BYD K10MR is an electric bus built specifically for RTD's 16th Street Mall service, called Free MallRide, in Denver, CO.
Design[]
The BYD 10KMR is a modified version of the BYD 10K. The bus has 3 boarding doors and is right-hand drive.[2]
Denver RDT[]
In August 2015, RTD approved a contract for up to $27.1 million to purchase a fleet of 36 all-electric buses from BYD.[3] At the end of August 2016, the first new BYD bus was introduced at an early-morning media event, and to the public later in the day, with transition to the new electric bus fleet expected in the coming weeks.[4]
