BYD received another order for electric buses in Canada as the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) and the Réseau de transport de Longueuil (RTL) signed up for the electrification.
The first steps in Longueuil and Montreal are small as RTL will receive five 30-foot buses, while STM will receive an order of four of the same model. But we can assume that there will be much larger projects in a few years when agencies become more familiar with EVs.

“These buses will make an immediate improvement to air quality and noise levels in both cities. These buses alone will deliver a reduction in carbon emissions of more than 600 metric tonnes each year. This will mean a total reduction of 7200 tonnes over the operating life of the vehicles.”

“The order from Longueuil was BYD Canada’s first order of heavy duty electric buses in Quebec. Together with STM’s order in Montreal this is the beginning of a large transit transformation to zero emission vehicles in the Province.”

“This order puts STM and RTL ahead of the Federal Ministry of Environment and Climate Change’s new carbon pollution regulations for heavy-duty vehicles starting in 2020.

BYD is the world leader in zero emission buses. BYD Canada was the pioneer in Canada and is now the market leader. In addition to this ground-breaking order in Quebec, BYD Canada has buses on order or in operation in Toronto, Victoria, and St. Albert and Grand Prairie in Alberta.”

BYD Canada’s Vice President Ted Dowling said:

“Long range Electric Battery buses make sense in Quebec. We are using Hydro Quebec’s clean electricity to charge our buses overnight. This is the best use of surplus power and will save STM and RTL over $100,000 a year in diesel costs.”

“The buses are the first of what we hope will become an important part of the fleets in both communities and others in Quebec. This would not have happened without the climate change leadership shown by Mayors Valerie Plante and Sylvie Parent, in Montreal and Longueuil, along with the support of their transit agency leaders in STM and RTL.”

BYD buses looks beautiful. It would be nice introduction to our city I don't sure if it's capable of running in water or heavy rain.

........ I don't know if the BYD electric bus can be completed, but I can confirm that BYD 秦(electric) can do it.

BYD secures pole position in Thailand's pure electric vehicle market

For some time, BYD has been making inroads into various Asian markets with its environmentally friendly suite of electric vehicles serving as popular modes of public transport.

Bangkok's new e6 fleet will be used as VIP taxis and as part of a car-sharing service. The e6 is powered by the company's proprietary lithium iron phosphate battery renowned for being safe, stable, and providing fast charging that means a two-hour charge allows BYD cars to travel up to 400 kilometers.

Liu Xueliang, general manager of BYD's Asia-Pacific Automotive Sales Division, said: "BYD is driving the transformation of electric mobility around the world. We are very pleased that Thailand has joined us."

With over 100,000 taxis and around 43,000 buses traversing hundreds of kilometers of roads daily within metropolitan Bangkok as well as its surroundings, the city suffers from high levels of vehicle exhaust emissions.

"Electric vehicles are being adopted around the world because they are cleaner and less noisy compared to combustion engine vehicles," said Sanit Promwong, director of the Land Transport Department of Thailand. "We ultimately want our people to have a better living environment."

BYD vehicles have been operating in Thailand since 2012 when the e6 was first deployed as the official car for the country's largest power company, MEA. The e6 and the K9 electric buses were also adopted by Thailand's leading industrial and commercial giant, the Loxley Group, to kick start an "electrification strategy‟. BYD continues to improve its range of electric vehicles for private, public and industrial use as Thailand considers plans for the EEC, a low-carbon and technologically advanced zone.
