Oakland International Airport (OAK) in Alameda, California is helping stressed-out air passengers breathe a little bit easier with the introduction of five new battery-electric K9MD shuttle buses to its ground equipment fleet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Global EV leaders BYD aren\u2019t coming to America<\/a> \u2013\u00a0the Chinese brand is already here. The company has been building EVs in its $250 million, 106,000 square foot production facility in Lancaster, California since 2014<\/a>, delivering hundreds of battery-electric buses to fleets across the world. With this order of five new K9MD buses, OAK becomes the latest airport to turn to BYD Ride to help electrify its ground operations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe applaud Oakland Airport and their commitment to electrifying its fleet,\u201d said Jason Yan, Vice President of Sales, West Region and National Account at Ride. \u201c[BYD] Ride is thrilled to partner with OAK to offer sustainable transportation solutions that benefit both the environment and the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The K9MD buses seat up to 42 passengers and have a 208 mile operating range from a 352 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. That battery is backed by a 12-year warranty to help keep fiscally conservative fleet buyers at ease, while the smooth, quiet, and electric drive keeps the fleet\u2019s operators happy, too.<\/p>\n

The people live and work near airports are exposed to more emissions than most<\/a> \u2013\u00a0and that includes kids, the elderly \u2026 even their pets. Electrifying the assets that operate in those spaces pays huge and immediate dividends in terms of the public health of some of the most vulnerable populations.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s as good a place as any to start. Let\u2019s go.<\/p>\n
