Suncore launches BYD’s electric bus in Korea
[THE INVESTOR] Suncore said on Mar. 7 it has launched the electric bus “eBUS-12” manufactured by China’s electric-car maker BYD.
The company, in charge of the electric bus’s distribution here, held a launch ceremony attended by officials of the Environment Ministry and those from relevant industries.
The eBUS-12 has greatly reduced maintenance costs through its highly efficient battery that does not have to be exchanged as often as in the past, lasting as long as 11 years, Suncore said. It also has lower chances of explosion or catching fire as its lithium iron phosphate battery is more heat-resistant.
“We will work closely with BYD, not only to promote the sales of the eBUS-12, but to provide rapid and smooth services for customers,” Suncore said in a statement.
