BYD Offers Assistance with Federal Grant Applications
The Californer/10122146

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- The Federal Transit Administration recently announced $180 million will be available through its competitive Low or No Emission (Low-No) Program and California-based BYD "Build Your Dreams" stands ready to help transit agencies navigate the application process.

The Low-No program exists to support the nation's transition to energy-efficient vehicles such as those manufactured in BYD's Lancaster, California plant. As the industry leader in zero emission electric buses, and with over 1,000 vehicles on the road and/or in production, BYD, the Official Sponsor of Mother Nature, is the best USA electric bus manufacturing partner of choice for the Low-No grant program.

"We're proud to have helped secure over $10 million for our customers through last year's Low-No grant program," said BYD North America Senior Vice President Patrick Duan. "Having experts with a successful track record to assist transit agencies can make all the difference with these competitive grants."
