THREE NEW BUS TYPES FOR LONDON | The NEW YUTONG U11DD, E400 EV & BYD BD11 eBus (YK74PEO) Previews

[@MostlyBuses1]

​@@nobby3265 tbh I don't really see why companies should care that much about where the buses are coming from. It's good to support businesses in the UK but they're not going to pick a bus that is more expensive and less suited to a route just because it's from the UK

[@MostlyBuses1]

I can understand why people wouldn't like the new publicly owned bus operators buying foreign buses though. And the Bee network in Manchester is buying mostly Wright and ADL, made in the UK (There are some MCVs and Volvos though but I guess as long as they aren't Chinese people here are happy)

I don't mind the 400EV, the BD11 looks horrendous from the boarding side. How TFL gave these designs the green light I don't know. That said, I do understand they offer better ergonomics and comfort to the drivers and passengers, I am split. I don't understand why the U11DD only has one door.. They should have a double door variant. Maybe it'd get more orders, to my eyes it's clearly the most appealing of the bunch.

It doesn't really make sense to me since as you said, you don't have to worry about range on trolleybuses, they also don't have batteries that degrade which means they last longer and therefore will probably save money in the long run.

It's going to be cost to purchase/ lease and how the batteries perform by the end of the lease/contract with TFL. What the green lobby don't publish is that the laws of physics take place.

Yeah true but I'm pretty sure that even if you factor in the emissions caused by production of the battery and the bus, an electric will be better for the environment than a diesel or hybrid (and they also don't produce co2 at the tailpipe so I guess there are health benefits). But TfL shouldn't be doing this zero emission by 2030 thing, they're going to withdraw buses with plenty of years left in them which will be incredibly wasteful.

I think the Yutong and E400EVs look stunning but the BD11 is just atrocious.

[@MostlyBuses1]

Agreed

[@hamburger7478]

the yutongs ones r awful, especially the rear bit of the lower deck. E400ev new gen is much better

[@MostlyBuses1]

Yeah I'm not too sure on the back. It won't look great in the tfl all red livery. At least the Yutong's back is better than the BYD

[@never4ever386]

The thing is, better specs mean higher prices.

[@MostlyBuses1]

@@never4ever386 well as long as it isn't a waste of time and money like wood effect flooring I would support them. TfL's future spec for buses is pretty nice (except when the new iBus screens fail).

We build BUSES here in the UK as well! What's wrong with this country, no self protection. INVEST in the UK !

[@MostlyBuses1]

The companies that are contracted to run routes in London can decide what buses to get for themselves. And most operators in the UK are still buying from UK bus manufacturers.

[@MostlyBuses1]

I do understand why people think that publicly owned bus companies should try and get buses made in the UK.

[@TrainPlaneFan123]

honestly the yutong looks kinda weird imo

[@MostlyBuses1]

Yeah I can see why you're saying that but tbh I think it could be worse

[@roboko6618]

YuTong looks like it belongs in China more than the UK. The whole design language is foreign and reminds me of those weird Japanese robots.

[@MostlyBuses1]

True, the headlights do make it look a bit foreign here in London but I think the same can be said for the new E400 EV

[@LuanUjupi]

Incase you wanna know, Yutong is from China its the largest bus manufacture in the world however I prefer european buses since their better quality, and I specially dont like BYD because here in belgium it won the order and now our own bus manufacture Vanhool got bankrupt due that, However there were other reasons aswell but that was the biggest impact.

[@tkkbxf]

@@LuanUjupi As someone coming from Hong Kong I agree, Chinese buses won't last long, we had Yutong coaches in HK back in the early 2010s but most of them were withdrawn after 7-9 years because they have a lot of problems and the drivers also didn't like them that much compared to European brands, that's also one reason why buses in HK are mostly based from UK stuff (ADL and Volvo double deckers) until recently with the new BYD electrics, as Chinese products simply can't cope with the demanding operating conditions

[@LuanUjupi]

@@tkkbxf Oh wow, well I dont hate Yutong but I Just dont trust the Quality the bus might be made of due its less stronger than european buses and sometimes they malfuction too fast like BYD buses do, even though technology is very high the product itself should be in good state aswell in my opinion, id rather go for Solaris,VDL,MAN,Ebusco And Mercedes since there buses will at least have more years on the road instead of being stuck on the Depot

[@MostlyBuses1]

@@LuanUjupi Wow I can't believe Van Hool went bankrupt over that. The BYD ADL E400s also feel like they have a pretty bad build quality

@SimonCap Which one - both the Yutong and the BYD are particularly lacking in the good looks department externally....and their interior fitments needed better designs for the people who are going to use them...passengers!

Except they don’t look any different from other modern buses. You‘re doing mental gymnastics trying to discredit it because it‘s Chinese and you don‘t like that. Fact of the matter is, Yutong buses have earned a pretty good reputation overall and are being heavily used in countries like Denmark or Finland. They are here to stay.

​@@MostlyBuses1 I find it to be a general problem with the vast majority of British population, they are emotionally attached to an image of themselves that no longer exist, while being hateful and cynical to anyone that levels or surpasses the UK in terms of technological advancement.
