"Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD has debuted its electric eBus B13.b
in Europe at the UITP Summit in Hamburg, a 13-metre electric intercity bus with
a range of up to 700 kilometres.
Powered by BYD’s own self-developed lithium iron phosphate (LFP) Blade Battery
technology, the BYD eBus B13.b runs on a maximum battery capacity of 560kWh
while still capable of carrying up to 78 passengers and travelling over 700
kilometres on a single charge (Standardized On-Road Test (SORT) cycle).
The B13.b boasts a top speed of 100km/h and “is engineered to offer operators
optimum flexibility, with the ability to master both urban and intercity
duties”, according to BYD.
The bus has a carrying capacity that includes 49 seats and room for 29 standing
while the bus is powered by two 150kW wheel hub hairpin motors, and benefits
from a proprietary integrated thermal management system that bundles drivetrain
cooling, battery cooling, battery heat pump heating, and drivetrain waste heat
recovery; and increased battery efficiency.
The B13.b can be charged from single or dual 192kW charging guns, and a maximum
charging power of 500kW with the use of an overhead pantograph charging
mechanism."
