A large all-electric school bus just makes a lot of sense—for more reasons than you might expect.
It's a wonder that all-electric school buses have taken this long to become a consideration. The constant stopping and going, the short range most school buses drive, and the long periods they sit for makes them the perfect choice for an electrified powertrain. That's what makesAnd due to its choice of battery, it's less likely to catch fire than your average Tesla.
The Type D is a large bus capable of carrying up to 84 people plus the driver thanks to its 36.32 to 40.5 feet length options. Obviously, the shorter length will mean less people to carry. No matter how long the bus, the wheelbase remains 274 inches .
Going with a BEV also allows the Type D to have an easy-to-use and exit rear emergency door that is also lower to the ground . This also reduces the height from the ground to the bottom of the emergency exit, which is around 40 inches on the Type D. That's roughly the same drop height as a front-engine school bus.You also get far more torque than you would using an ICE. At 201 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque at each rear side of the rear axle, the BYD Type D has a total output of 402 hp with 811.
All versions ride on an air suspension system with mechanical leveling valves rather than leaf springs to ensure your children aren't bumped around too much after a long day of learning and carrying those very heavy book bags. They are also treated to relative silence when compared to a diesel-powered bus, so what they learned isn't removed by the external stress one feels during a loud bus ride.
