The Metropolitan Region of Salvador will have 20 fully operational electric buses from BYD. The state’s governor, Rui Costa, visited the manufacturer’s factory in Campinas, and the estimate is that the vehicles will be circulating in Salvador by the end of June.

In February of this year, BYD announced the production of a new model of electric bus equipped with technology that returns energy to the power grid. The model is named Type A and one of its main features is the V2G technology that allows the bus to be used as a battery when it is not transporting passengers.

The vehicle primarily focuses on routes with students and transportation of People with Disabilities (PwD). The model is equipped with a lithium iron battery that, in addition to being widely used in this category of vehicles, also offers a range of 225 km on a single charge and in addition, returns energy to the power grid with the expectation of being available in the school environment 24 hours a day, both as a vehicle and as a battery.
