Tom1122 Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 I've heard that the BYDs had many units out of service for months while waiting for parts from China. Are the Proterras in the same boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But actually parts shortage is always a problem for both of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H4 5600 Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 I was talking to a supervisor today who told me the BYD's have all been pulled from service until further notice. Anyone know if this is true and what its about? I see some posts about not being able to get parts, is this related to that or is it something else?

Before they were pulled out of service at the end July, there’re six active BYDs so I don’t think it’s related to parts shortage as it’s not easy for six buses to break down in one day. So probably it’s because of other reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s likely there may be operator training on the Xcelsiors in the coming weeks. #3708 just recently did driver training weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started being installed there sometime during the summer I believe. I was working at Birchmount and saw them installing it (i had also overheard other operators talking about it). The location should be at the very back of the garage, somewhere here 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtrazsteve Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 I take it that they are ahead of schedule as new eBuses aren't arriving till second half of 2023 based on the eBus report from the spring. If they are sending XE40s to Birchmount, then they must have settle on not BYD based on charger type and probably not Proterra either given their longer length. If training is happening, perhaps they would procure XE40s for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
