In this regard, Alexandria Governor Mohamed Sultan said: 'In recent years, BYD's reputation in the field of global electric public transport in a leading position in the world, the use of electric buses will be a new beginning and attempt to Egypt's new energy transport Of the promotion and sustainable development has played a historic role in promoting and we hope to work together with BYD to improve the urban transport environment and open up a new future.
Alexander is a famous city with more than 2300 years of history, the outskirts of many historical sites, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the lighthouse of Alexandria is on the island of Faros.EgyptSpecial local natural environment, coupled with second-hand cars, diesel vehicles, etc. Large-displacement vehicles have long posed the problem of environmental pollution such as exhaust emissions, etc. In order to create a healthier and more comfortable urban environment for local citizens and tourists as well as enhance the image of tourist cities, the local government is determined to actively promote green and environment-friendly new energy vehicles.
This time, Egypt is also BYD K9 'lap'
K9, is BYD 'expedition' to all countries in the world market, to promote global motorized electric 'sharp weapon.' Last month, BYD in Okinawa, Japan again delivered a pure electric bus is K9, more and more to make its reputation in the field of global electric bus.
