BYD Akan Memenuhi Pesanan Bas Elektrik Terbesar di UK

BYD dipilih untuk memenuhi pesanan bas elektrik terbesar di UK oleh RATP Dev London.

Kali berikutnya anda pergi ke London untuk melawat The Queen (tentu saja selepas wabak berakhir), perhatikan bas-bas yang anda temui – mereka mungkin dari BYD.

Syarikat kenderaan elektrik China ini telah dipilih untuk memenuhi pesanan bas elektrik terbesar dalam sejarah UK. Salah satu pengendali bas Transport for London, RATP Dev London, telah memesan 195 bas elektrik satu dan dua tingkat dari BYD minggu ini.

Dorongan untuk elektrifikasi sistem pengangkutan awam London dimulakan pada tahun 2018. Menjelang tahun 2037, bandar ini berharap agar 100% pengangkutan awamnya tidak menghasilkan pelepasan tempatan. Negara dan bandar Eropah yang lain juga melakukan peralihan ini ke arah pengangkutan awam elektrik.

BYD akan menghasilkan bas ini dengan Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL), yang akan membina badan bas di UK itu sendiri. Seperti sekarang, London sudah mempunyai sekitar 400 bas elektrik dari BYD dan ADL yang beroperasi. 300 lagi sedang dalam pesanan, termasuk yang terbaharu ini.

Ini siaran media BYD dengan lebih maklumat.

MEDIA RELEASE

BYD UK and Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) jointly confirmed today that their electric vehicle partnership, the UK’s leading electric bus producer, will deliver the UK’s largest ever electric bus order. The order has been placed by RATP Dev London, one of Transport for London (TfL)’s principal bus operators, for a total of 195 single and double deck vehicles. 

With this order, RATP Dev London confirms its commitment to supporting TfL’s electrification plan for London’s bus network, a key objective of the Mayor’s Transport Strategy for 2018, under which all TfL buses will be zero emissions by 2037, with all of London’s transport becoming emissions free by 2037.

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

The record order comes as the BYD ADL partnership continues to go from strength to strength, just five years after it was launched, thanks to its proven combination of BYD’s world-class battery electric driveline technology and ADL’s British-built bodies, which can be fully customised to reflect operating requirements. In London alone, over 400 BYD ADL electric buses have cumulatively covered over 20 million zero-emission miles, with close to another 300 vehicles on order including this latest intake for RATP Dev London. RATP Dev London will be the largest operator of electric buses in London by the beginning of 2022, with close to 25% of its London United and London Sovereign fleet fully electric. 

Deliveries of RATP Dev London’s latest BYD ADL fleet will begin in the summer. 68 BYD ADL Enviro200EV single decks – including 21 compact 10.2-metre models – and 127 BYD ADL Enviro400EV double decks will be based at RATP Dev London’s Fulwell, Harrow and Shepherd’s Bush depots to serve routes in the west of the capital. The buses will join 36 existing BYD ADL single decks in service since 2018 and 29 BYD ADL double decks delivered last year. Feedback from RATP Dev London on these in-service vehicles has been very positive, with the double deck BYD ADL Enviro400EV in particular delivering exceptional reliability on 24-hour route operations.
