SevenEleven Posted March 27, 2014 Share #1 Posted March 27, 2014 California-based Long Beach Public Transportation Company (LBT) agreed Thursday to mutually terminate an agreement with electric bus manufacturer BYD Motors Inc. to build battery-operated electric buses for the transit company.

The FTA had earlier notified LBT that BYD Motors submitted an invalid Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) certification during the procurement process leading to the original April 29, 2013 agreement, and that the contract between LBT and BYD Motors Inc. was therefore not eligible for federal funding.
