BYD to supply electric buses to Brazil

BYD is to supply 12 electric articulated buses to São José dos Campos, in São Paulo state, Brazil.

For the city’s new Green Line Project corridor, all the buses are scheduled to be delivered in the next 18 months. The 12 units of 22-meter-long articulated buses will be manufactured by BYD in its facility in Campinas, which produces the electric bus chassis sold in the country. The plant installed in Campinas in 2015 has an annual production capacity of 720 chassis and could be doubled the capacity according to the production plan.
