In a press release this morning, BYD has introduced its Type D fully electric school bus, available in lengths of 35, 38, and 40 feet and capable of transporting up to 84 passengers. According to the company, this bus will be able to travel 155 miles on a single charge.
The BYD Type D gets this range from its lithium iron phosphate battery, powering the high-speed, dual in-wheel traction motors in the powertrain.
