"On the battery side of things, the new platform integrates BYD's Blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) modules directly into the chassis using the so-called cell-to-chassis technology. This means the floor of the bus can be lower because the pack doesn't have to be installed on top of the chassis rails. Going the extra mile is also possible thanks to the impressive 1,000-volt rating of the high-voltage batteries, a first in the bus sector."
"An adaptive suspension system called DiSus-A, borrowed from BYD's passenger EVs, can be fitted to buses riding on the new platform, and there's also a high-speed tire blowout stability system that can react in milliseconds to keep the bus on track during blowouts at speeds of up to 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour), according to the Chinese maker."
BYD's e-Bus Platform 3.0 integrates Blade LFP modules directly into the chassis using cell-to-chassis technology, lowering the bus floor by removing pack placement above chassis rails. The first model, the C11, offers five battery capacities from 184 kWh to 593 kWh, yielding a CLTC-rated range of 136–453 miles, suiting local transit and regional services. The platform uses a 1,000-volt high-voltage architecture enabling potential ultra-fast charging. Optional DiSus-A adaptive suspension adapts ride dynamics, while a high-speed tire blowout stability system responds in milliseconds to maintain control at up to 62 mph. A one-touch stop button lets passengers halt the vehicle if the driver becomes incapacitated.
