“#BYD\u2019s electric school bus will feed electricity back to classrooms<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Earlier in June, Chinese EV automaker BYD officially introduced<\/a> its new electric Type D school bus, available in the US in lengths of 10.6, 11.6, and 12 meters, and capable of carrying up to 84 passengers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most notably, the school bus enables bi-directional charging. According to the company, the bus can be charged overnight when energy demand is low, and feed\u00a0clean energy back to the school during school hours. That way, while the bus is parked, classrooms can be lit and teachers and students plugged-in.<\/p>\n

The bus features a lithium iron phosphate battery and has a range of roughly 250 kilometers on a single charge. That\u2019s 57km more than the electric school buses of Blue Bird Corporation, one of the biggest industry players, can go.<\/p>\n

BYD is also focusing on safety as its top priority. For this reason, the bus has features including\u00a0electronic stability control to aid handling, a collision avoidance system, and a 360-degree monitoring system to detect pedestrians and cyclists around the bus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, the bus is equipped with what BYD calls \u201cPredictive Stop Arm,\u201d which monitors oncoming traffic and notifies students when it\u2019s not safe to cross.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are also\u00a0IMMI\u2019S Safeguard 3-point lap-shoulder belts, integrated child seats, and portable restraints. \u201cThese school bus seats are not only designed to keep children safer, but they have the benefits of improving behavior, reducing bullying, and minimizing driver distraction,\u201d the automaker claims.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s unclear when and where BYD\u2019s new ebuses will debut, the announcement comes in perfect sync with President Biden\u2019s EV infrastructure scheme and especially his plan to eventually electrify all school buses in the US.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s interesting that in April BYD, which claims that it represents 40% of the US manufacturing capacity for battery electric buses,\u00a0officially declared its support<\/a>\u00a0for the Biden Administration\u2019s plans and app<\/a>lauded the goal of transit and school bus electrification.<\/p>\n\n
