Battery technology company BYD has signed a series of leasing contracts with Shenzhen, China, establishing BYD as the exclusive provider of pure-electric autos and buses for the 2011 International Universiade Games.
BYD began delivering its eBUS solution to several Shenzhen public bus operations at the end of July. With 200 eBUS and 300 e6 vehicles being deployed, the company says the deal represents the largest fleet of its kind in the world.
After the conclusion of the international multi-sport events at the 2011 Universiade Games, the vehicles will continue serving as public transportation for Shenzhen City.
