The BYD Auto C10M is a 45-foot (13.7-metre), battery-electric motorcoach sold in Canada and the United States. It was introduced at the 2017 United Motorcoach Association Expo in St. Louis, Missouri[1] and made a wider debut at the 2017 American Public Transportation Association Expo in Atlanta, Georgia.
The C10M can travel approximately 200 miles on a single charge.[1] The coach uses BYD's lithium iron phosphate batteries and can be fully recharged in one to one-and-a-half hours. The styling of the exterior is inline with that of BYD's other buses sold in North America.
