LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Washington state officials chose California-based BYD (Build Your Dreams) to participate in a statewide purchase agreement that gives transit agencies throughout The Evergreen State and the United States the ability to buy American-made BYD coaches and buses.
The vehicles, which comply with strict Buy America standards, are manufactured by union workers with the Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transit Workers, Local 105, headquartered in Southern California.
"BYD are already in service with Wenatchee's LINK Transit, earning praise for their performance and quiet operation in Chelan and Douglas counties," said Patrick Duan, BYD North America Senior Vice President. "We appreciate this opportunity to serve other agencies throughout the state with innovative solutions."
BYD buses have achieved more than 15 million emission-free miles in revenue service throughout the United States. There are more than 1,000 BYD battery-electric buses built or ordered for U.S. customers. Every American-built zero-emission BYD bus eliminates approximately 1,690 tons of CO2 over its 12-year lifespan, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.
