Transit Systems | BYD electric buses

 Transit Systems was an enthusiastic proponent of electric buses, building an early fleet of Gemilang bodied BYD K9RA buses. The bodywork mirrored that purchased on their Scania and Mercedes diesels. Seen at Sydney Central in December 2019 is 8105 (MO8105), new ealier in the year. The bus is on Metrobus route M10, which has since been renumbered along with all other M-prefixed routes, though red Metrobus buses will doubtless live a meaningless existence for several years.

 A year on and Nexport branded 8364 (MO8364) is in the CBD heading for Glebe Point. Nexport has set itself up as an Australian based company supplying zero emission buses and coaches. Quite clearly this is another Gemilang Eco Bus bodied BYD D9RA. Nexport also announced a deal with Alexander Dennis in the UK, but no products had entered service by 2025.
