BYD boasts the world’s largest selection of battery electric buses and a clientele that spans across 300 cities around the world.
BYD Produces 50,000 Electric Bus in 9 years
New energy technology company BYD proudly announced on 18th January the production of its 50,000th pure electric bus, nine years since production began. The milestone follows the departure of a K9UB 12-metre pure electric bus for Spain from BYD‘s Hangzhou testing facility.
BYD boasts the world’s largest selection of battery electric buses and a clientele that spans across 300 cities around the world. The K9UB pure electric bus that was exported to Spain features an all-new styling, with a capacity for 80 passengers. As Spain’s largest 12-metre pure electric bus, this bus would be operated by local operator TUBASA and is expected to enter service in Badajoz, a city in southwestern Spain this spring.
BYD entered Spain’s electric bus sector in 2017 and currently has orders from various cities such as Valencia, Saint Cugat, Badalona and Badajoz. To date, BYD is the only Chinese company to enter the Spanish electric bus market successfully.
“Our track record demonstrates a clear market recognition of and trust in BYD products,” said Wang Chuanfu, President and Chairman of BYD Company Limited. “BYD has set a ‘Gold Standard’ for the pure electric bus market because of its rock-solid product quality, a complete supply chain and product solutions, and leading core technologies in areas such as batteries, motors and electronic controls. This is a thumb’s up for not only China’s electric vehicle industry but the world’s.”
Ever since the first K9 pure electric bus was produced in Changsha in 2010, BYD has actively advocated the adoption of new energy vehicles. In 2010, to ease environmental pollution, BYD proposed its ‘Public Transportation Electrification’ strategy. Shenzhen’s hosting of the 26th Summer Universiade in 2011 was a turning point as 200 BYD K9 pure electric buses entered operations in the city. That event saw BYD become the world’s first company to commercialise new energy buses.
Today, BYD pure electric buses are not only commonplace in major Chinese cities like Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Changsha and Xian, but have also spread to medium- to small-sized cities in the country. In addition, BYD has gradually grown its international customer base for pure electric buses since the first batch of 35 electric buses was exported to Amsterdam Schiphol airport in 2013. These include transport for London, Los Angeles Public Transport Co, Sydney Airport, Stanford University and Facebook.
比亚迪生产第5万辆全电动巴士
新能源科技公司比亚迪于1月18日宣布，它如今已生产了第50，000辆全电动巴士。第一辆K9纯电动公交车是在9年前（2010年）生产的。第5万辆是西班牙的K9UB 12米巴士，于2019年1月18日离开比亚迪的杭州测试基地。
比亚迪拥有世界上最多款的电动巴士，客户遍布全球300个城市。出口到西班牙的K9UB纯电动巴士采用全新造型，可容纳80名乘客。作为西班牙最大的12米纯电动巴士，这辆巴士由当地运营商TUBASA运营，并将于今年春季在西班牙西南部的巴达霍斯运行。
比亚迪于2017年进入西班牙电动巴士行业，目前已收到来自瓦伦西亚（Valencia）、圣库加特 （Saint Cugart） ，巴达洛纳 （Badalona） 和巴达霍斯（Badajoz）等多个城市的订单。迄今为止，比亚迪是唯一一家成功进入西班牙电动巴士市场的中国公司。
比亚迪股份有限公司总裁兼董事长王传福说：“我们的销量记录显示了全球市场对比亚迪产品的认可和信任。比亚迪凭借其坚如磐石的产品质量，完整的供应链和产品解决方案以及电池，电机和电子控制等领域的领先核心技术，为纯电动巴士市场树立了‘黄金标准’。这不仅是中国电动汽车产业的缩影，也是世界的缩影。”
“自2010年第一辆K9纯电动巴士在长沙生产以来，比亚迪一直积极倡导采用新能源汽车。2010年，为了缓解环境污染，比亚迪提出了“公共交通电气化”战略。随着深圳举办的第26届夏季大运会在2011年迎来了一个转折点，200辆比亚迪K9纯电动客车进入该市运营。这一事件使比亚迪成为世界上第一家将新能源客车商业化的公司。”
如今，比亚迪纯电动巴士不仅在北京、广州、深圳、天津、杭州、南京、长沙、西安等中国主要城市普及，而且还传播到全中国其他中小城市。此外，自2013年第一批35辆电动公交车出口到阿姆斯特丹史基浦机场以来，比亚迪也逐渐扩大了其纯电动巴士的国际客户群。其中包括伦敦交通局、洛杉矶公共交通公司、悉尼机场、斯坦福大学和脸书（Facebook）。
