Chinese Automaker Ends Contract to Build 10 Electric Buses

BYD Motors said the Federal Transit Administration withdrew funding for the contract.

Long Beach Transit and Chinese automaker BYD Motors agreed to end a contract for 10 electric buses, BYD announced today.

BYD said the Federal Transit Administration withdrew funding for the contract as a result of a good faith error in BYD's pre-bid disadvantaged business program certification in February 2013.

BYD said it was eligible to participate in any future contract funded by the FTA.
