BYD Motors and Cox Automotive have inked a deal for Cox to provide service for BYD's Class 6 and Class 8 electric trucks in the U.S.
The deal is expected to bring 20 BYD battery-electric school buses to Antelope Valley Schools in Lancaster, Calif., near where the company builds the vehicles.
AVTA received its 20th electric MCI coach for their commuter routes. The addition of these buses to AVTA’s fleet of BYD zero-emission buses, enables the agency to place into service a 100% zero-emission transit fleet.
BYD’s medium-duty Class 6 models (6F and 6R) are eligible for $85,000 while the heavy-duty Class 8 models (8R and 8TT) are eligible for $120,000
The collaboration plans to leverage Nuvve’s technology and Stonepeak’s and Evolve’s capital through Levo to offer fully financed, V2G-enabled BYD medium- and heavy-duty electric fleet vehicles.
BYD unveiled two third-generation electric trucks. The Class 8 Gen3 8TT drayage, regional haul, and distribution work, and the 6F for regional haul and distribution work or refuse collection.
Ten battery-electric yard tractors are now in operation in Port Newark, New Jersey, which Red Hook Container Terminals said it is the single largest deployment of battery-electric trucks in the eastern U.S.
The companies’ electric vehicle partnership tops 500 all-electric double decker bus sales with a delivery to Go-Ahead London.
Vehicles in the voucher program include BYD’s entire battery-electric transit bus line and most coaches, as well as Class 8 and Class 6 electric trucks.
In those five million electric miles, approximately 1.2 million gallons of diesel fuel have been saved, according to AVTA chairman Marvin Crist.
