BYD e-buses to be used in Europe

German intercity bus company FlixBus is investing in e-buses produced by Chinese bus makers, and planning to test them on their long-distance routes for the first time in the world. According to the Munich-based bus company, the first all-electric e-bus will begin test operations between Paris and Amiens, France, in April. The electric buses for this route are made by China’s Zhengzhou Yutong Bus Co. In summer 2018, the second Flix-e-Bus will hit the road between Hessen and Baden Wurttemberg, Germany, as part of the German domestic network expansion for summer travelers. For this route, all the e-buses will be supplied by Chinese bus maker BYD.
