BYD is also making these beautiful buses that are popular in cities around the world that are transitioning to cleaner energy.

Various cities are investing in these, for example in the Nordics where they can be tested in extreme cold conditions.

They're here in the Netherlands too, I've been on them often. Inside I find them to be a bit noisy as the frame creaks here and there. We also have electric buses by Yutong and the first time I rode one I felt transported to the future, best bus I've ever been on.

The BYD ones definitely have a comical amount of creaking plastic. Makes me wonder how long those interiors last.

I see Yutong buses more frequently but any chinese electric bus is cool especially when they break containment and pop up outside chinese borders
