BYD BD11 eBus - Euro Bus Expo 2024

[@use-oc4mj6n]

Nice video. Integrated chassis and bodywork buses are the best for driving and for longevity. They are free from rattles and body scuttles which end up affecting buses from ADL and Wrightbus. I'm sure this will do well with operators globally as it is a well thought out decker. 👍

[@Mongchong_123]

Filmed one today at Brent Park Tesco London. I think it was one of the older ones. (BYD004)

[@ddhh1270]

Is this the same chassis as the ADL/BYD combination with hundreds in service at go ahead London?

[@LuperSoop69]

no

[@thegreypenguin5097]

why is there no middle seat in the back?

[@BusAmbassador]

New TfL safety specifications.

[@Suliplayz5264]

The bus is cool but that wide seat looks so weird, i dont think you could even fit two adults on that 0:32

[@BusAmbassador]

Yeah, it was so upright it was uncomfortable.

[@watermonke4599]

I believe they're meant for one person (or a bigger sized person) but it's a bit more spacious/comfy, a trolleybus in Budapest had them

[@thebean6731]

I like the interior but not the exterior

[@ahuman9143]

I don't like the seats they've gone for, theses take up more legroom than the other seats on Go Ahead's high spec EVs

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

​@@ahuman9143 The seats aren't down to the coach builder. Those are specified by the operator.

[@ahuman9143]

@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks Yes I know, I was disappointed at Go Aheads decision to go for the ones on this bus.

[@lek498]

Appreciated! Could you tell me a bit more about the things that you don’t like among the exterior?😊 it would help me to review and improve the design process 🙏

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

@@lek498 Design looks a bit more dated and old fashioned compared to other modern bus designs from UK. The NRM, SRM have more well proportioned, modern and more sleek designs. That is something I wish BYD would take more for their designs.

[@TravelingEurope1]

When are these coming out they need to be on my local bus route for sure

[@AlwaysBusIt]

Why does the bus look different to before, it’s amazing tbh

[@questioned54]

They changed loads of the black accents to red

[@jos4669]

i really dont understand why people are hating on this. like what valid reasons are there?

[@WithCars9]

As a car person, I see a lot of people hate Chinese related cars and especially if they are electric, now this bus is BYD which is Chinese, and it's electric so I can only guess that's why, I'm probably wrong ngl

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

Purely aesthetics imo. Just looks dated and badly proportioned for a modern bus. ADL Enviro EV's look way better, honestly might be the worst looking of all of all the 2024 bus designs that I have seen. Although, for BYD it's an improvement over their last EV design. That was even worse.

[@jos4669]

@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks i personally find the yutong u11dd to be worse, that design tries way too hard to try and appeal to london. and it just doesnt work. i also admittedly have a fondness for boxy vehicle designs, it just pleases me

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

@@jos4669 To each their own. I much prefer the UD11DD over this. The elements aren't good looking on that bus but it's more nondescript and doesn't have ungainly proportions which I feel the BD11 has going on.

[@jos4669]

@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks fair enough. to me it just feels like a cheap amalgamation of the e400 city and NRM. at least the BD11 has its own identity. also helps that i’ve seen both in person lol

[@athavanainkaran2499]

[@DevmartBuses]

I’m gonna be honest, but this bus is awful, why is there so much empty space at the back.

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

You mean where the engine would normally be?

[@DevmartBuses]

@ I’m not talking about the engine.

[@lek498]

⁠​⁠@@DevmartBusesThe space is occupied by the HVAC system. It would be nice if the system is smaller 😅

[@Epalvosh]

The exterior looks a bit nicer than the single decker but is still certainly not good looking!

[@BusAmbassador]

Perhaps their inspiration came from a child's Lego set?

[@lek498]

@@BusAmbassadorIt’s kind of true. And I am happy that you can feel it ❤ LEGO designs usually concentrates on the features of the things that they represent. There’s also other inspirations and practical considerations for the exterior design.

I prefer man lion's city 10dd e

[@londonbuses1844]

How are you man hating on these lmao

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

Because they look ugly outside, the exterior looks very dated. The interior is nicer though.

It's probably not though. I'll say it doesn't look good at all but I am sure the performance and build quality is just fine.
