BYD is showcasing its new all-electric bus, the BD11, at Euro Bus Expo 2024.
The 10.9 metre double decker bus is powered solely by BYD’s own Blade Battery technology, with a capacity of up to 532 kWh.
The vehicle incorporates BYD’s 6-in-1 Integrated Controller with Silicon Carbide technology, which combines 6 key electric elements in one plug and play formation, including 2 electric motor control units, 1 steering control unit, 1 air compressor controller, 1 DC-DC converter and 1 power distributor unit.
Capable of carrying up to 90 passengers, the vehicle also comes equipped with two 150kW wheel hub hairpin motors, an Integrated Thermal Management System and BYD’s own Active Suspension Control System.
Other customisation options include onboard Wi-Fi, charging points and an integrated HVAC system.
The bus also includes four priority seats onboard, as well as space for wheelchair users on the lower deck, and is set to enter operation on London routes in the near future.
