The 12 units of 22-metre-long articulated buses will be manufactured by BYD in its facility in Campinas, which produces the pure electric bus chassis sold in the country. The plant installed in Campinas in 2015 has an annual production capacity of 720 chassis and could double capacity according to the production plan.
In 2018, São José dos Campos implemented a fleet of 100% electric cars for its entire Municipal Guard with BYD e5 and e6 models. After a year, the city had saved R$850,000 (US$145,000) on fuel.
Before the implementation of the new models, the Municipal Guard spent R$933,000 on gasoline and alcohol per year.
