Single-deck electric buses carry 83 passengers
BYD stated that the B12A electric 12-meter single-deck bus delivered this time uses a water cooling system to control the battery temperature, effectively extending battery life and improving performance.
Its weight is 4% less than the old K9R electric bus, and the passenger capacity can reach 83 people, which is 19% more.
The new B12A electric bus takes only 2 hours to charge, which is 2 hours faster than before. It can travel about 200 kilometers after charging.
The new car is also equipped with multiple computer systems, including a battery management system, which can monitor battery performance and status; a wheel-side drive system, which installs an electric motor in the wheel to directly drive the bus. The transmission and drive shaft system are no longer needed, except for improvement Transmission efficiency saves maintenance costs and also frees up the internal space of the carriage.
