BYD Electric Bus

BYD Lands Contract For 60 Electric Buses With Los Angeles County Metro

August 4th, 2017 by Steve Hanley

SNIPPET:


This story about BYD electric buses was first published on Gas2.

The City of Los Angeles is serious about its commitment to combating climate change. It is adding hundreds of electric cars to its municipal fleet and making plans that will allow low-income residents to dump their older cars with high emissions for cleaner cars.

It is promoting many miles of bike paths. And the Los Angeles county public transportation system, known as the Metro, has just inked a deal with BYD to buy 60 electric buses for its fleet.

BYD has its American headquarters in Los Angeles and operates a factory in nearby Lancaster, California.

The new contract will add 59 workers to the 600 strong BYD payroll. Most of the new hires will be residents of Los Angeles county, according to the terms of the deal. In all, the Metro will pay $138 million for the 60 BYD buses plus 35 60-foot-long electric buses from New Flyer of America Inc, which is located in Crookston, Minnesota.

Agelbert NOTE:
Those EV buses, when they get into the used vehicle market, will make an EXCELLENT Renewable Energy powered dwelling (with a few solar panels nearby, of course.  ;D).


See More cool graphics info on the New Flyer EV bus below:

Below please enjoy a present use for used buses that RE may like. I certainly do!  I think that used electric buses, with some solar panels nearby, would be the ultimate in sustainable, cosy but roomy, iving.  ;D
