The City of São Paulo introduced a fleet of 500 new battery-electric buses on June 26, with 265 of them supplied by BYD - the single largest contributor to the rollout. The additions lift the municipal electric bus fleet to 1,759 vehicles, the largest in Brazil, as the city commits to ending diesel bus purchases. Brazil also extended its tax exemption on imported vehicle kits for another six months from July 1, letting BYD keep shipping components duty-free while it ramps local production at its Camacari plant.
