23 May 2024|254 views
LEVC may have electrified the iconic London Black Cab, but now BYD looks set to electrify the capital's double decker bus.
Called the BYD BD11, the new electric bus was unveiled at the London Bus Museum. The BYD BD11 is said to have been designed specifically for London, and is set to commence operations in the U.K. shortly.
The bus makes use of the firm's Blade Battery technology, here delivering a total capacity of 532kWh. This battery also supports dual-gun and pantograph charging, at a speed of up to 500kW, allowing the bus to be recharged from flat to full in just two hours. It can ferry a maximum of 90 passengers. BYD states that this battery has been integrated into the chassis of the bus, allowing for weight savings alongside increased stability and manoeuvrability, and maximising interior space for passengers.
BYD states that there are currently over 1,800 eBuses plying the U.K.'s roads.
