Sky's the Limit

BYD forms teams for each project that include highly experienced design/build construction firms, and where applicable, equity investment partners. BYD and its teaming partners invest equity and assist in arranging long term financing for private/public partnership (P3) projects.

SkyRail is a fully integrated technology, where the guide beams both support and guide the vehicles, and the vehicles and system-wide elements fit together uniquely. Accordingly, BYD designs, manufactures and procures, and installs and tests, the vehicles as well as the train control and communications, traction power distribution, fare collection, and guideway switch systems, all under a fixed price contract.

BYD and our partners fully commit to meet or exceed requirements for DBE participation through proactive outreach and mentoring for specific and meaningful work performed by
minority, woman, and disabled veteran-owned business enterprises; as well as meeting or exceeding requirements for local and small business enterprise participation.

As evidenced by meeting or exceeding Buy America requirements with our battery-electric bus and truck production
program, BYD is committed to doing the same with our SkyRail production — by establishing a similar American supply chain and producing the rolling stock in the United States.
