BYD wins Schiphol contract: 35 pure electric buses for airside service
Fast growing automotive supplier BYD has scored a major victory - it has been selected to supply a new fleet of electric buses to transfer passengers between the terminals and aircraft at Europe's leading airport, Amsterdam Schiphol. The emission free BYD ebus models, due to enter service in July 2014, will replace an ageing fleet of specialised conventionally powered buses.
The SUBSS Project (SUstainable Bus System Schiphol) aims to provide a new generation of emission free airside transfer vehicles which will reduce bus maintenance and management costs and improve air quality by reducing the emission of CO2 and NOx.
