The Yutong brand has seen significant success in the UK, first with diesel coaches and now with battery-electric buses. Another string to the bow of importer Pelican Bus and Coach are battery-electric coaches, with the initial low-height, two-axle TCe12 soon to be joined by a taller and longer tri-axle GTe14.
In the bus world, the E10 and E12 are similar products that are approximately 10m and 12m long, respectively. They have recently been joined by the smaller E9 and the first U11DD double-decker will arrive here soon. The E9, E10 and E12 are all in service in Leicester. Here is an E10 in the Centrebus fleet, 853 (YD72 FFX), operating one of the city's Greenlines services that are among the benefits to have already come out of the successful enhanced partnership involving Leicester City Council and operators.
These E10s were the first Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas part-funded models to enter service anywhere in England and are part of a much wider conversion of fleets in Leicester to battery-electric. Here it passes the railway station while working an 81 journey to Evington.

It felt like a dream sequence.
With thousands of incoming requests, I happened to be at the right place at the right time to sign up for the first Tesla Model S Sedan, a fully electric, zero emissions car that can go 300 miles and 0-60 in 5.6 seconds.
(The “S-1” designation is a bit magical for me since the filing of a “Form S-1” with the SEC is the commencement of the IPO process. =)
After the car drove out into the party inside the SpaceX rocket plant for it’s public unveiling, Elon Musk took me for the first test drive of the new machine. I took a video of the whole ride.
One cool detail I missed in the video was the door handles extending linearly outward (providing a big grip for opening) and then retracting back into the door frame for a perfectly smooth surface.
The interior design is as radical as the iPhone; most of the dash is a 17" touch screen. There are no buttons or dials. And with a software-defined UI, various skins and web services are available over the 3G data link (as well as Internet browsing and HDTV). I’ll put another request in for an open interface for downloadable engine ring tones (the car is silent, so why not have the drive-by-wire data feed trigger the sounds of your favorite vintage gas-passing vehicle or rocket…)
The batteries and liquid-cooled AC induction motor (i.e., the entire weight of the drive train) are below the wheel line so it handles unlike any car I have experienced.
And that means that there is a trunk in front and in back and more interior space than any other sedan. Toss bikes with the wheels on through the hatchback. Or seat seven people.
Clearly I am enamored. Another short video from outside as the new customers for the Sedan take test drives around the block.

First Leeds 68803, Yutong E10 (116 Leeds)
Following the closure of Yorkshire Buses, First Leeds have stepped in to run the 116 Wakefield to Leeds service.
As well as the more numerous BD11 double-deck model, BYD has begun to put its single-deck battery-electric range into the market. Uno Buses was the first operator to take the range with 12m B12 variants, while in London, Arriva and Metroline are early customers. Those with Arriva appear to be slightly shorter B11 examples. Here EYX7 (LA75 ZDH) is seen near to East Croydon railway station while working a 312 journey to Purley.

- Special Roland Garros version, produced for the 50th anniversary of the R5
- Superb, unique colour combination, beautifully executed
- Homologated for road use in France
When EV ‘retrofit’ conversions were authorised in France, in 2020, Renault became interested and partnered with R-Fit, a pioneer in the field, to develop kits to convert an ICE model into an electric car. The kits were sold by the Méhari Club de Cassis and were subsequently homologated for use on the road. One of them was for the Renault 5: developing 30bhp and keeping the original gearbox, it offered a range of 80km.
In 2022, Renault seized a double opportunity – on the one hand, its new partnership with the Roland Garros tennis tournament, and on the other, the 50th anniversary of the Renault 5 – to convert a few R5 GTLs into electric cars for use as official shuttles to transport players and members of the organising staff. The interior design was entrusted to Renault Design, who selected fabrics and materials regardless of cost.
Finished in canary yellow, this three-door R5 R-Fit has special blue cloth upholstery with yellow piping which is also to be found on the door cards, while the base and back of the seats are trimmed in grey to match the white dashboard. Yellow carpets and a dark blue headlining with black flame motifs round off this spectacular interior. The body carries the official tournament logos, while under the bonnet sits the electric motor, with a badge on top marked ‘Renault 5, 50’. This rare and exclusive version of the Renault 5, the sixth-bestselling car in France with more than 5 million units sold, is sure to appeal to enthusiasts. It has the advantage of having been customized by the Renault Design staff regardless of cost and of being homologated for road use in France.
Tricks of wartime.
War put an end to jaunts in motor cars and petrol galore. Would things ever be the same again ? Peugeot designed and produced this little city two-seater. With its four batteries the VLV was supposed to cover 70 km between the recharges at a maximum speed of 30 km/h.

A visitor to Glasgow for the COP26 conference photographs an electric bus and its driver. The bus is parked on a normally busy road, but which has been blocked for the conference, so standing in the road is nothing to worry about.
I'm no bus expert, but this seems to be one of the 22 BYD ADL Enviro200EV eBuses from First Glasgow’s shuttle service at COP26.
The security fence round the conference venue can be seen in the distance.
In the relatively calm surrounds of Solihull Town Centre, with not a soul to be seen, is an equally quiet sounding electric powered Alexander Dennis BYD double decker.
Named 'Ivy Wren', in it's sixth day of service, E005 is one of nineteen of the type allocated to Yardley Wood from July 2020 to primarily work the 6 route.
