Top 10 Electric Buses That Help Change The World

Top 10 Electric Buses

Electric bus deployment represents a major trend in the international landscape of urban public transportation. Many countries are now focusing on electrification of their mass transit solutions, and several factors such as the rise in pollution and environmental hazards, stringent government regulations, and stiff competition have compelled several automakers to make environment-friendly buses.
Here is the list of the top 10 environmentally friendly buses. You wouldn’t
want to miss the amazing facts about the number one bus on this
countdown. Let's get down to it!

Solaris Urbino Electric should be here! They already entered service in many European cities and from all the electric buses I rode, these Polish beauties were the most stylish ever!

[ancanedelcu]

See Buses From London UK Now!!! Absolutely No Words!!! Amazing!!! Amazing!!!

[krzysieklechowski]

where Solaris Urbino Electric ?
E-mobility european leader ?

[Dr.Gehrig]

The BYDK9 is my favorite on this list. LFP batteries with 150 miles in an urban environment with solar panels on the roof really seems the most innovative option to me. Hopefully some American manufacturers will soon make a similar bus.

[CharlesDonkey-goue]

I think this is a great thing for the environment

[ayanokoji]

The Mercedes Benz shown is not the E-Citaro, but the Mercedes Benz C2 from 2012

[juancarlosvargaslagos]

Here in bogota, the byd B13S01 is the huge electric bus, it is based on K9 but much better, it has USB charging ports, Wifi, Info Displays, Intelligent Transport System, the only trouble in my opinion, it is not Low entry bus.

[Jaminity]

the BYD at 1:28 is a K7 not a K9 btw!!

[Kmaxrzd]

What about KAMAZ-6282?
A brand New electrobus that was built to replace old trolleybuses?

[Yevgeshik]

I prefer classic trolleybuses with overhead wires. It is OK to use battery for short distances and for emergency reasons.

[Tuukkohakee]

I am happy to say that in Finland we use Linkkers, Byds, Youtongs and vdls electric busses mostly in the Helsinki and Turku regions. Just yesterday we got a new operator to the turku region (nobina) that overtook 8 lines and now operates them with byd 15s. We also got some electric busses to 3 other lines, but those are not fully electric yet. Now 1/5 turku's busses are electric. Great video, electric busses are really the future, even here in Finland, where electric cars are not the best.

[fuadjafarli]

I had an opportunity to ride many e-buses. But, Solaris is exceptional one

[dangelohartley]

I'm surprised a bus from BYD is mentioned. But also surprised only one North American manufacturer is mentioned in the video

[nathanhoo]

Interesting! I hope our CLING bus HVAC electric A/C system can serve not only Yutong bus, but also others.

[nikolaishmelev]

Moscow has Europe's biggest fleet of electric busses KAMAZ (more than London, Paris or Berlin) and it is not even metioned.

[rickbruceroche]

And Minnesota has found it to be anDISASTER!

[davefroman]

Putting BYD in #10 position is laughable. They have manufacturing in 8 different markets including Europe, North America, South America, India and Africa. NOBODY has more EV Buses on the roads than BYD with 1.2 million units produced so far.

[YaoboyProdK]

They forgot to introduce Yutong E12, as they're great electric buses.

[VikingAge]

In China's big cities, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, it is difficult to see fuel buses. 99% of all buses in these cities are electric buses. In Guangzhou, China, hydrogen energy buses have been used. I take hydrogen energy buses to the office almost every day. but hydrogen energy is not used by all buses. Only a few lines in Guangzhou use hydrogen energy. Hydrogen energy is a little louder than electric buses. Others are exactly the same as electric buses.

The Mercedes-Benz Citaro G wasn't an eCitaro G, it was a standard Diesel Citaro G... 🤦
