BYD ADL Electric Bus Partnership in the UK

BYD delivered the world’s first pure-electric double decker bus for Transport for London (TfL) in 2015 in the city’s iconic red. That same year, BYD UK entered a cooperation agreement with Alexander Dennis Ltd (ADL), the UK’s largest bus manufacturer. Seven years on, the successful BYD ADL partnership has over 1300 BYD ADL eBuses in service or on order in the UK.
