BYD has received an order for another 20 electric buses from Nobina, Sweden and the Nordic region’s largest bus operator.
The order is for 20 of the 18-metre articulated K11 model. Deliveries will start at the end of 2019.
It takes the total number of BYD e-buses ordered by Nobina to 138.
Nobina ordered 26 BYD vehicles last autumn, comprising 11 12m e-buses, 10 18m articulated e-buses, and five 8.7m midi-buses – all scheduled for delivery this summer.
Over 700 BYD e-buses are now in operation or on order throughout Europe.
“This is a significant addition to an already substantial investment in our e-bus products from Nobina,” says Isbrand Ho, Managing Director, BYD Europe.
“The electric bus market in Sweden and, indeed, throughout the Nordic countries, is growing rapidly and BYD remains well placed to supply the right products for a wide range of operations.”
