SPAIN
BYD and Castrosua have announced a new collaboration to build 12-metre eBuses for the Spanish market, combining BYD’s chassis and electric powertrain with Castrosua bodywork to offer a solution the manufacturer says will deliver a tailor-made product to local customers in Spain.
Javier Contijoch, BYD Europe eBus Vice President of Sales, said: “It is a great honour for BYD to bring the world’s leading technology to Spain and start the partnership with Castrosua. We highly value our local partnerships and it is especially significant that the tailor-made eBuses will be manufactured locally in Spain, for Spanish customers. Together we are poised to expand zero-emission electric bus fleets throughout Spain to provide a cleaner environment for Spanish people. BYD firmly believes in the benefits of collaboration to accelerate the transition to electrification, and we welcome the opportunity to partner with other respected bus bodywork specialists in Europe.”
Beatriz Castro, CEO of Castrosua, added: “Castrosua is delighted to reach this agreement forming a strategic partnership with globally renowned BYD for the manufacture of urban and commuter electric buses. Castrosua and BYD will combine their strengths with the clear objective of offering customers highly personalised and innovative electric bus solutions. Together we continue to support e-mobility, meeting customers’ specific needs, through a service that will benefit from the experience and professionalism of both our teams.”
