"....Of the 360 new electric buses bought in the latest tender, 240 of them will be supplied by Chinese automaker BYD at a contract sum of $108.1 million. ....The other contract went to Cycle & Carriage Automotive, which is partnering with another Chinese manufacturer, Zhongtong Bus, to supply 120 electric buses at a sum of $58.3 million..."

Someone told me the US gov isn't happy with SG's decision. Big Grin

Yeah - 1st time I saw a electric bus, I was very surprised how fast it pick up speed almost silently at the bus stop....Minus the roar of turbo diesel engine and fume we often associate with public buses... Major con is the e-bus acceleration can be potential hazard for pax...

Can software controlled with acceleration pick up rate. Nowadays everything digital, easily controlled .... on worry is when in crashes .... in both sense  Rotfl

Maybe the M'sian media is using SG e.g. to put pressure on Bolehland Gov to move faster towards electrification in their pubic transport - Which everyone knows is damn Xiaxue... Big Grin

When these buses arrive, ermaos probably will hv these thinkings:

1. These are ccpie bus, dun take, wait for the next ones. Unfortunately next ones are aso ccpie buses, so they end up taking grab

2. Take lah, since these buses are made by hardworking ahtiongs, not ccpie commies. And nobody knows and nobody cares.

My Malaysian friends told me EV is too expensive for their commoners. 
And the EV charging stations are to few and insufficient to cover their long highways.

Not possible at all. Plus the proton car is damn cheap to stop buying.. Big Grin

Your M'sian friend is saying the same thing as the Americans are ....EV too ex, few charging stations, oil and ICE vehicles price (subsidised) dame cheap..

I can understand that given Bolehland industry depends on both  making cars and pumping oil. Big Grin 

Nevermind the fact we know the tide of moving beyond carbon-based energy is an unstoppable trend.

BYD shared its EV buses rolling out from its factory in 8 years ago in 2015....

In that year, the World hardly heard of the brand...

Manthink

29-11-2023, 12:19 PM
NOW in 2023....SGreans got to wake up that BYD can do crazy good EV sedans too...as they found out in this drag-race at Changi exhibition centre...

With performance that equal or even BEAT super cars from Nissan GTR, Porsche Cayman and the Lamborghini Hurac....at much much "affordable" price. Big Grin

To be fair - electric motor is naturally for more powerful and torqey than similar mass ICE engines
