ' 'installation recharges from 30% to 80% of full capacity in ' 'an impressively short 30-minutes, with DC power output of ' '110kW.

      \n' '

      The combination of safety, long life-cycle and extensive ' 'single-charge range capability, places the BYD Blade Battery ' 'in a class of its own.

      \n' '

      The Blade Battery is produced at BYD’s ultra-modern ' '‘intelligent’ production facility in Chongqing, China, where ' 'the 10 billion yuan (1.3 billion EU) site delivers an annual ' 'production capacity of 20GWh. Strict standards of ' 'cleanliness are matched only by those found in comparable ' 'LCD production facilities, with moisture levels precisely ' 'regulated alongside a constantly maintained temperature of ' '25º C.

We welcome today’s announcement by Scottish ' 'Government of additional funding to support the roll out of ' '46 new electric buses in Scotland.

      \n' '

      “This major investment will also provide a boost for ' 'Scotland’s world-leading bus manufacturing sector, helping ' 'to protect and grow jobs in Scotland. As major investment is ' 'made in zero and low emission buses, it also enables us to ' 'build further on developing in skills and training for our ' 'engineering teams to maintain the new greener fleet as we ' 'transition to new zero emission technologies.

      \n' '

      “As Scotland gears up to host the COP 26 climate change ' 'summit in November, it’s a crucial time for us all to think ' 'about how we can help deliver a greener recovery from ' 'Covid-19. Major investment in new zero-emission buses also ' 'needs to be matched by better road infrastructure and more ' 'bus priority measures to help encourage people to make the ' 'switch from car to sustainable public transport.”

      \n' '

      The award from Scottish Government also includes funding ' 'for electric infrastructure for depots. Stagecoach is ' 'partnering with Scottish-founded renewal energy company SSE ' 'to deliver the new electrical infrastructure needed in ' 'Aberdeen and Perth depots.

      Shenzhen, China — ' 'On April 8th, BYD ushered in a new milestone, as ' 'its Bahia SkyRail vehicle rolled off the production line in ' 'Shenzhen. The Bahia SkyRail, located in the city of ' 'Salvador, Bahia State, Brazil, is the world’s first SkyRail ' 'line to be partially built above the ' 'sea.

      \n' "

      The ceremony was held at BYD's global headquarters in " 'Shenzhen. Rui Costa, Governor of Bahia; João Leão, Vice ' 'Governor of Bahia; and Mrs. Shao Yingjun, Minister for ' 'Commercial Affairs of the Chinese Embassy, witnessed the ' 'ceremony online.

      \n' '

      Satisfied with the performance of the new model, Governor ' 'Rui Costa insisted that the VLT do Subúrbio symbolizes an ' 'important international partnership for the modernization of ' 'urban transport. “After placing Bahia as the second metro ' 'extension in Brazil, we now take a large step towards ' 'modernization with this modern vehicle that will replace a ' 'train that no longer met operating conditions,” commented ' 'Rui Costa.

      Stella Li, Executive Vice President of BYD Company ' 'Limited & President of BYD Motors Inc., said, “Today’s ' 'vehicles are specially tailored to the unique geographical ' 'and cultural environment of Salvador, the smooth and ' 'comfortable ride, humanized and intelligent design will ' 'bring passengers a more pleasant and convenient green travel ' 'experience. Brazil has embraced BYD’s green, zero-emission ' 'transport offerings across the board, including pure ' 'electric buses, trucks, taxis and the SkyRail, making the ' 'country the leading model for eco-friendly transport in ' 'Latin America. In the future, BYD will continue to work hard ' 'with its leading new energy technology and high-quality rail ' 'transit offerings to help cities around the world build ' 'low-carbon transportation and achieve sustainable ' 'development!”

      \n' '

      The Bahia SkyRail has been specially customized to meet ' 'local regulations and needs, as the world’s first SkyRail ' 'line built for an overseas market. The vehicle adopts a ' 'streamlined design, which reduces wind resistance while ' 'enhancing the overall aesthetics. Meanwhile, large, ' 'barrier-free doors enable passengers of all kinds to easily ' 'enter and exit, regardless of whether they are walking, in a ' 'wheelchair or pushing a baby stroller. The vehicles feature ' 'a walk-through train design to provide excellent ' 'accessibility, and the large windows on both sides offer ' 'expansive views for an enjoyable transit experience, while ' 'the air suspension system ensures that the vehicle runs ' 'quietly and smoothly.

      \n' '

      Additionally, SkyRail is equipped with a fully automatic ' 'operation system with cutting-edge train control technology ' 'and an intelligent customer service system, which realizes a ' 'high degree of train automation. It enables more precise ' 'operations control, resulting in higher reliability, safety, ' 'operational efficiency, and punctuality. Meanwhile, on-board ' 'PIS, CCTV, emergency intercom, and other systems serve ' 'passengers in real-time, ensuring a safe and convenient ' 'riding experience. The vehicles can also be flexibly grouped ' 'according to actual capacity needs.

      \n' '

      The Bahia SkyRail Line has 25 stations covering a total ' 'length of 23.3km. It will be connected with Bahia’s existing ' 'subway to form a comprehensive public transportation ' 'network.

      \n' '

      Due to various factors such as local topography, ' 'community structure, demolition costs, and passenger volume, ' 'the Bahia SkyRail was customized to adhere to several ' 'extremely stringent technical standards, all of which it ' 'met.

      \n' '

      SkyRail is a straddle-type monorail system developed by a ' 'dedicated 1,000-strong R&D team following five years of ' 'research and development worth 5 billion RMB, which aims to ' 'solve traffic congestion in cities. With a minimum turning ' 'radius of only 45 meters and able to climb gradients of 10%, ' 'SkyRail is well adapted to Salvador’s difficult terrain. ' 'What’s more, advanced autonomous driving technology together ' 'with a striking and futuristic appearance allows the SkyRail ' 'to seamlessly fit into modern urban environments.

      \n' '

      SkyRail’s unique technologies have overcome many of the ' 'difficulties of construction and operation in Bahia. For ' "example, the elevated tracks don't occupy valuable road " 'surface, meaning the space below them still can be rebuilt ' 'into pedestrianized areas, and their elevated position keeps ' 'them free from flooding, which has been a problem for the ' 'city’s existing rail network. Thanks to the integrated line ' 'monitoring system and the intelligent operations system, ' 'SkyRail can immediately identify risks, solve problems, and ' 'reduce manual workloads. Besides offering comfortable, ' 'low-carbon and efficient public transport for residents, the ' 'expectation is that SkyRail will also help attract new ' 'businesses and visitors to the area, aiding the government’s ' 'efforts to boost local tourism.

      \n' '


      The Bahia SkyRail will be ' 'partially built above the sea

      \n' '

      The SkyRail has already created a noticeable buzz among ' 'local citizens. As early as February 13, 2019, on the day of ' 'signing the contract, a large number of citizens held up a ' 'banner at the gate of the government of Bahia, which read ' '"very welcome VLT, thank you, governor", and yelled, "let\'s ' 'make it a reality together." Tyler Li, Country Manager of ' 'BYD Brazil, also said that when the SkyRail project team ' 'went to the local to inspect the progress of the project ' 'after half a year, the public recognized them at a glance ' 'and said hello cordially.

      \n' '


      On ' 'December 10, 2019, witnessed by Bahia Governor Rui Costa and ' 'Chinese Ambassador to Brazil Yang Wanming, BYD was granted ' 'permission to begin building Phase-I of the Bahia SkyRail ' 'project

      \n' '


      In ' 'the presence of Bruno Dauster, Former Secretary of the Civil ' 'House for Bahia State (back center); Tyler Li, Country ' 'Manager of BYD Brazil (front left); and José Eduardo Ribeiro ' 'Copello, Chairman of Bahia State Transport Company (CTB) ' '(front right) jointly signed the overall design ' 'contract

      \n' '

      On January 3, 2020, the state government approved the ' 'full preliminary design of the Bahia SkyRail. Bahia Governor ' 'Rui Costa said at the time, “SkyRail technology is very ' "advanced, and China's rail technology has far surpassed that " 'of other countries. I believe in Chinese technology."

      As a supplier to Keolis of 259 BYD buses under this ' 'concession, BYD is providing its products and services ' 'precisely as requested by Keolis and in an honest and ' 'transparent manner: electric, environmentally friendly buses ' 'that provide a high-quality public transport solution for ' 'the passengers in the region, and this is being done in a ' 'timely manner according to an agreed and committed delivery ' 'schedule, even in the context of the challenging ' 'circumstances faced in 2020.

      \n' '

      \n' '

      With the BYD electric bus fleet, the concession will ' 'become the largest CO2 reduction contributor ' 'amongst all current public transport concessions in the ' 'Netherlands and in Europe.

      \n' '

      \n' '

      It would be concerning, and BYD Europe would deeply ' 'regret, if indeed the concession were withdrawn. The BYD ' 'fleet would contribute immediately to the sustainability ' 'goals as prevailing in the Netherlands, and neither the ' 'passengers in the region nor the broader public should be ' 'adversely affected as a result of the withdrawal.

      \n' '

      \n' '

      The contract with Keolis is a landmark transaction in ' 'BYD’s business development in Europe since the start of its ' 'operations in the Netherlands 22 years ago. It is the ' 'consequence of BYD Europe’s continued strategic focus on the ' 'electrical bus market in the Netherlands and in Europe, ' 'where BYD already is the trusted partner for a significant ' 'number of concession holders.

      \n' '

      \n' '

      Since the start of its operations, BYD Europe has grown ' 'to employ more than 120 staff in the Netherlands and a ' 'further 300 employees operating in its production facilities ' 'in France and Hungary.

      \n' '

      \n' '

      With Rotterdam serving as its base for European ' 'operations, BYD Europe B.V. is part of the BYD Group; a ' 'Shenzhen based privately-owned company listed both in the ' 'Hong Kong and Shenzhen stock exchanges, having Berkshire ' 'Hathaway among its reference shareholders.

      International institute ' 'Sustainia has launched its top-10 list of best sustainable ' 'innovations for 2013 that will compete for the prestigious ' 'Sustainia Award later this year. BYD ebus has been selected ' 'as a 2013 finalist and was presented to business leaders ' 'from around the world at the UN business conference Leaders ' 'Summit in New York on September 19th. The 10 companies and ' 'projects have

      \n' '

      been selected for their potential to drive sustainable ' 'change in their communities and industries, and were chosen ' 'from among more than 1,000 projects submitted from 79 ' 'countries.

      BYD

      \n' '



      \n' '

      The ebus built by BYD is the first pure-electric bus in ' 'the world to be powered by an Iron-Phosphate battery. ' 'Hundreds of BYD ebuses are now in passenger carrying ' 'operations - by far the largest number of electric buses ' 'from any brand. The current BYD ebus measures 12 meters long ' 'and is designed with customer transport comfort in mind. The ' 'technically advanced and specially designed wheel-hub motor ' 'and its electronically controlled air suspension can offer ' 'customers a product with an exceptionally low floor, ' 'multiple door choices and ample floor space for easy ' 'passenger access.

      \n' '

      \n' '

      \n' '

      The imposing windscreen occupies two thirds of the ' 'frontal area of the bus for maximum viewing as well as ' 'safety. The bus body conveys an elegant exterior image, ' 'while the interior boasts an air of quality with adjustable ' 'driver’s seat, durable seats for passengers and carefully ' 'engineered sound insulation keeping the interior ride ' 'whisper quiet.

      \n' '



      \n' '

      BYD’s pure electric bus employs many advanced ' 'technologies developed in-house by BYD’s strong R&D ' 'team which includes 15,000 engineers. For example, the ' 'Iron-Phosphate battery or “Fe Battery” used on the BYD ebus ' 'is safe and non-polluting: the materials contained in the ' 'battery can be recycled or safely disposed of.

      \n' '



      \n' '

      Orders have been won so far in China, the Netherlands, ' 'Finland, Denmark, Uruguay, Canada and the United States. The ' 'BYD electric bus has also been successfully tested in many ' 'cities in Europe including Madrid, Barcelona, Budapest, ' 'Salzburg, etc. The accumulated mileage of the 220 electric ' 'buses operating in the city of Shenzhen (China) alone was ' 'nearly 20 million kilometers (or 12.4 million miles) by the ' 'end of August 2013.

      Public votes will determine Sustainia ' 'Award

      \n' '



      \n' '

      The Sustainia top-10 list of sustainable innovations are ' 'competing for this year’s Sustainia Award which chaired by ' 'former governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Joined ' 'by Chair of IPCC Dr. Rajendra K. Pachauri, former Prime ' 'Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland, and EU Commissioner Connie ' 'Hedegaard, Mr. Schwarzenegger will select the final winner ' 'of this international sustainability award to be presented ' 'at a major ceremony in Copenhagen, November 7th 2013.

      \n' '



      \n' '

      "The Top-10 Sustainia projects reflect innovative ' 'approaches that can lead to more sustainable industries. ' 'Hopefully, they will inspire more businesses to take green ' 'practicing to heart. It is not an easy choice to select one, ' 'but I’m looking

      \n' '

      forward to presenting a Sustainia Award winner in

      \n' '

      Copenhagen," says Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, chair of

      \n' '

      UN’s panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

      In Europe the BYD ebus has already been trailled in ' 'Paris, Bremen, Bonn, Madrid, Barcelona, Salzburg, Warsaw, ' 'Amsterdam, Brussels and Budapest with London about to begin.

      Two pure electric BYD ebuses ' 'were handed over to Transport for London yesterday in a ' 'ceremony involving the Mayor of London’s Environment ' 'spokesman, operator Go-Ahead and BYD.

      \n' '

      The buses will operate on two central London routes, ' 'number 507 and 521, the first in the UK capital to be ' 'serviced by fully electric, emissions free buses.

      \n' '

      \n' '
      \n' '

      \n' '

      \n' '

      The 12 metre BYD ebus has already been tested worldwide ' 'in major global cities, including in Europe: Paris, Bremen, ' 'Bonn, Madrid, Barcelona, Salzburg, Warsaw, Amsterdam, ' 'Brussels and Budapest. These trials have demonstrated that ' 'the range of the BYD ebus comfortably exceeds 250 kilometres ' 'on a single charge in real world urban conditions.

      \n' '


      This performance has also been proven in extensive ' 'operational experience in China where in the southern city ' 'of Shenzhen 220 ebuses have been in service since January ' '2011, covering in total more than 13 million miles of ' 'challenging passenger-carrying service by the end of October ' '2013. Challenging means carrying up to 120 passengers during ' 'rush hours with full air-conditioning in use.

      \n' '

      \n' '

      While the BYD ebus delivers zero emissions public ' 'transport it also offers bus operators tremendous operating ' 'cost savings. The energy consumption is around 130kWh/100km ' 'in urban conditions. The ebus battery takes 4 to 5 hours to ' 'recharge from totally exhausted at a cost of in the UK of ' 'only

      \n' '

      £19.44 (using off peak electricity – the buses will be ' 'recharged at night). This represents a saving of

      \n' '

      up to 75% of fuel cost compared to a diesel bus.

      \n' '

      \n' '

      \n' '
      \n' '

      \n' '


      The BYD Fe battery is designed for a life of more ' 'than 4,000 cycles – a cycle means from fully charged to ' 'discharged and back to charged. That means the battery life ' 'can exceed 10 years under normal operating ' 'conditions.

      \n' '

      \n' '

      BYD, one of the world’s largest makers of rechargeable ' 'batteries, employs 170,000 people, turned over £5 billion in ' '2012, is the fastest growing auto maker in China and is 10% ' 'owned by a subsidiary of Warren Buffett’s Berkeley Hathaway ' 'Corporation

      \n' '


      The company entered the automotive market only in ' '2003 yet has delivered over 2.5 million vehicles in the 10 ' 'years since then and has a range of EV products for the ' 'European market which already includes buses, taxis and fork ' 'lift trucks. Consumer cars – petrol, hybrid and fully ' 'electric - are not far behind.

      \n' '

      \n' '

      BYD has created its Green City Solution, which aims to ' 'electrify urban public transportation systems by ' 'transitioning from gasoline and diesel powered buses and ' 'taxis to pure electric ones. Besides electric vehicles, BYD ' 'also provides related services such as charging facilities, ' 'charging station monitoring systems and after-sales service, ' 'all as a one-stop-shop solution

      \n' '

      \n' '

      The Dutch island of Schiermonnikoog has converted its ' 'entire bus fleet to pure electric BYD ebuses

      \n' '

      and a fleet of 35 units has been ordered for Amsterdam’s ' 'Schiphol Airport.

      \n' '

      \n' '

      \n' '


      Matthew Pencharz, Senior Environment and Political ' 'Advisor to the Mayor of London, said: “The Mayor has made it ' 'a top priority to further reduce the environmental impact of ' "London's bus fleet. Alternative technologies, such as these " 'electric buses, will bring genuine long term benefits in ' 'tackling CO2 and PM emissions. The arrival of these pure ' 'electric buses compliments a whole range of measures the ' 'Mayor is supporting, including hybrid and hydrogen ' 'technology, which is already delivering improvements to air ' 'quality.”

      \n' '

      \n' '

      Mike Weston, TfL’s Director of Buses, said: “We will be ' 'closely monitoring the performance of these vehicles while ' 'they are being trialled here in London. Should the ' 'performance and reliability of these buses meet London’s ' 'challenging requirements, this could be a very important ' 'step towards adopting this new clean technology in the ' 'capital.”

      \n' '

      \n' '

      Isbrand Ho, Managing Director of BYD Europe, said: “We ' 'are convinced that widespread adoption of

      \n' '

      the BYD ebus could have a dramatic effect on lowering ' 'pollution levels in major cities so this development in ' 'London, one of the world’s top cities, is of tremendous ' 'importance. We look forward to a long and positive ' 'relationship with Transport for London and Go-Ahead and to ' 'further deliveries of our market leading products in London ' 'and other UK Cities”.

      BYD Europe Product ' 'Premiere 2022

      \n' '

      For BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu, who founded the company in ' '1995, the BYD European passenger market launch is one of the ' 'most important milestones to date. "Europe is the birthplace ' 'of the auto-industry and has a strong spirit of innovation. ' 'Europeans are making a concerted effort to accelerate the ' 'transformation of automobile electrification, with Europe ' 'representing the main driving market for the advancement of ' 'new energy vehicles. As such, we are pleased that BYD can ' 'now grow electric car adoption simultaneously with the local ' 'markets. We look forward to working together with respected ' 'European dealers and industry partners to create high-end ' 'quality products with green technology, and bring ' 'diversified choices and experiences to more ' "consumers.''

      \n" '

      Designed with European Customers in ' 'Mind

      \n' '

      While advanced technology underpins every BYD vehicle, ' 'attention to detail and cultural references are pivotal to ' "BYD's design ethos. BYD design merges thousands of years of " 'Chinese culture with modern European culture using the ' 'expressive Chinese dragon face for aesthetic inspiration for ' 'its passenger car range. This distinctive design language ' 'combines with stylish features and innovative technology to ' 'meet modern lifestyle expectations.

      \n' '

      BYD will start the European launch with three full ' 'electric vehicles. The spacious BYD ATTO 3 is designed with ' 'the European customer in mind and is the first SUV built on ' "BYD's advanced e-Platform 3.0. This C-segment SUV shows BYD " 'EV innovation (standard heat-pump) combining aesthetics, ' 'intelligence, and efficiency with an array of safety ' 'features including the Blade Battery. The interior is a ' 'truly digital, connected experience. BYD Global Designer ' 'Wolfgang Egger and his team created an expressive and fun ' 'design, with a touch of novelty. BYD ATTO 3 is, with its ' 'distinctive silhouette and alloy wheels, a real eye-catcher ' 'in its category. It is a versatile and appealing choice for ' 'many European consumers. BYD ATTO 3 has a 60.48 kWh battery ' 'and offers a reassuring 420 kilometre range (WLTP).

      \n' '

      BYD HAN is striking in appearance from every angle. The ' 'sleek and sporty sedan embodies style and premium finish ' 'inside and out, while offering an exhilarating driving ' 'performance and superb responsiveness. The BYD HAN has two ' 'electric motors, generating a true all-wheel-drive system ' 'for safety and handling. The combined power of the dual ' 'motor system delivers an impressive 380 kW or 516 horsepower ' 'with a 0-100km/h sprint time of just 3.9 seconds. The BYD ' 'HAN offers a high-tech, premium experience benefiting from ' "some of the EV industry's most advanced technologies, " 'including the revolutionary Blade Battery.

      Another product delivering a premium experience, yet this ' 'time with 7 seats, is BYD TANG. This large all-wheel drive ' 'vehicle has made an impressive entry into the competitive ' "electric SUV market segment since its launch in BYD's " 'pilot-market in Norway last year. The zero-emission 7-seater ' 'combines exciting performance with comfort, space, ' 'efficiency and safety. The BYD TANG delivers an all-round ' 'premium experience, complete with high specification as ' 'standard. Also the BYD TANG is equipped with the ultra-safe, ' 'state-of-the-art Blade Battery, designed for optimal safety, ' 'performance, durability and efficiency. Acceleration is ' 'exciting too, from 0-100km/hr in just 4.6 seconds.

      \n' '

      "The BYD design is expressive and emotional, as well as ' 'clean and relevant", says BYD Global Designer Wolfgang ' 'Egger. "Designing BYD HAN and BYD TANG we were inspired by ' 'the dragon face, a strong character in Chinese culture, and ' 'with BYD HAN, with the beauty of a European sports car. ' 'Furthermore, we strived to create a clean, 3D like, feeling ' 'with a classic edge. For the design of BYD ATTO 3 we wanted ' 'to create a very fresh, spacious and youthful feeling to ' 'attract young people and families. Once again with BYD ATTO ' '3 we were inspired by the Chinese dragon, which we call the ' 'Dragon Face Design language. Its distinctive moustache, the ' 'skin and the dragon eyes are all elements that are portrayed ' 'in BYD ATTO 3. Our inspiration for some of the interior ' 'elements we found in the gym and in music. For instance, the ' 'door handles, the armrests and fenders were inspired by ' 'barbells and different gym equipment. In the door panels we ' 'constructed strings and when you touch these they also sound ' 'like a guitar. Rather amusing, they also have a practical ' 'function for storage".

      BYD Expertise in Power Batteries and Pioneering ' 'Core Technology

      \n' "

      It is BYD's world-leading innovation in technology that " "is integral to BYD's electric passenger vehicles. Over the " 'past decades, BYD has focused on mastering advanced ' 'technologies spanning cobalt free BYD Iron-Phosphate ' 'batteries, electric motors, electronic control systems and ' 'automotive-grade chips.

      \n' '

      Emerging from this considerable research and development ' 'is the ground-breaking Blade Battery which is ' 'revolutionizing safety, durability and performance in the EV ' "industry. This works in close synergy with BYD's competency " 'in electric powertrain technology (BYD has developed an ' 'ultra-intelligent next-generation e-Platform 3.0) for the ' 'ultimate in system efficiency and integrated vehicle ' 'intelligence. Combined, this integrated technology has been ' 'developed to deliver optimum performance and a better ' 'driving experience. Notably, BYD owns the vertical supply ' 'chain of EVs for seamless integration and manufacturing ' 'control, including the production of semiconductors.

      \n' '

      BYD Offers 8-year Power Battery ' 'Warranty

      \n' '

      Michael Shu, General Manager and Managing Director, BYD ' 'Europe and International Cooperation Division, says: ' '"Technological innovation needs to be safe, reliable, ' 'comfortable, and accessible. This is what we are striving ' 'for. European customers have high demands on their mobility ' 'solutions and in view of this, we have prepared our market ' 'launch with care. BYD comes to Europe with a full range of ' 'new electric cars, that lives up to the high expectations of ' 'our customers.

Franchising is perhaps the best answer when trying to ' 'make bus companies more ecologically-minded and bring forward ' 'better and cleaner buses.

The COVID-19 pandemic has allowed us to look ' 'very carefully at what we can achieve through our bus network in ' 'the future.”\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'Robert Goodwill MP expanded upon these points, adding, “It is ' 'vital that we see improved public transport as central to ' 'revitalising our city centres as we emerge safely from the ' 'pandemic. I was very pleased to hear the Chancellor’s ' 'announcement earlier this year that there will be £5 billion of ' 'investment going into greener transport solutions because it will ' 'enable the bus sector to get more electric buses off the ' 'production line and onto our streets. We need to continue to ' 'develop greener solutions, and using buses to develop that ' 'technology is a fantastic way of doing it.”\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'Mary Creagh echoed these sentiments, saying, “We are now facing a ' 'profound moment in which we must act to reallocate road space to ' 'pedestrians, cyclists and public transport. We know that one ' 'double-decker bus takes 75 cars off the road, and if everyone ' 'switched one car journey per month to the bus, it would save two ' 'million tonnes of CO2 each year. Electric buses and other forms ' 'of public transport have a critical role to play in our economic ' 'recovery and the pursuit of lower emissions on our roads.”\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'Leading Public Transport Operator, Go-Ahead, was able to provide ' 'its view on how a bus franchising model could be rolled-out ' 'across the country, with input from Managing Director, John ' 'Trayner. He said, “We’re at the stage now where a nationwide ' 'roll-out is certainly up for debate, and I do think that the ' 'model is working well in London. I think that combination of ' 'regulated and unregulated approaches can work, but the challenge ' 'for us going forward is making sure we work with the right ' 'partners.”\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'The event also provided a platform for BYD once again to describe ' 'the many advantages of eMobility and its ability to deliver ' 'significant improvements in air quality. BYD Europe Managing ' 'Director, Isbrand Ho, said, “BYD is already delivering a ' 'significant number of electric buses to customers across the ' 'world, working closely with local governments, transport agencies ' 'and operators to help lower emissions and to satisfy their needs. ' 'We are always anticipating the requirements of our customers. For ' 'example, in response to the pandemic we immediately made ' 'available options to fully enclose the driver cab, provide hand ' 'sanitiser equipment, measure passengers’ temperatures and improve ' 'air filtration on our buses.”\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'Mr Ho continued: “In certain markets we work closely in the ' 'communities we serve. Here in the UK, for instance, ADL builds ' 'the bodies on our advanced electric vehicle underframe and ' 'electric drive. This combines our joint expertise and provides ' 'investment and local employment.”\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'Frank Thorpe, Managing Director of BYD UK, added his thoughts, ' 'remarking, “There are two main benefits from re-emerging from a ' 'situation as difficult as COVID-19 crisis with the green ' 'recovery. The first is that we will create a healthy environment ' 'for all of us. The second is that we will create prosperity, with ' 'a whole new generation of skills and a new set of resources.”\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'Mr Thorpe proceeded, “BYD delivers a truly unique solution ' 'incorporating all the core technologies of an electric vehicle. ' 'This is crucial here in the UK, where we have put over 400 eBuses ' 'into operation together with our partner ADL.\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'In order to emerge from the pandemic with a green recovery, we ' 'need to select the most efficient and viable solutions. That is, ' 'I believe, Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), as opposed to ' 'Hydrogen Electric Vehicles. Per kilowatt of energy generated, a ' 'BEV will deploy 70% of this energy to the road, compared to the ' '15-25% deployed by a Hydrogen vehicle”.\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'During the Webinar’s third session entitled ‘The Road to Net ' 'Zero,’ Polly Billington discussed the importance of improving air ' 'quality in the context of the Government’s ‘Building Back Better’ ' 'initiative, saying, “It is great to see so much consensus from ' 'today’s panel in relation to tackling air pollution. It is clear, ' 'though, that only so much can be done at a national level. Future ' 'policy needs to be designed by, and for, local communities. It is ' 'time for local authorities to be given the funding and the power ' 'they need.”\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'Natasha Patel went on to describe the future EV ‘bundle’ and how ' 'the EV landscape is shifting. She explained, “We are beginning to ' 'see some strong momentum building towards wider electric vehicle ' 'adoption. As this traction continues, there are a number of ' 'factors in the EV bundle that will need to be considered – for ' 'instance, how we consume energy and how we keep personal and ' 'business customer requirements central to EV proposition ' 'development.”\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'High-profile EV influencer and founder of Electric Vehicles ' 'Outlook, Roger Atkins, made an important contribution in the ' 'second of two panel sessions. He said: “There is no ' 'one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to EVs, but it is clear, ' 'now more than ever, that operators are discovering that electric ' 'buses are more reliable, vehicle downtime is reduced, servicing ' 'is quicker and on-road time is therefore increased”.\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' '“We are at a tipping point” he said – “EV volumes from cars, ' 'vans, light good vehicles and buses give us the economies of ' 'scale”.\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'Responding to a question about the barriers to mass-scale EV ' 'adoption among operators, Richard Harrington, Engineering ' 'Director at Go-Ahead, posited, “Economics has always been the ' 'missing link when it comes to whether or not electric buses are ' 'deemed viable. We are now seeing a tipping point for mass ' 'adoption of commercial EVs and that is being driven by economics. ' 'Now is the time to electrify – in a big way.”\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'Leon Daniels OBE concluded, “From today’s discussions it seems ' 'that zero emissions buses are a win, win, win. They are a win for ' 'air quality and public health; they are a win for the economies ' 'in our towns and cities; and they are a win for the environment. ' 'We only hold the earth for future generations, and that in itself ' 'is surely reason enough to get on with it.”\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' '####\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'Links:\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'https://www.leondaniels.co.uk\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'https://cambridgeshirepeterborough-ca.gov.uk/about-us/mayor/\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'https://www.robertgoodwill.co.uk\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'https://www.livingstreets.org.uk\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'https://www.uk100.org/author/polly-billington/\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'https://www.baringa.com/en/\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'https://www.electricvehiclesoutlook.com\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'https://www.go-ahead.com\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-pencharz-46793054/?originalSubdomain=uk\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'About BYD UK\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'BYD UK was established in London, UK in March 2013 and moved to ' 'Iver, Buckinghamshire, England in June 2018 to further develop ' 'its business.

She explained, “We are ' 'beginning to see some strong momentum building towards wider ' 'electric vehicle adoption. As this traction continues, there ' 'are a number of factors in the EV bundle that will need to ' 'be considered – for instance, how we consume energy and how ' 'we keep personal and business customer requirements central ' 'to EV proposition development.”

      \n' '

      High-profile EV influencer and founder of Electric ' 'Vehicles Outlook, Roger Atkins, made an important ' 'contribution in the second of two panel sessions. He said: ' '“There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to ' 'EVs, but it is clear, now more than ever, that operators are ' 'discovering that electric buses are more reliable, vehicle ' 'downtime is reduced, servicing is quicker and on-road time ' 'is therefore increased”.

      \n' '

      “We are at a tipping point” he said – “EV volumes from ' 'cars, vans, light good vehicles and buses give us the ' 'economies of scale”.

      \n' '

      Responding to a question about the barriers to mass-scale ' 'EV adoption among operators, Richard Harrington, Engineering ' 'Director at Go-Ahead, posited, “Economics has always been ' 'the missing link when it comes to whether or not electric ' 'buses are deemed viable. We are now seeing a tipping point ' 'for mass adoption of commercial EVs and that is being driven ' 'by economics. Now is the time to electrify – in a big ' 'way.”

      \n' '

      Leon Daniels OBE concluded, “From today’s discussions it ' 'seems that zero emissions buses are a win, win, win. They ' 'are a win for air quality and public health; they are a win ' 'for the economies in our towns and cities; and they are a ' 'win for the environment. We only hold the earth for future ' 'generations, and that in itself is surely reason enough to ' 'get on with it.”

      Alexander Dennis ' 'Limited (ADL) and BYD Europe jointly announced today that 32 ' 'electric double deck buses supplied by their electric ' 'vehicle partnership to bus operator Stagecoach have ' 'contributed to better air quality in Greater Manchester ' 'during the region’s pandemic lockdowns, with 600,000 zero ' 'emission miles operated to date.

      \n' '

      ADL is a subsidiary of leading independent global bus ' 'manufacturer NFI Group Inc. (NFI), while BYD is a global ' 'leader in batteries, energy management and electric ' 'mobility.

      BYD ADL Enviro400EV ' 'double decker for Stagecoach Manchester

      \n' '

      ADL and BYD supplied the 32 BYD ADL Enviro400EV to ' 'Stagecoach Manchester at the start of the year, with the ' 'operator’s own investment in the £16.5 million project ' 'supported by the Government’s Ultra Low Emission Bus Scheme. ' 'They are the UK’s largest fleet of zero-emission double deck ' 'buses outside the capital.

      \n' '

      The clean buses entered service on two high frequency ' 'services connecting Manchester city centre, Manchester ' 'Airport, five hospitals and two universities just before the ' 'coronavirus pandemic led to the first countrywide ' 'lockdown.

      \n' '

      Stagecoach continued to operate the vehicles throughout ' 'this period, deploying them on additional services whenever ' 'possible so that further parts of Greater Manchester could ' 'benefit from improved air quality thanks to the electric ' 'buses’ absence of tailpipe emissions. This operational ' 'flexibility has been enabled by the BYD ADL Enviro400EV’s ' 'significant range on a single charge, which allows all ' 'charging to take place in the depot.

      \n' '

      Stagecoach’s UK Managing Director, Carla Stockton-Jones ' 'comments: “Air pollution is the biggest environmental health ' 'risk we face today. As the operator of Britain’s biggest ' 'fleet of buses and coaches, we recognise we have a ' 'responsibility to play our part in delivering cleaner air. ' 'That’s why we’ve invested £1 billion in 7,000 new greener ' 'vehicles and technologies in the past decade, with the new ' 'Manchester buses representing one of Europe’s largest single ' 'investments in electric buses.”

      \n' '

      “The biggest way we can address air quality and climate ' 'change is not by just replacing one technology for another. ' 'It’s by fundamental changes in the way we live and behave. ' 'One of the biggest opportunities for our country as part of ' 'a strategy to build back better is to switch from cars to ' 'more sustainable and healthier public transport and active ' 'travel.”

      \n' '

      Paul Davies, President & Managing Director of ADL, ' 'says: “As the UK considers ways to recover from the impact ' 'of the coronavirus pandemic, we cannot lose sight of the ' 'effects that transport choices have on the twin challenges ' 'of the climate emergency and air pollution. It is more ' 'imperative than ever to ensure that buses are an attractive ' 'choice with high quality services underpinned by appropriate ' 'priority and infrastructure, and delivered with ' 'state-of-the-art low and zero emission buses built in this ' 'country.”

      \n' '

      Frank Thorpe, Managing Director of BYD (UK) Ltd., adds: ' '“It is very encouraging to see the collective investment ' 'from government, from Stagecoach and from the BYD ADL ' 'partnership making such a substantial contribution to the ' 'reduction of CO2\n' 'emissions. Our BYD ADL Enviro400EV is delivering long-term ' 'productivity benefits for Stagecoach,” he says, “and for ' 'passengers, the spacious new double deckers are providing ' 'safe, quiet and comfortable journeys in and around ' 'Manchester.”

      The heart of the ebus, common to all models, is BYD’s ' 'advanced Fe battery (lithium-iron phosphate), providing ' 'outstanding driving range – more than 250km in typical urban ' 'driving conditions – with total safety and security.

For the first time ever, the truck battery ' 'needs never be replaced over the life of the forklift. Typical ' 'charging time for a BYD Iron-Phosphate battery is just one to two ' 'hours – less than a quarter of the time required by lead-acid ' 'alternatives. Gone are the days when the only way to extend shift ' 'life was to have a second battery and some heavyweight battery ' 'changing equipment on hand, because the working hours of a BYD ' 'battery can be significantly extended at any time with a quick ' "'top-off' session – just 10 minutes’ charging while the lift " 'truck operator takes a coffee break, in fact, is all that is ' 'needed to extend working time up to 45 minutes. This quick full ' 'charging time and the ability to top up the charge in short ' 'bursts without damaging overall battery life makes the BYD ' 'Iron-Phosphate battery hugely flexible for end users.\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' "But charging isn't just extremely quick and flexible – it's also " 'highly cost-effective, since the BYD Fe battery consumes around ' '40% less electricity during charging/discharging than a standard ' 'lead-acid one. That means much lower energy bills for users of ' 'the technology as well as making a serious contribution to ' 'reducing carbon emissions. Talking of emissions, charging the BYD ' 'Iron-Phosphate battery is also much cleaner than alternative ' 'battery technologies, venting no hydrogen gases normal seen when ' 'lead-acid batteries are charging (and restricted to vented ' 'areas). That allows users to position their charging stations ' "right next to the drivers' rest areas without problems, making it " 'quick and easy for drivers to park and plug in reducing employee ' 'downtime walking from remote charging stations. It also helps to ' 'keep any risk of collision between pedestrians and other vehicles ' 'to a minimum. The Fe battery contributes to safety in other ways, ' "too: unlike some lithium-ion batteries, BYD's Iron-Phosphate " 'batteries do not present risks, even when dropped, crushed or ' 'subjected to overcharging. They do not contain heavy metals or ' 'acid, either, and so cannot contaminate ground or water supplies ' "as a lead-acid battery might, and they don't heat up during " 'charging the way that traditional lead-acid batteries do.\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' "BYD's revolutionary Fe battery technology also does completely " 'away with the need for daily and weekly battery maintenance, ' 'saving on the time and labour otherwise involved in frequent ' 'battery inspections and top-ups and, of course, on the expensive ' 'distilled water normally required. The upshot of all this is a ' 'very dramatic savings in operating costs: BYD has calculated that ' 'the annual operating and battery amortization cost savings when ' 'using an Iron-Phosphate battery in a single-shift, ' 'five-day-a–week lift truck operation could exceed €1,500 a year. ' 'The astonishing lifespan of a BYD Iron-Phosphate battery creates ' 'a further layer of savings, because even after 4,000 charging ' 'cycles, these amazing power cells retain over 75% of their ' 'original capacity. That means that after 8 years of dual-shift ' 'operation five days a week, the remaining capacity in the battery ' 'will exceed 75%. The life span of the BYD battery is much longer ' 'than that of a typical (four to six year) lifespan of an ordinary ' 'lead-acid battery.\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' 'That means a single BYD Iron-Phosphate battery could replace up ' 'to four traditional lead acid ones over 8-10 years in operations ' 'where daily battery changes were required for the latter – a ' 'savings in battery purchase costs over the period of over €10,000 ' 'for every lithium iron phosphate battery-equipped forklift in ' 'use. Little wonder, perhaps, that Javier Contijoch, Forklifts ' 'Director at BYD Europe, said he was expecting a massive level of ' 'interest in the new technology, both at CeMAT 2014 and in coming ' 'months, "Companies running lift trucks will be compelled to take ' 'a closer look at this technology," he predicted. “No fleet ' 'manager these days can afford to ignore the massive savings, in ' "both purchase and operating costs, of the BYD 'battery-for-life' " 'approach - or to pass up the opportunity of using such a clean, ' 'safe and sustainable source of power."\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' '\n' '"It\'s obvious that Iron-Phosphate battery technology is a ' "breakthrough in the forklift sector, and BYD, as the world's " 'biggest battery manufacturer, has now made future a modern-day ' 'reality with the new range of trucks being launched here today," ' 'added Contijoch.', 'content_html': '

' 'Gone are the days when the only way to extend shift life was ' 'to have a second battery and some heavyweight battery ' 'changing equipment on hand, because the working hours of a ' 'BYD battery can be significantly extended at any time with a ' "quick 'top-off' session – just 10 minutes’ charging while " 'the lift truck operator takes a coffee break, in fact, is ' 'all that is needed to extend working time up to 45 minutes. ' 'This quick full charging time and the ability to top up the ' 'charge in short bursts without damaging overall battery life ' 'makes the BYD Iron-Phosphate battery hugely flexible for end ' 'users.

      \n' '

      \n' "

      But charging isn't just extremely quick and flexible – " "it's also highly cost-effective, since the BYD Fe battery " 'consumes around 40% less electricity during ' 'charging/discharging than a standard lead-acid one. That ' 'means much lower energy bills for users of the technology as ' 'well as making a serious contribution to reducing carbon ' 'emissions. Talking of emissions, charging the BYD ' 'Iron-Phosphate battery is also much cleaner than alternative ' 'battery technologies, venting no hydrogen gases normal seen ' 'when lead-acid batteries are charging (and restricted to ' 'vented areas). That allows users to position their charging ' "stations right next to the drivers' rest areas without " 'problems, making it quick and easy for drivers to park and ' 'plug in reducing employee downtime walking from remote ' 'charging stations. It also helps to keep any risk of ' 'collision between pedestrians and other vehicles to a ' 'minimum. The Fe battery contributes to safety in other ways, ' "too: unlike some lithium-ion batteries, BYD's Iron-Phosphate " 'batteries do not present risks, even when dropped, crushed ' 'or subjected to overcharging. They do not contain heavy ' 'metals or acid, either, and so cannot contaminate ground or ' "water supplies as a lead-acid battery might, and they don't " 'heat up during charging the way that traditional lead-acid ' 'batteries do.

      \n' '

      \n' "

      BYD's revolutionary Fe battery technology also does " 'completely away with the need for daily and weekly battery ' 'maintenance, saving on the time and labour otherwise ' 'involved in frequent battery inspections and top-ups and, of ' 'course, on the expensive distilled water normally required. ' 'The upshot of all this is a very dramatic savings in ' 'operating costs: BYD has calculated that the annual ' 'operating and battery amortization cost savings when using ' 'an Iron-Phosphate battery in a single-shift, five-day-a–week ' 'lift truck operation could exceed €1,500 a year. The ' 'astonishing lifespan of a BYD Iron-Phosphate battery creates ' 'a further layer of savings, because even after 4,000 ' 'charging cycles, these amazing power cells retain over 75% ' 'of their original capacity. That means that after 8 years of ' 'dual-shift operation five days a week, the remaining ' 'capacity in the battery will exceed 75%. The life span of ' 'the BYD battery is much longer than that of a typical (four ' 'to six year) lifespan of an ordinary lead-acid ' 'battery.

      \n' '

      \n' '

      That means a single BYD Iron-Phosphate battery could ' 'replace up to four traditional lead acid ones over 8-10 ' 'years in operations where daily battery changes were ' 'required for the latter – a savings in battery purchase ' 'costs over the period of over €10,000 for every lithium iron ' 'phosphate battery-equipped forklift in use. Little wonder, ' 'perhaps, that Javier Contijoch, Forklifts Director at BYD ' 'Europe, said he was expecting a massive level of interest in ' 'the new technology, both at CeMAT 2014 and in coming months, ' '"Companies running lift trucks will be compelled to take a ' 'closer look at this technology," he predicted. “No fleet ' 'manager these days can afford to ignore the massive savings, ' 'in both purchase and operating costs, of the BYD ' "'battery-for-life' approach - or to pass up the opportunity " 'of using such a clean, safe and sustainable source of ' 'power."

      \n' '

      \n' '

      "It\'s obvious that Iron-Phosphate battery technology is ' 'a breakthrough in the forklift sector, and BYD, as the ' "world's biggest battery manufacturer, has now made future a " 'modern-day reality with the new range of trucks being ' 'launched here today," added Contijoch.

      Thirty four BYD e6 taxis have been delivered by BYD Auto, ' 'the fastest growing car maker in China. The company’s ' 'proposal won when the Brussels government asked for parties ' 'to operate fifty electric cabs. The use of these ' 'environmentally-friendly taxis is an important first step in ' 'bringing emission-free transport to Brussels’s roads, ' 'replacing petrol and diesel powered taxis with electric ' 'ones.

      Nobina becomes the first public transport operator in ' 'Europe to take delivery of BYD’s latest 15-metre, ' 'three-axle, low-entry eBus model. The vehicle offers a 47+3 ' 'seating capacity and a total passenger capacity in excess of ' '90. Latest generation BYD Iron Phosphate batteries deliver a ' 'single-charge range of 400km under SORT test conditions. ' 'Pre-heating for the entire saloon provides a more ' 'comfortable on-board climate for passengers and driver, ' 'while a full cabin-surround for the driver offers COVID-19 ' 'protection.

      \n' '

      119 BYD eBuses for Nobina further underscores BYD’s ' 'position as the Nordic region’s preferred supplier of ' 'electric buses, with over 500 vehicles either delivered or ' 'on order with public transport operators in over 20 towns ' 'and cities throughout Scandinavia. Collectively, the BYD ' 'vehicle parc in the Nordic region has clocked-up over ' '25-million electric kilometres, delivering an impressive ' '25,000-tonne reduction in CO2 emissions.

      \n' '

      Beginning their successful commercial relationship in ' '2015, Nobina has selected BYD for a number of its operations ' 'in Scandinavia. Today, Nobina operates over 200 BYD eBuses ' 'in towns and cities across Sweden, Norway and Finland. Most ' 'recently, BYD has supplied eBuses to Nobina for services in ' 'the town of Piteå in the north-east of Sweden where 13 BYD ' '12-metre models are delivering outstanding performance. ' 'Piteå is the most northerly location in Europe in which BYD ' 'eBuses have been deployed – close to the arctic circle at ' 'latitude 65.31º north – often experiencing sub-zero degree ' 'temperatures and freezing conditions.

      \n' '

      “Everyone at Nobina Finland is extremely excited to ' 'commence BYD eBus operations in the Turku area.” says Petri ' 'Auno, CEO, Nobina Oy. “Our route network is extensive, so a ' 'large number of passengers stand to benefit from the new ' 'vehicles and a more environmentally friendly method of ' 'public transport.”

      \n' '

      BYD Europe Managing Director, Isbrand Ho, adds, “This is ' 'another significant moment for BYD in the Nordic region, ' 'where the market clearly shows BYD as the preferred supplier ' 'of battery electric buses. Our special relationship with ' 'Nobina goes from strength-to-strength too,” he said, “and ' 'we’re thrilled to be sharing the fantastic landmark of ' 'Finland’s largest ever order for electric buses. Standing to ' 'gain most, however, will be BYD eBus passengers in and ' 'around Turku, and later this year in Helsinki – a new way to ' 'take local journeys and to help deliver a cleaner, more ' 'sustainable future for everyone.

      \n' '

      “Alongside Nobina,” he added, “we’re very keen to see the ' 'operational benefits of our a new higher-capacity 15-metre ' 'eBus. The new model is full of the latest innovations and ' 'proven BYD technology, and we are very confident it will ' 'deliver significant fleet-wide operational benefits.”

      Introducing the ultimate pure-electric ' 'all-rounder: the BYD Tang SUV

      \n' '

      The pure-electric all-wheel-drive BYD Tang SUV is the ' 'embodiment of the company’s expertise, experience and ' 'vision.

      \n' '

      The vehicle comes equipped with BYD’s revolutionary ' '86.4kWh Blade Battery, which boasts unparalleled technology, ' 'safety and performance. BYD’s Blade Battery charges from 30% ' 'to 80% in an impressively fast 30 minutes using a DC power ' 'output of 110kW.

' 'The BYD Tang SUV’s braking performance is equally ' 'impressive, with its Brembo front brakes and rear ventilated ' 'discs providing a braking distance of 36m from ' '100-0km/h.

      \n' '

      Style-wise, BYD’s international design team, led by the ' 'renowned designer Wolfgang Egger, has blended European ' 'design flair with Eastern heritage to create a powerful, ' 'dynamic-looking SUV. The BYD Tang SUV represents a new ' 'design era for BYD, combining beauty, emotion and ' '‘inspiration in nature’.

      \n' '

      On the inside, the BYD Tang SUV is as practical as it is ' 'stylish. With seven seats and cavernous 1,655L interior, the ' 'vehicle is equipped with a 12.8-inch rotatable touch screen, ' 'DIRAC Live function with 12 loudspeakers, 31-colour ambient ' 'lighting, premium ventilated leather seats with heating and ' 'position memory, and wireless phone charging ' 'capability.

      Working in partnership to exceed customer ' 'expectations

      \n' '

      BYD has a deserved reputation for exceeding customer ' 'expecations, and that extends far beyond its products. ' 'Working in partnership with the foremost Scandinavian ' 'distributor, RSA, the company is well positioned to deliver ' 'its customary high levels of sales, aftersales, parts and ' 'service support from RSA’s 43 established dealers in key ' 'areas across the country.

      \n' '

      As with all BYD products, quality and reliability are ' 'guaranteed, but for added peace of mind, customers can enjoy ' 'an extended warranty of eight years / 160,000km on the ' 'high-voltage Blade Battery.

      \n' '

      BYD’s expansion into the burgeoning European EV market ' 'could not come at a more important time, with decarbonistion ' 'at the forefront of political agendas and a growing demand ' 'from consumers for cleaner modes of transport.

      \n' '

      “We are extremely excited at the prospect of supporting ' 'BYD and its pure-electric strategy in Norway,” said Frank ' 'Dunvold, CEO of RSA, “We have one of the most ' 'well-established networks in the Nordic region, and our ' 'reputation for service and customer support is ' 'second-to-none. Our comprehensive network of dealers is our ' 'key strength – each fully focused on delivering the very ' 'highest levels of service back-up. The BYD marque represents ' 'a fantastic addition to our portfolio of leading car ' 'brands,” he said, “further underlining our position as one ' 'of Scandinavia’s leading car distributors.”

      \n' '

      Pere Brugal, BYD Europe Passenger Car Director, said, ' '“Officially welcoming the BYD Tang SUV into the Norwegian ' 'market and delivering the first units to customers marks an ' 'important step in European sales strategy. Our aim for this ' 'market is to always exceed customer expectations, to ' 'demonstrate that the BYD Auto brand is ‘customer connected’ ' 'and to expand into more customer segments”.

      \n' '

      Isbrand Ho, BYD Europe Managing Director, said, “What ' 'better place to begin our European dream than Norway – a ' 'market that has adopted electric vehicles like no other. ' 'BYD, like the Norwegian people, believes in a future with ' 'reduced CO2 emissions and better air quality for ' 'everyone. We are committed to delivering pure-electric, ' 'zero-emissions passenger vehicles into the European market,” ' 'he said, “and, of course, our customers can rest assured ' 'that our cars are at the cutting edge of technology and ' 'performance”.

      Coimbra, Portugal - BYD, the world’s leading manufacturer ' 'of New Energy Vehicles (NEV) and power batteries, has made a ' 'second significant delivery of pure-electric buses to the ' 'Coimbra Municipal Urban Transport Service (SMTUC) in ' 'Portugal. A further five 12-metre BYD eBuses were handed ' 'over to the Portuguese PTO, SMTUC, which was celebrated ' 'during a presentation to the public in Coimbra on 28th March ' '2022 in the presence of The Mayor of Coimbra, José Manuel ' 'Silva, and the Board of Directors of SMTUC, Ana Bastos, ' 'Carlos Lopes, and Miguel Fonseca, as well as Joaquin ' 'Bellido, eBus Director Iberia, BYD Europe.

      \n' '

      BYD has for several years been supporting SMTUC in ' 'implementing its environmental strategy, as it adopts ' 'zero-emission sustainable public transport solutions. SMTUC ' 'first added eight pure-electric BYD eBuses to its fleet in ' '2019. The BYD eBuses were commissioned for public bus ' 'services operating on a variety of urban routes in the ' 'Municipality of Coimbra in central Portugal. At the time, ' 'they were the very first full-sized electric buses to be ' 'introduced to the SMTUC fleet. The eight BYD eBuses have ' 'driven in excess of 700,000 km, saving over 760,000 kg ' 'CO2 emissions.

      \n' '

      This initial delivery was also momentous for BYD as its ' 'eBuses made their operational debut in Portugal. The ' 'successful integration of these clean, non-polluting ' 'pure-electric buses to the Municipality of Coimbra, as well ' 'as positive feedback from passengers about the service, were ' 'influencing factors in SMTUC placing a second order and ' 'subsequently, taking its most recent delivery of five ' '12-metre BYD eBuses.

      \n' '

      Coimbra is one of Portugal’s oldest cities dating back to ' 'Roman times, with many buildings and monuments of historical ' 'importance. The bus routes are notoriously challenging for ' 'vehicles in a city that relies on an efficient network of ' 'public transport services. BYD eBuses are proving an ideal ' 'zero-emission solution on a practical level, while also ' 'protecting the historic environment and improving the air ' 'quality for the people who live, work and visit the city. ' '

      \n' '

      The five newest BYD eBus additions will now join SMTUC’s ' 'existing fleet, further boosting its clean and safe ' 'pure-electric bus service in the city. Providing an ' 'efficient, reliable service along with a comfortable ' 'passenger experience, are also key priorities for SMTUC ' 'while simultaneously evolving its sustainable fleet to meet ' 'its environmental targets.

      \n' '

      The 12-metre BYD eBuses delivered to SMTUC feature the ' 'latest generation BYD Iron-Phosphate Battery technology for ' 'optimised battery life, safety and a longer driving range. ' 'The buses offer a driving range of 300 km on a single charge ' 'for a seamless service that does not have to be interrupted ' 'for intermediate charging. Each bus has capacity for 80 ' 'passengers and is designed to meet the needs of people with ' 'reduced mobility.

      \n' '

      This expertise and commitment to environmentally-friendly ' 'solutions in transportation has been fundamental to BYD ' 'achieving its global position as the world’s leading NEV ' 'manufacturer.

      \n' '

      BYD has delivered over 70,000 eBuses to customers ' 'worldwide, efficiently operating in both hot and cold ' 'climates. Over 2,500 BYD eBuses delivered or on order in ' 'Europe, in service in 100 European cities across 20 ' 'countries, including a growing number in the Iberian ' 'Perninusla. Collectively they have driven over 150 million ' 'kilometers, which represents a saving of 160,000 tonnes of ' 'CO2\n' 'emissions.

      • The ' 'order comprises 15 units of 13-metre BYD low-entry eBuses ' 'and 15 units of 15-metre BYD low-entry eBuses, and follows a ' 'previous order from Nobina for 70 eBuses last ' 'November
      • Delivery is planned ' 'for late 2022 in preparation for the buses to enter service ' 'in the capital region / Helsinki area
      \n' '

      Helsinki, Finland - BYD, the world’s ' 'leading NEV manufacturer, has recently been awarded another ' 'substantial order from Nobina in Finland for a total of 30 ' 'pure-electric buses. Nobina is the largest Public Transport ' 'Operator in the Nordic region, and this is the third ' 'significant order from Finland for zero-emission BYD ' 'eBuses.

      \n' '

      Nobina’s latest order is divided equally between two size ' 'variants within the range of BYD eBuses. It comprises 15 ' 'units of 13-metre BYD low-entry eBuses with a further 15 ' 'units in BYD’s 15-metre low-entry option. It follows swiftly ' 'on from the previous 70-unit order placed last year by ' 'Nobina Finland. This most recent 30-unit order is scheduled ' 'for delivery to Helsinki at the end of 2022, ready for ' 'Nobina to enter the buses into daily ' 'service.

      The latest 13-metre BYD ' 'low-entry eBuses

      \n' '

      BYD and Nobina have a well-established commercial ' 'relationship, which started in 2015. Today, Nobina has ' 'around 300 BYD eBuses either in service, or on order in ' 'towns and cities across Sweden, Norway and Finland. In ' 'August 2021, BYD completed its delivery of 119 eBuses to ' 'Nobina for operation in Helsinki and Turku, which ' 'represented Finland’s largest ever eBus order. This was the ' 'precursor to a further order from Nobina Finland for 70 ' 'latest generation BYD eBuses in November, and subsequently, ' 'this most recent order for 30 units, all destined for ' 'Helsinki.

      \n' '

      This latest order is a testament to the proven track ' 'record of the many BYD eBuses already in service for Nobina, ' 'a company that has a clearly defined strategy for ' 'sustainability in public transportation and renowned for its ' 'social and environmental ethics. The successful integration ' 'of BYD pure-electric buses into Nobina’s expanding ' 'eco-friendly fleet has led to these sizeable orders.

      \n' '

      Powered by new generation BYD Iron-Phosphate Battery ' 'technology, which provides optimised battery life and ' 'ultra-safe performance, the 13-metre BYD low-entry eBuses ' 'and 15-metre BYD low-entry eBuses can offer an impressive ' 'single charge driving range of up to 300km and 400km ' 'respectively. BYD eBuses are equipped with a Battery Thermal ' 'Management System to enhance reliability in all extremes of ' 'climate, making them the ideal choice for Nordic operations. ' 'Stylish inside and out, BYD eBuses utilise new and improved ' 'interior and exterior materials to make the eBuses even more ' 'aesthetically-pleasing, while providing a comfortable, safe ' 'and eco-friendly environment for passengers.

      \n' '
