Vy Buss, part of Norway’s Vy Group, has taken delivery of its first 15 pure-electric, emissions-free eBuses from BYD. The company now has nearly 1,300 eBuses either delivered, or, on order across Europe.
This is BYD Europe’s first delivery of BYD’s Class II buses. The 13-meter (40-foot) model includes an upgraded battery for extended range. The 18-meter (60-foot) articulated eBus offers operational flexibility where public transport is in high demand.
