BYD opened its first electric bus manufacturing plant in Lancaster last May, marking the first exclusively Chinese-owned auto manufacturing factory in America.

According to Michael Austin, vice CEO of the factory, the buses delivered on Monday are entirely US-produced, with all the manufacturing and testing processes taking place in the factory and accessories such as chairs and air-conditioners being purchased from the US Mainland.
