As an electric bus, the safety of the vehicle is very important. At the previous press conference, Hon Hai said that the Model T pure electric bus has completed the 200,000-kilometer acceleration endurance test and the rigid strength test of more than 1,000 hours, and the body deformation caused by removing the counterweight is less than 1 mm in the case of the vehicle bearing 10 tons. In addition, the car is also equipped with a tiltable electronic pneumatic suspension system and an inner wheel differential warning system, which can solve the roll problem caused by large buses when turning to the greatest extent.
In terms of power, the Model T pure electric bus will be equipped with a drive motor with a maximum output of 260 kW and a maximum speed of 120 km/h. In terms of batteries, a safer lithium iron phosphate battery is used, with a maximum cruising range of 400km.
