The 12-metre ebus comes with a BYD chassis that has been developed for safety, efficiency and reliability. A key benefit is the six-in-one controller integrating the entire ecosystem of the bus for improved reliability and increased operational proficiency, as well as energy efficiency. The BYD Battery Thermal Management System ensures the battery stays at the optimum operating temperature, adapting to various climate conditions. There is also the reassurance of battery stability and safety as the BYD-Castrosua eBuses use iron-phosphate battery technology developed by BYD.
The Nelec body from Castrosua facilitates the development of all customisation and adaptation options as well as streamlining production, repair and maintenance processes while providing the customer with advanced presentations in their decision-making process.
In terms of safety, the Nelec body complies with the non-mandatory rollover strength regulation 66 for Class I vehicles.
The BYD-Castrosua 12-metre eBus can accommodate up to 92 passengers, making it a practical size for city bus services. With 422 kWh battery capacity, it also offers an impressive range of more than 450 km on a single charge.
