BYD secures Israel’s largest ever electric bus order

BYD, the world’s leading electric bus manufacturer, has been successful in winning the majority share of Israel’s largest ever electric bus tender. The substantial order for 100 new generation BYD 12-metre electric buses has been placed by Egged, Israel’s largest city and intercity public transport operator.

The order comes as part of Egged’s initiative to expand its fleet of zero-emissions buses with the support of Israel’s Public Transport Authority and the Ministry for Environmental Protection.

It is also the largest order for BYD electric buses in Israel to date. Egged has been a customer of BYD since 2017, and already has 24 BYD electric buses in its fleet currently operating in Haifa and Jerusalem. It is through Egged’s experience of operating BYD electric buses and the fleet’s proven reputation for performance, quality and reliability, that cemented the successful outcome of the tender for BYD.

The new eBuses, due for delivery before the end of 2022, will enhance those currently operating in the city of Haifa, and further strengthens Israel’s transition to emissions-free transportation for a cleaner and quieter environment.

Across Israel, there are currently 37 BYD electric buses in operation in the cities of Haifa, Jersualem, Tel Aviv, Modin and the Sharon area which combined, have covered 5 million electric kilometres, reducing over 5000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

The pure-electric buses on order for Israel are powered by the latest generation BYD Iron-Phosphate Battery technology with increased energy density for an even longer driving range, as well as an extended battery life. The 422 KWh battery delivers an impressive driving range of over 400km on a single charge under SORT conditions. Modern in styling, the eBus has been designed for high levels of passenger comfort, while also having a spacious and comfortable area for the driver too.
