Carbridge Pty. Ltd. has begun a six-month electric bus pilot program at Sydney International Airport.  The bus selected for the pilot was made by BYD Company Ltd. The bus will be used as an airport passenger shuttle. 

At a launch ceremony held at Sydney International Airport, BYD Asia Pacific General Manager Liu Xueliang said, "Compared with fossil-fueled buses, BYD's pure electric bus has zero emissions, doesn't make noise and ensures a comfortable ride without disturbances associated with conventional buses of combustion engines.  These characteristics will provide a great experience for visitors to the Airport." Sydney Airport plans to electrify their entire bus fleet in the coming years.
