CHINA’S BYD (for Build Your own Dream) has delivered six electric
buses to Schiermonnikoog, which forms part of the Netherlands.
Schiermonnikoog is an
island, a municipality and a national park in the northern province of
Friesland.
The vehicles were
awarded last June in Europe’s first publicly tendered order for electric-powered
full-size buses and are planned to provide visitors and residents with an
environmentally friendly public-transport system for the next 15 years. BYD’s
12-metre long bus has a proven distance of 250 km on a single charge in urban
conditions.
The core technology of
BYD electric buses is BYD’s self-developed iron-phosphate battery technology
boasting the highest safety, longest service life and most environmentally
friendly rechargeable chemistry.
It also contains no
heavy metals or toxic electrolytes.
