BYD Introduces Two eBus Innovations at Busworld

BYD introduced two new eBus innovations at Busworld 2023. The BYD 40-foot B12 eBus brings a new generation of integrated chassis technology to public transport operators in Europe. And, making its world premiere at the BYD stand, was the 45-foot customizable pure-electric intercity double-decker coach—the BYD-UNVI DD13—a collaboration between BYD brand and European coach bodybuild specialist, UNVI. These new buses join two established BYD models: the BYD eBus B19 (60-foot) and the 50-foot BYD eBus B15.

The all-new pure-electric bus chassis which integrates the ultra-safe Lithium Iron Phosphate Blade Battery within the chassis structure. This Blade Battery Chassis technology also utilizes a new 6-in-1 controller with Silicon Carbide technology, together with two innovative wheel hub hairpin motors.

The Blade Battery, with a maximum capacity of 500kWh, delivers an exceptional range in one charge reducing the need for regular charging, making the BYD eBus B12suitable for busy bus routes.
