BYD announced that Howard County Transit, a division of the Regional Transit Authority of Central Maryland (RTA), received delivery of three, 35-foot BYD K9S battery-electric, zero-emission buses. These are the first zero-emission electric transit buses in Maryland.
A cutting-edge inductive charging station will be installed on the Green Line in downtown Columbia, Md., one of America’s most successful planned communities. As the bus drives over this and pauses, this system will give the batteries a quick boost of energy through electromagnetic induction, all without making any direct contact with the bus.
