The BYD GreenCity buses that CTS and Buquebus are purchasing are able to run 250 km (155 miles) on a single charge in urban conditions, with an energy consumption of less than 130 kWh per 100 km. The core technology of the BYD electric buses is the company’s self-developed Iron-Phosphate battery technology boasting the highest safety, longest service life and most environmentally-friendly rechargeable chemistry. The Chinese-made BYD buses have been in service in four cities including Shenzhen, Changsha, Shaoguan and Xi’an, accumulating over 5.6 million kilometers (3.4 million miles) by the end of April 2012. The first BYD electric buses will arrive in Uruguay before end of 2012 with targets to have over 500 buses running on roads by 2015.<BR><BR> <P>기사원문보기 : <A href=&quot;http://www.itsinternational.com/sections/transmart/news/uruguay-plans-to-buy-hundreds-of-electric-buses-from-chinese-company/&quot;>http://www.itsinternational.com/sections/transmart/news/uruguay-plans-to-buy-hundreds-of-electric-buses-from-chinese-company/</A></P>
