On February 15, local time, BYD announced the successful delivery of 29 new pure electric double-decker buses to operator Abellio, which were jointly built by BYD and British bus manufacturer partner Alexander Dennis (ADL) and currently serve bus line 63 operated by the London Transport Authority (TfL), aiming to provide London residents with a more attractive and environmentally friendly green travel solution.

The all-electric double-decker bus delivered this time innovates in the upper sunroof, seat design, and entertainment equipment, providing passengers with more convenient office conditions and a comfortable travel experience. Taking into account the travel needs of special groups, the parking areas for wheelchairs and strollers have also been optimized.
Thanks to BYD's lithium iron phosphate battery technology, the new pure electric double-layer bus has a longer driving range and battery life, equipped with a new chassis equipped with a six-in-one integrated controller assembly system, providing greater safety and stability for the bus.

He also believes that "continued investment in zero-emission buses contributes to the sustainable development of London and is essential to support green employment across the UK."
