BYD makes first ever delivery of Electric Buses in Ancona, Italy

by

Ancona, Italy – BYD, the world’s leading electric bus manufacturer, has made its debut delivery of two pure-electric Midi eBuses in Ancona, the capital of the Marche Region in Italy. The two eBuses will be operated by Conerobus, a principal Public Transport Operator of Municipality of Ancona, which will directly own one of the vehicles.

While being the first eBus order for BYD from Ancona, it is also the first ever ‘fully electric’ bus to operate in the Marche Region. This makes the delivery of two 30-foot Midi eBuses especially important for the people who live and travel in the region, paving the way for a cleaner, healthier environment delivered through a new energy vehicle footprint.

A presentation ceremony yesterday marked the official handover of the two eBuses in the historic Piazza Cavour close to the Palazzo del Polpolo, as part of a special event attended by local dignitaries from the Municipality of Ancona, along with senior executives from Conerobus and BYD Europe.

The Mayor of Ancona, Valeria Mancinelli was in attendance, joined by Ida Simonella, Councilor for Transport of the Municipality of Ancona, Stefano Foresi, Councillor for Democratic Participation of the Municipality of Ancona, and Muzio Papaveri, President and CEO of Conerobus.

Leading the speakers, the Mayor of Ancona, Valeria Mancinelli, commented: “The Administration places sustainability policies very high on our agenda. Progress is built over time and today we have achieved a positive step forward. Over the years we have developed a system that has provided us with increasingly green public transport. We have a series of projects that will allow us to further strengthen the sustainability of city mobility, while supporting modernisation and functional intermodality. These factors combined will lead to a healthier environment and provide an even better way of experiencing the city.”

Commissioning the two eBuses is the start of an exciting new era, supporting the ethics of Conerobus in its strategy to introduce non-polluting vehicles to its fleet, while offering customers high levels of comfort on their journeys.

One of the eBuses will be used in the busy seaport which serves the Adriatic Sea, primarily for tourist routes, while the other will be used in the bustling city centre of Ancona.

President and CEO of Conerobus, Muzio Papaveri said: “We have long been committed to building ever more sustainable public transport. The new electric vehicles  are just the latest in a series of initiatives enabling us to deliver a service devoted to innovation with low environmental impact. The new trolleybus and electric buses represent the final phase of a larger project focusing on energy transition.”

BYD’s Midibus has the capacity for 58 passengers providing a stylish and relaxing interior with ambient lighting and well-designed seating to make journeys a comfortable and pleasurable experience. Each has been designed to accommodate wheelchair access. Safety is a key feature of the eBus design. The BYD Battery Thermal Management System not only maximises battery life for extended range, but also provides optimum levels of safety. The compact design and manoeuvrability make BYD’s Midibus the perfect choice for navigating city centre environments.

BYD Europe Managing Director, Isbrand Ho said: “We are delighted that Ancona has taken delivery of its first electric buses. To know that BYD eBuses have been selected as the first fully electric buses for the Municipality of Ancona makes this even more special. Our eBuses have an ever-increasing presence in cities across Europe and this latest delivery to Ancona is a result of our close and long-established partnership with local Public Transport Operators and Authorities.”

Over 100 BYD eBuses are currently on order or in operation throughout Italy, providing a safe, reliable and environmentally clean service on intensive routes in the cities of Turin, Novara, Alessandria, Milan, Padua and Messina, and other smaller towns. In Italy alone, they have combined, travelled over 7 million kilometres, saving some 7,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions from equivalent diesel-powered vehicles.

New Leeds Park & Ride Launched with Five BYD ADL Enviro400EV Electric Double-Deckers

by

Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) and BYD UK jointly announced today that their electric vehicle partnership, the UK’s leading electric bus producer, has supplied five BYD ADL Enviro400EV zero emission double deck buses to the West Yorkshire Combined Authority and bus operator First Bus for the new Stourton Park & Ride service in Leeds.

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

The electric buses are owned and operated by First West Yorkshire under contract with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority who secured funding from the Department for Transport’s Ultra-Low Emission Bus Scheme.

Built in Yorkshire at ADL’s factory in Scarborough, each 10.8m long BYD ADL Enviro400EV offers up to 69 comfortable seats and has a range of up to 160 miles on a single charge of its cobalt-free BYD Iron-Phosphate Batteries.

The site at Stourton is the first solar-powered Park & Ride in the UK. It is also the third Park & Ride site in Leeds. The scheme is delivered in partnership with Connecting Leeds at Leeds City Council, West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) and First West Yorkshire, which operates the service.

Departing up to every 10 minutes, the new zero emission double deckers take less than 15 minutes to smoothly and quietly deliver motorists from the site at the M621 motorway to the heart of Leeds city centre.

Stourton Park & Ride boasts 45 solar panels that cover the size of 18 tennis courts and generate the capacity to power the entire site’s electrical needs via an innovative battery storage system. Other features of the new Park & Ride site include 26 fast electric vehicle charging ports and 4 rapid chargers totalling 30 EV charging spaces, secure bicycle storage and 1,200 vehicle spaces.

As well as using solar panels to generate electricity for lighting, electric vehicle charging, CCTV security and heat for the terminus building and waiting room, the design of the site has also considered opportunities to achieve benefits of nature. Over 11,000 trees and shrubs create an attractive environment for people using the facilities, walking or cycling, to enjoy.  The terminus building features a ‘green roof’, helping to reduce urban air temperatures and creating a habitat for wildlife.

Councillor Kim Groves, West Yorkshire Transport Committee Lead Member for Public Transport, said: “As the UK’s first solar-powered Park & Ride, Stourton is enhancing transport links in Leeds and West Yorkshire and making a positive impact on the local economy and businesses. The reduced commuting times and lower commuting costs are a major boost for people working in the city, in terms of both their wellbeing and their daily routines. And of course, Stourton Park & Ride is also making an important contribution to the Leeds City Region achieving a net zero carbon economy by 2038.”

Martin Hirst, Commercial Director of First West Yorkshire, said: “Stourton Park & Ride is growing in popularity since we began the service as people discover how easy it is to get in and out from the south side of Leeds. We expect this to continue as more customers see the benefits of time and money saved through sustainable travel which helps to reduce congestion and create cleaner air in the city. This demonstrates how, with fully electric buses, we are building on the continued success of Park & Ride in Leeds with our regional and local authority partners.”

ADL Sales Account Manager Marie Connell said: “It is an honour to supply our electric double deck buses for West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s landmark Stourton Park & Ride project. These not only provide a sustainable travel option for commuters and visitors to Leeds, but having been built in Scarborough, these have already benefitted Yorkshire through the skilled jobs and apprenticeships their production has supported, ensuring that the funding is re-invested into our communities.”

Frank Thorpe, Managing Director at BYD UK, added, “This latest delivery is an excellent example of a partnership approach to providing a ‘total’ solution. All stakeholders involved in the project shared a strong commitment to delivering a zero-emissions public transport solution, and to bring cleaner air quality to the region. Our combined effort will make a real difference,” he said, “offering safe, quiet, comfortable transport for Park & Ride users, and removing hundreds of CO2-emitting cars from the road every day – a better deal for everyone.”

BYD Announces Dealership Agreement with 1 Source Material Handling Inc.

by

LOS ANGELES, CALIF. (9/22/2021) – BYD Material Handling has entered into a dealership agreement with 1 Source Material Inc. expanding its presence into Southern California market.

1 Source Material Handling, in business since 2003, takes a consultative approach to find the optimal solution for each scenario their customers may have. The company, which had been searing for an Iron phosphate product to bring to market, choose BYD because of its fully vertically integrated solution and long history of quality.

“There are two things that are really exciting about BYD. The significant savings to our customers bottom lines and getting toxic fumes, acid, and lead out of the work environment,” said 1 Source President John Howard. “BYD’s commitment to support in the US is top notch. Our sales, parts, service, & rental teams are very impressed with the BYD support organization. This gives us the confidence to promote them as the best solution for our customer’s material handling needs.”

“Partnering with 1 Source Material Inc. will bring BYD’s clean, innovative technology to customers in into Southern California. This technology will improve their production and help their bottom line,” said Terry Rains, Director of BYD North America’s Forklift Division. “1 Source Material Inc. is an ideal partner for BYD, bringing a strong focus on customer service and years of industry experience.”

BYD’s material handling equipment simplifies operations by delivering a single-battery multi-shift solution. Spare batteries, cooling down batteries, and battery swapping are a thing of the past.  BYD forklifts charge to full in under 90 minutes and run for up to 15-plus hours. When using opportunity charging, on breaks and downtime, your operation can truly run for 24 hours without thinking about batteries.

Unlike Lead-Acid batteries, and some “drop-in” lithium-ion batteries, BYD’s Iron Phosphate batteries feature high energy density while remaining environmentally friendly. There is no need for special ventilation requirements, watering infrastructure, or corrosion control.

As a first in the industry, BYD also offers a 110v / 15-amp plug-in charger capable of recharging its Iron Phosphate batteries. Because the Iron-Phosphate battery handles opportunity charging easily, you can even plug it in like you would your cell phone.

The BYD Tang comes equipped with all-wheel-drive as standard to provide great performance and safety in all weather conditions.

The BYD Tang has been styled by the world-renowned European car designer, Wolfgang Egger, to create a vehicle that encompasses the needs of a discerning modern family. Featuring sleek and sporting lines, the Tang presents a high tech, premium, and spacious interior blended with both comfort and functionality.

“BYD’s pursuit of the ‘European dream’ continues at a strategically important time when the sales of NEVs begin to surge in key markets across Europe. The timing couldn’t be more perfect,” commented Isbrand Ho, BYD Europe Managing Director. “We are delighted with the feedback we have been receiving following the launch of the Tang SUV in Norway, and this is just the start of our European journey. We strive to surpass customer expectations and the Tang is certainly achieving this. Customer satisfaction is, and always will be, our priority and we are dedicated to delivering an excellent service.”

On a global level, BYD is one of the first manufacturers to produce one million new energy vehicles. BYD NEV sales ranked among the top 3 according to EV sales data from January to July 2021, and based on NEV sales in July alone, BYD returned to its top-ranking position. Four consecutive months of surging sales records underpin BYD’s successful strategic deployment and the widespread acceptance of its products in the market.

With a presence in more than 300 cities across 50 countries and regions, BYD is striving to electrify all urban public transportation systems, to contribute to building low-carbon cities and bring a low-carbon lifestyle to people.

BYD Launches e-Platform 3.0 with the New Concept Car Ocean-X

by

Shenzhen, China – On September 8, BYD officially launched the e-platform 3.0 for pure electric vehicles. With outstanding advantages in intelligence, efficiency, safety, and aesthetics, the e-platform 3.0 aims to promote new energy vehicle’s (NEVs’) performance in safety and low-temperature driving range as well as improving intelligent driving experiences. The e-platform 3.0 will help BYD develop more efficient and safer new intelligent electric vehicles (EVs). The new-generation BYD e-platform covers vehicles of varying sizes and will be open to the industry to facilitate the development of intelligent EVs worldwide.

Built upon the e-platform 3.0, the unveiled Ocean-X concept is a mid-size sporty sedan with high performance. The Ocean-X brings brand new experiences in performance and intelligent driving thanks to the fully integrated blade batteries in the car body, an 8-in-1 electric powertrain, and an all-wheel-drive architecture.

 

Wang Chuanfu, Chairman and President of BYD, said that the e-platform 3.0 is the cradle for the next generation of EVs.

Equipped with ultra-safe blade batteries integrated into the car body, the e-platform 3.0 builds up a special pure electric vehicle frame structure to increase the rigidity of the vehicle.

The new platform enables ranges exceeding 1,000 km (620 miles) through the world’s first 8-in-1 electric powertrain. In addition, the world’s first fast charging technology enables a range up to 150 km (93 miles) after a 5-minute charging. The original designed direct cooling and heating system for batteries increases the thermal efficiency by up to 20% while reducing energy loss. Additionally, the heat pump system which can work at temperatures from -30℃ to 60℃, has increased the range by up to 20% in winter, since the system leverages the residual heat from surroundings, the powertrain, passenger compartment and even the batteries. Finally, the brand-new electric AWD system features 0-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration improved to 2.9 seconds, resulting in energy consumption compared to that of 2WD vehicles, while letting users enjoy the high performance of AWD EVs.

Ocean-X, a mid-size concept car which is built based on the e-platform 3.0, excels in safety, range, charging, intelligence, and design, making it a more efficient and safer intelligent EV for the next generation.

The e-platform 3.0 deeply integrated the drive, braking, and steering system. The industry’s first drive train domain controller has been developed through the full utilization of the electric motors’ fast response and has been applied on the model EA1. BYD’s smart cockpit domain controller and smart body domain controller are already in mass production. As for software, BYD has independently developed the BYD OS which decouples hardware and software, offering an elite collaboration system for high levels of intelligent driving.

On the side of aesthetics, the vehicle features shorter overhangs and a longer wheelbase, significantly expanding the passenger space; a lower body and a longer wheelbase liberate the vehicle’s aerodynamic design, decreasing the drag coefficient to 0.21Cd.
