ADL's new all-electric heating system for electric buses is a heat pump product developed to transfer atmospheric heat in to the vehicle. Designed to run efficiently in low ambient temperatures, it can also be used in reverse to cool the vehicle during warmer weather. The high efficiency of the system enables additional operational range.
Isbrand Ho, managing director of BYD Europe, said: "Here we see yet another example of the close collaboration between BYD and ADL, bringing together its industry-leading resources."
Colin Robertson, ADL chief executive, said: "Our partnership continues to go from strength to strength as bus operators choose reliability and best-in-class support. We are building even more strongly on ADL's unrivalled experience in designing buses that maximise efficiency, capacity and passenger comfort."
