比亚迪今年有望在美国卖出200台电动大巴。周一加利福利亚长滩运输署董事会正式宣布与比亚迪北美总部BYD Motors Inc签署10台电动巴士采购合同，并有可能让旗下运输公司再买50辆。

    BYD Co., the Shenzhen-based automaker, projected it will sell as many as 200 electric buses in the United States this year after securing its biggest order from a mass-transit operator.

    The Long Beach Transit Authority on Monday awarded a US$11.7-million contract to Los Angeles-based BYD Motors Inc. to manufacture 10 battery-powered electric buses and charging systems, BYD senior vice president Stella Li said.

    报道中的mass-transit是名词用连字符连接用作定语，mass transit就是“公共交通”，另一种常见的说法是public transport。Mass是“大批、大众的”，transit是“运输、中转”。
