 Transdev Melbourne was chosen to receive Victoria's first electric bus, a Volgren Optimus bodied BYD D9RA, 3000 (BS05MR). It is seen performing on the 246, crossing High Street in February 2020. The livery has been modified to relay its green credentials. Australia is some way behind in greening its buses, CNG power being the exception. A small batch of four Gemilang bodied BYD buses entered service in Sydney in May 2019, there are more with Carbridge at Sydney Airport and the much earlier Adelaide experiment with their solar powered Designline bus.
