The '''[[BYD Auto]] K11M''', also called the "'''Lancaster'''", is a low floor, articulated battery-electic transit bus. It can be fully charged in two to three hours and can travel a distance of 273.5 kilometres in an urban environment. The bus was launched at the 2014 American Public Transportation Association Expo in Houston, Texas.
The '''[[BYD Auto]] K11M''', also called the "'''Lancaster'''", is a low floor, [[Articulated Bus|articulated]] battery-electric transit bus. The bus was launched at the 2014 American Public Transportation Association Expo in Houston, Texas. The first customer to take delivery of the 60-foot electric bus was the [[Antelope Valley Transit Authority]] in May 2017. The 13 buses are part of their campaign to fully electrify its fleet by 2018.<ref>[http://www.metro-magazine.com/sustainability/news/722308/byd-avta-unveil-first-60-ft-articulated-battery-electric-bus BYD, AVTA unveil first 60-ft. artic battery-electric bus]. 04 May 2017. ''Metro Magazine''.</ref>


Like the 12-metre [[BYD Auto K9]], the K11M uses in-wheel traction motors (on the 'C' axle) and iron-phosphate batteries. Its outward appearance is quite different at the front and rear ends along with a more rounded roofline.
Initially, the K11M promised a range of 170 to 200 miles or 273 to 321 kilometres in an urban environment. It could be fully charged in two to three hours.<ref>Kane, Mark. “ BYD Unveils World's Biggest Electric Bus.” InsideEVs, 19 October 2014.</ref><ref>”First 60-Foot Articulated Battery-Electric Bus in North America Hits the Streets in Antelope Valley, California.” BYD USA, 09 May 2017.</ref> By 2019, a high capacity battery option was available and increased the range to 220 miles or 354 kilometres. Though by 2021, specifications advertised a revised working range of 193 miles or 311 kilometres.

The outward appearance was quite different from the K9 at the front and rear ends along with a more rounded roofline. On production buses, the appearance of the K11M is in line with BYD’s K9MC and K9S.
