Havelbus takes delivery of first electric buses from BYD

The goal of the municipal Havelbus Transport Company is to convert the entire fleet to buses with electric drives in the Falkensee transport area within the next three years. The first step has been taken, as the Brandenburg transport company has now received the first electric buses from BYD. In the first batch, the Chinese bus manufacturer is delivering six articulated and four solo buses. At the same time, Havelbus has laid the foundation for future electric bus traffic with the expansion of the charging infrastructure. However, the district had to step in due to the lack of federal funding and supported the first ten electric vehicles with almost 3.38 million euros.

“We are starting now with ten electric buses, ten more are coming next year, and another ten the year after that, so that in three years' time we will be running fully electric in Falkensee,” said Janko Wokon, Managing Director of Havelbus Transport Company, to rbb.
