ully electric double-decker
bus with new compact battery to launch in autumn, as London prepares for ultra-low
emission zone, reports China Daily.
For years, London’s red double-decker buses have dominated
the capital, where nearly 1,000 routes are operated by 8,700 buses, many of
them double-deckers. Although there has been a gradual move to hybrid vehicles,
many are still diesel-powered.
This will all change in October, when the world’s first pure
electric zero-emission double-decker bus, designed and built by Chinese
automotive manufacturer BYD, will enter service in London.
The electric double-decker bus represents a technology
breakthrough in public transportation, said Isbrand Ho, managing director of
BYD Auto Europe.
