Don't wait, America buys BYD buses too

@@yilivalleybut aren’t they made in the USA?

@@Fabulousprofound168 i think the chassis are still made in china

So no different to the tariffs and restrictions china places on foreign cars ?

😂😂😂 Looks everything comes with side effects. Just wait until cowboys approve it for you , after them getting it first and breaking their own rules

It's neither of the two. It's kilowatt hour.

@@adon8672 That's what i said

@@Kevin-kd6hf No you said per.

@@foppo101 He said "not kW per hour".

Then we really are screwed

Electric london taxis manufactured by another China company called Geely sinCe 2017. It is too late for BYD.

@@Frank-jn3zg Exactly, London Taxi Corporation was turned into London Electric Vehicle Company when Geely bought it up. It's been going strong ever since.

Totally agree. The trolleybus is long overdue a return to UK. Best road means of passenger carrying we ever had

We have the trolley system for trucks on Autobahns in an experimental stage in Germany. Isn't this idea brilliant for decarbonizing the transport sector? Unfortunately no one seems to be interested (guess why).

Way way higher acquisition cost.

solar panel not as efficient only gives you little power, thats why u dont need that

Added cost and complexity. Panoramic sunroof also makes climate control harder

I'm sure the overcast weather in that part of the world will help.

People spend less than 15 mins on a bus. No need for any extras

​@@Matthew_M11True, it's hard to keep a bus cool anyway as humans emit a lot of heat

UK has no money 😒

@@UKkennyUK cannot accept the reality that they are in fact, inadequate.

That wouldnt work for non city areas.

Are you mocking the British for being stupid?

Nah, i think the adl new gen e400ev is better

wish some thinktank genius can workout how much carbon pollution is saved if ALL the london red buses are zero emission

😂😂😂😂😂

We have the BYD double-decker buses here in London, they have been fine in Winter

Heated seats

I call Bull crap! The waste heat from the battery while this bud is operating will be more than enough to keep the interior of this bus toasty warm on even the coldest winter days in London’s rather mild winters. I’m from Canada and we have several electric buses in our fleet here in my city and they have no issue with heating even in -30°C winter days.

What a bunch of absurd nonsense. EVs work perfectly fine in winter, heating does not eat up that much range. Especially when it's has a freaking 532 kWh battery. You have no clue how gigantic amount of energy that is.

In Vancouver these diesel buses are the worst maintained old tech black smoke belching embarrassments known to man. Electric is perfect and for heating, two words...heat pump!

应该是的

Assembled in UK

heat pump

Well apart from the age, pollution, open platform on the back leading to accidents and fare evasion, and a complete lack of access for people with disabilities. Oh and lack of WiFi, charge points, Aircon, and decent customer announcements. Apart from those

The Boris incubatormaster?😂

@@hughw2377 a bus designed by an edgy architect not a bus engineer. What could possibly have gone wrong there???

You may then like the channel @PeteAndHisBus it's a guy that restores them and has them working as bar's at events

​@@patrickjr11that is so true however knowing electric buses it could explode

Colour not Color

The Thames is pretty clean now, in the 2012 Olympics they had swimming events in it. They are also built extra storage capacity for rain

@@Stand663 Colour is UK while US is color. Microsoft is US and auto correct to Color.

Because they are excellent I think. These new version buses have moved the game on from good enough to more then good enough.

Because you hate them so much.

I understand you want to pay higher buss fares.

Because they are the best

​@@patrickjr11But the new gen e400ev gives a similar range and better build quality tho

Yet China still has the highest emission globally, through producing batteries, mining and coal power plants.

The electric BYD buses operated by Transport for London keep catching fire, they're junk.

A good reason to upgrade to new electric technologies. This is not the rubbish of 10 years ago

That's kind of the point. As they are full EV, they need far less maintenance. So reducing the need for staff that are impossible to find

Statistics prove that petrol vehicles catch fire far more - ten times more - than EVs. These fires never get into the papers because they are so common.

@@alexmckenna1171 totally wrong : after 10 years if standard flex fuel lines are not replaced or are damaged by rodents, a gasoline car may catch on fire while lacking this proper maintenance and this occurs therefore only on old cars . On many quality modern cars, the flex fuel lines are armoured and good for life time of 15-25 years and 300.000 to 500.000 kms but can still be changed or pressure tested each 10 years for safety.. While it takes air with fuel to cause a fire on a thermal vehicle, an EV lithium charged battery stores airless ALL the energy for 400 kms inside…and in case of a short circuit within one element or between two elements due to a shock or accident, fires are frequent and any damaged EV should be first discharge or transported extremely slowly..a signed responsibility disclaimer discharge is requested from the owner by most towing companies or garages before touching a damaged EV or PHEV, but also, it can take as short as 3 years of service for the lithium battery impedance to increase sufficiently for an excessive charging current to cause overheating. Most lithium fire recent recalls such as Samsung note 7, BYD E6 taxis, B767, TMS Plaid, etc were due to faulty BMS mismanaging batteries ageing and capacity loss..today, about 6 Ev burn per day in China and they are NOT old cars..and lithium fires, like sodium or magnesium fires cannot be stopped with water foam CO2 Halon gaz or powder and typically result is a full destruction while racing cars accidental fires are stopped fast and easy. This is simply NOT comparable…Now, most car “spontaneous “ fire pictured in local newspapers (while type of vehicle is not specified on purpose not to scare owners,) are EV and exceptionally hybrids and old thermal cars . Your 10 times ratio is just an urban legend for naive geeks..One issue is that insurance premiums do no reflect this liability for any prevention to take place, in case the recent ferry fires and destruction would be charge to the vehicle type which initiated the fire instead of being spreaded on all the goods transport and ship insurances going up… then the corresponding EV type liability insurance would be excessive or not available…and this EV type would become basically unsellable….and the current market collapse is also basically deciding it…and came to the same conclusion.

​@@alexmckenna1171Totally.

@@alexmckenna1171see ev fires all over… 6 per day in China… kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5eBq5x6yqethJs.htmlsi=7300tJJIOoqsESE2

Evs don't explode - that's what petrol vehicles do. Statistics prove that petrol vehicles catch fire far more - ten times more - than EVs. These fires never get into the papers because they are so common.

This is one with an LFP battery which is very unlikely to self-combust. So no more toxic fireworks as these (hopefully) replace the NMC battery powered buses.

@@alexmckenna1171Diesel fires are generally just too easy to put out to make the news. NMC battery powered EV's tend to set themselves on fire when they are too hot, overcharged, hit anything or just one of the thousands of cells was not quite perfect out of the factory. NMC is just too unstable. The solar industry has basically abandoned it and switches to the much safer LFP battery chemistry without a highly toxic content like Cobalt.

Where is the news of BYD bus catching fire in UK? Can you share?

Hey dude still there? Is that common for you to say something with proof and hide away?

yawn

Those working class people won't be working if this imported bus takes their job.
