Transmilenio will soon open the bidding process<\/strong> for the fleet of articulated buses for the new trunk lines of Avenida 68 and Soacha<\/strong>. This is according to a report in Forbes<\/strong> magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chinese company BYD<\/strong> announced its interest in participating in the tender and gave details of how the tests of the first electric bi-articulated vehicle<\/strong>, whose chassis assembly was 100% made in the country<\/strong>, together with Hino Motors<\/strong>, are progressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forbes details that the 18-meter-long vehicle<\/strong>, which will also be bodyworked by the national industry, is the first to be developed in this way by BYD in Colombia<\/strong>, which during its trajectory in the country has brought more than 1,470 units to Bogot\u00e1<\/strong> and more than 1,550 nationwide<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scope<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the tender, Transmilenio seeks to acquire 296 electric buses<\/strong> in a first phase, with the goal of completing 636 vehicles<\/strong> in its electric fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The first electric articulated bus<\/strong> in Colombia is already in operation in Bogot\u00e1. Although it has not yet been officially registered, internal tests have been carried out<\/strong> on the city’s streets with positive results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its design and capacity make it a cost-effective<\/strong>, self-sustainable, economical and environmentally friendly solution<\/strong>. This bus, designed to adapt to the most demanding BRT systems<\/strong>, represents a major breakthrough in urban mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is estimated that this electric vehicle will reduce between 40 and 45 tons of CO2 per year<\/strong>, contributing significantly to the reduction of polluting emissions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its first phase, it has been tested on city roads such as Calle 26<\/strong>, Calle 80<\/strong>, Carrera 30<\/strong>, and Avenida Suba<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BYD emphasizes<\/strong> that in its environmental impact, it is estimated that in its first year of operation, the bus will travel approximately 93,600 kilometers<\/strong>, avoiding the emission of 193 tons of CO2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a capacity for 250 passengers<\/strong>, BYD’s bi-articulated bus has a torque of 2,200 NM<\/strong> and a maximum power of 804 horsepower<\/strong> at 600 kW<\/strong>. Its charging time ranges between 2.5 and 3.5 hours<\/strong> and an approximate range of 300 kilometers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
