BYD’s 12-metre eBus remains the company’s best-selling model in Europe with more than 700 units now in operation.

“The commissioning of these BYD electric buses sees significant progress towards our key objective in Madrid: the elimination of the diesel-powered fleet by 2023, with 100% of our vehicles running cleanly and within the framework of the current Environmental Sustainability Strategy ‘Madrid 360,'” said EMT Madrid director of Transportation Services, Carlos Sierra.

EMT is integrated in Madrid´s Regional Transport Consortium and operates a fleet of around 2,000 buses and a network of 218 bus lines.
