Budapest public transport company leases five K9 electric buses from BYD of China reported city officials.

The 12-meter-long low-floor urban K9 electric buses were already tested by Budapest public transport company in the past year. Then, it was found that the well-built, high-tech buses produced by BYD have the potential to conquer the entire world.

In Europe alone, more than one hundred K9 electric buses are in circulation. Most recently, Amsterdam Schiphol International Airport replaced its old bus fleet with BYD electric buses.
