183 more BYD electric buses are coming to Santiago, Chile, later this summer according to the Minister of Transport and Telecommunications, Gloria Hutt. The new buses will join the 100 electric buses that BYD and local partner, Enel, brought into the capital last December.
Santiago, Chile, has a new fleet of BYD busses running, created in partnership with BYD and Enel X. This helps to reduce the city’s dense air pollution and help the country reach its goal of 100% renewables by 2040 as part of its National Strategy for Electric Mobility
Chile is leading the charge towards sustainable transportation in South America, having taken delivery of what is now the largest pure electric bus fleet in South America. The delivery of the 100 fully electric BYD K9FE buses was marked by a ceremony in the capital city of Santiago, Chile, on December 13th that was attended by the President of Chile, Mr Sebastián Piñera, the Minister of Transportation in Chile, Gloria Hutt, and other key leaders from the country.
