Yeaaah!...I've been there for 30 days training after which I was stationed in Maryland as an e-bus technician. These busses are fun and easy to work on.
Who sent you to training and is the USA going to import these buses?
@@liveonce1827 I was hired on directly by BYD and that's their factory in Lancaster, CA therefore, the busses are manufactured here in the US
@@patbaptiste9510 how to apply for the job ?
It would have been so good to see some details of the bus - like the batteries, motors etc. After going to all the trouble of heading out to the factory...
Wouldn't be surprised if that's IP protected, so their competitors don't know about the exact specifications
Guess Byton paid for that info not youtube.
Yes, you're right, instead of all that talking
A tip: you can watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Carl Kai yup, been using flixzone for years myself =)

"When two buses love each other..."
Then bong,a baby bus comes out.😀
@@nanmca7501 They join two busses together. they are called Tandem busses. They are joined by a swivel platform. It's kinda like driving a trailer behind a truck...kinda.
great video, thank you.
Thanks for a very nice tour!
I have traveled on these buses in China where they are used instead of conventional buses. They are a delight to travel in. Quiet, fast and air conditioned.
Great video. ☺️
@3:05 I think I lot of people misunderstand your “the batteries are on the top portion”, when the batteries are mounted low INSIDE, “on top” of the floor, as opposed to under the floor like in many EVs.
These are busses so there is no need to get the center of gravity as low as a sports car, but it is important that the step height for passengers is as low as possible, so making the floor low and mounting the batteries inside is a good decision.
Several bus manufactures want a low entry floor, and thus find they can or should locate the battery pack on the roof, yes above the passenger compartment. It might also help with the heat dispersion, by locating them in the air above the bus.
@@Kangenpower7 , yes, but this bus did not mount the batteries on the roof, it mounted them in boxes on top of the floor, since the floor is very low. Clearly they could have put them on the roof if they never wanted to go fast around corners. But they decided to mount them low, just not as low as possible.
All electric RV would be sweet.
The bus purchase price is about $100,000 - $120,000 more than a diesel bus of the same capacity in passengers and weight. So in overall costs, that is 50,000 miles a year in fuel, and other running costs (such as oil changes, and such things) the diesel VS electric bus, the total cost to own one for 7 years and 350,000 miles, the electric bus is slightly less, mainly due to fuel savings. Fuel cost for a diesel bus today is about $1 per mile, while the electric bus charged at non-peak electricity rates is only about $0.15 per mile.
An electric RV, unless it puts on 250,000 miles over 7 years will end up being at least $100,000 more then the diesel version over the same 7 year period, because the diesel bus might spend more for fuel each year, but much less on initial cost to purchase the vehicle.
The Thomas school bus co. came out with an all electric school bus this year. They call it the C2 Jouley and it's already in service in the US and Canada !
The version I saw has an oil heater for heating the bus and defrosting the windows in winter.
John Ross as do all other battery electric buses on the market currently.
behind you is a picture CGI
Good video
Wow! BYD has a plant in Cali and they make EV busses. Since they have all the clearance to do that, it probably won't be long before they add on an EV car or suv line to sell us their tariff free autos?
I don't know if BYD will see a profit in producing cars in the United States. It is very expensive to start production, run test cars into walls, ect to pass the various tests. They have their hands full making a bus that will offer about $15,000 - $25,000 profit for each bus! They could never see a $10,000 profit in any car that will sell in the quantity needed to make it profitable.
In india pune its olectra Electric bus absolutely smart and go green initiative
More news on the Skyrail please!
You should to a video from the us plant I work at here in Crookston Mn called New Flyer of America.
What’s the spec of the bus?
❤️
Is a skyrail like a monorail?
yes, it's byd's monorail offering
BYD, please adopt Jaopanese style manufacturing processes.
Why the battery is placed on top
So it can tip over.
@@bgeery tanks filled with what?
Kesmond Boats NG - compressed natural gas.
Kesmond Boats NG - compressed natural gas.
Could this be the reason BYD is only for the Chinese market?
greetings from 2021! Those buses still work on coal power in 2021!
Coal power in 2022 is only about 23% of the total amount of electricity generated in the United States. California, Oregon and Washington made almost no power from coal. They have a plan to place enough wind turbines in the Atlantic Ocean to power all the busses they want to in 2030 with wind power!
@@Kangenpower7 wind power is just a hoax - you cannot make stabile power grid with wind turbines or solar plants. It's just stupid.
It is simply a major fraud aimed at cheat out money by state subsidies. There is no sustainable wind energy.
At present, most energy in the United States is generated by natural gas power plants. Namely, for technical reasons (most of the time the wind does not blow or is too strong for these "windmills") gas power plants have to be built for each wind farm in the nominal capacity. Namely, natural gas power plants have one crucial feature - they can be started relatively quickly when there is a shortage of wind energy. The infamous Texas Power Grid Collapse is a textbook example of what happens when wind turbines are built without backup power plants.
Future is in nuclear power... or there will be no future.
P.S. In California some 70% of energy is produced natural gas power plants. Moronic Newsom is literally sacking state budget by engaging in all sorts of stupid wind farms and solar farms prjojects, instead of building a few new nuclear power plants in California.
Are any of the materials used to make the bus derived from recyclable material?
Yes, lots of the steel and aluminum is recycled products. Batteries are new, copper wiring in the motors and bus are new products, with very little recycled content.
As an investor in BYD, I would like you to be as professional as possible during this video.
An extremely interesting video, never knew that BYD had a factory in U S A. A few performance details of the bus would have been better.
The factory is located in a very low income area of Los Angeles California. They gave them many development grants to locate in such a low income area, along with discounts on the property tax, lower cost land that as available, ect. . .They have another factory in Canada, near Vancouver.
That bumper needs to go !
can you kindly recommend an Electric bus company I can buy from and ship to africa..thanks
These are only for the USA, byd have companies in Europe to
School bus?
Alex, do you know why BYD chose not to use the skateboard B.P. & is that across the whole of their EV bus range?
It will be easier to lift the battery off the top then lift the heavy bus and drop the battery from the bottom.
What kind of batteries?
Diesel buses the best
There’s an LA Times article titled “Stalls, stops and breakdowns: Problems plague push for electric buses”
I wonder if they’ve sorted out the issues and found ways to sell busses without having to placate politicians
you see the BYD buses running all over Lancaster area as part of the Antelope Valley bus system. I ride them and I've never had any problem with them, even when it snowed just a fewdays ago.

Chinese buses Made in US, sold in China...
world has changed yo...
The busses made in California will be used in the United Staes. Busses made in Canada are for that area, as well as the United States. None from these two plants will get shipped into China, they have a huge tariff for a vehicle made in the USA to get imported into China.
The video wasn't that much better than the "When two buses love each very much ..." explanation.
Biady?
That's how you pronounce it
@@EforElectric build -your- dreams "BYD"
Okay. I just told you how to correctly pronounce it. Do what you want with it. But let's not clutter this comments section with this
比亚迪 (Bi Ya Di) is the Chinese pronunciation.
Nice bus n car. Only big word at the back of the car is really awful. BUILD YOUR DREAMS. Pls dont paste it.
Alex, great video, thank you. Very toughtfull of you.
By the way, are this buses for the US market or for the chinesse market?
Jus the US market
China has their own production line
@@vorlon81 Excellent! Thank you.
Battery on top?! there has to be a better solution for this...
I heard of this before on buses. I think it has to do with their charging mechanism which is above the bus.
@@bob8606 To put a cable down shouldn't be a reason for doing this. I think it could have more to do with level entry and the method of building the buses. Anyway doesn't seem enough of a reason to me.
@@eigenvalue9358 You may be right. I also thought they could run a cable, but they did not. I'm sure there is a solid reason for doing it this way. As for the reason, mine was a guess. Putting the battery in the floor would certainly lower the CG. Good question for Alex to ask next time.
@@bob8606 when busses are load with people they are pretty heavy with low CG.
@@niki123489 I agree that the center of gravity is not the main problem. The main problem is the needed structure to support a heavy roof, which adds a lot of unnecessary weight & cost. (The structure they use is less than impressive)
sorry but its pronounced B.Y.D.
Sorry but it is a Chinese company and I've been to China and that's how they pronounce it there. But thanks for an uneducated lesson and thinking that you know better than me who does this for a living.
Que malos videos mucho bla bla y no muestra como se hacen los buses malos malo
It’s a shame that once completed most will be sold to different transit agencies. They will only last new for a few months. This buses will transport fucken tweakers and homeless people, and others that think that the hood belongs to them and will carve in the gangs name in all the seats and all that stupid shit.
Beast Your Dog. It should be banned, shame on the US for allowing it.
What in the world are you talking about?
@@EforElectric A CCP run rotten company that shouldn't be allowed. Do you need anything else? MAGA!
@@Swaggerlotits cpc not ccp, you warmongering natobot
