BUS: BYD electric bus provides 30-h service on single charge

摘要

BYD Motors and the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) recently announced some findings from a two-month pilot test on a 40-ft (12-m) BYD battery-electric bus conducted in Manhattan from Aug. 25 to Oct. 25, 2013. "The general purpose of the program was to evaluate how an electric bus could perform in New York City's heavy traffic, whether the electric bus can meet the twin challenges of operating in the stop-and-go traffic of Manhattan while maintaining high levels of passenger comfort and operational performance," MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz said in a statement.
