Chinese manufacturer BYD does not stop expanding its lineup of buses and recently also motorcoaches - three of those are now being shown at the United Motorcoach Association’s annual expo in Nashville, Tennessee (Jan. 19-23).
Our attention was caught by the 45-foot (13.7 m) double-deck C10MS model, which is called the largest battery-electric motorcoach in North America.
It can seat up to 77 people and drive up to 230 miles (370 km), which is a lot, but might still not be enough for many applications.
The other two models are the smaller C8MS 35-foot double-deck motorcoach and C9M 40-foot motorcoach.
The range of those two is noticeably lower - 170 miles and 200 miles respectively.
BYD C10MS:
- 45-foot double-deck
- can seat up to 77 people
- range of up to 230 miles (370 km)
BYD C8MS:
- 35-foot double-deck
- 51 seats
- range of up to 170 miles (274 km)
BYD C9M:
