How far is 5 years? For the trendy new energy vehicle market, 5 years can already witness the changes of the times. From 5 years ago to the present, the new energy bus industry in mainland China has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the green intelligent transportation solution independently developed by CRRC Electric has also made outstanding contributions.
01 Pure electric, plug-in, hydrogen fuel full layout to promote green travel
As early as 2002, CRRC Electric cooperated with Tsinghua University and other universities to develop pure electric buses, fuel cell buses, parallel hybrids, tandem hybrids and other system prototypes.
On October 20, 2017, at the Belgian Motor Show, CRRC Electric released the "ACE Green Intelligent Transportation Solution", which brings together CRRC's active exploration in the field of global public transportation, integrates autonomous driving, intelligent interconnection and electrification technologies, covering high-speed rail, intercity railway, low-speed maglev, subway, light rail, tourist commuter bus, trunk bus, regional bus bus, micro-circulation bus and other fields, forming a comprehensive solution for new energy transportation.
The release of the "ACE Green Intelligent Transportation Program" means that CRRC Electric has clarified the future development direction, which is an important node in the history of CRRC Electric Development, from the release of the program to the present, CRRC Electric has continuously upgraded and enriched its own product lines, and has now completed the full layout of pure electric, hybrid and hydrogen fuels.
In the pure electric bus market, CRRC Electric's product spectrum is becoming more and more complete, forming 5-18 meters of "future X series", "city C series", "Shanshui M series", "micro-passenger V series", "city EMU K series", "new era urban wisdom beautician" and other series of products, CRRC electric pure electric bus can achieve zero emissions, no pollution, product technology, reliable quality, with green, energy saving and environmental protection, strong power, safety and stability, long life and other outstanding characteristics.
In the plug-in hybrid market, CRRC Electric's extended-range plug-in city bus P10 can achieve an average annual fuel saving of more than 80,000 yuan and an annual maintenance cost of 0.3 million yuan.
In the hydrogen fuel market, CRRC Electric successfully developed a series of hydrogen fuel cell buses with intelligent driving assistance functions in 2018; in 2019, a new generation of fuel cell buses equipped with the T6 platform was delivered to customers for operation; in early 2020, the first hydrogen fuel cell bus jointly developed by rolled off the production line in Ningbo.
At present, CRRC Electric's pure electric, plug-in, hydrogen fuel-related models have been widely promoted and applied, the actual line operation is stable, the energy-saving effect is remarkable, and it has brought economic, social and environmental benefits to win-win.
02 Repeatedly won big orders! The cumulative sales volume of new energy products exceeded 55,000 units
The complete product category and excellent product quality make CRRC Electric more favored by the market and repeatedly harvest large orders, such as the beginning of 2021, CRRC Electric has harvested nearly a thousand pure electric buses in Shenyang, becoming a powerful responsibility for local green public travel.
In the plug-in hybrid market, CRRC Electric has also won thousands of large orders: at the end of 2020, CRRC Electric 1063 new buses were delivered to Chongqing, including 1018 plug-in hybrid buses and 45 pure electric buses, these more than 1,000 new buses will serve more than 300 bus routes in Chongqing, the order set a record for the three Chongqing in one fell swoop - the largest single new energy bus purchase order, the largest batch of urban buses on the line at the same time, the most operating lines.
It is understood that CRRC Electric has accumulated sales of more than 55,000 new energy vehicle products, 170,000 sets of electric drive systems, products covering 31 provinces (municipalities directly under the central government, autonomous regions), and there are large quantities of orders to fully enter Hainan, Heilongjiang, Guizhou and other "high temperature, high cold, high humidity" areas.
CrRC Electric's "popularity" is not limited to the domestic market, in terms of overseas market development, CRRC Electric actively responds to the national "Belt and Road" initiative, adopts the development strategy of going hand in hand with the chassis business, and has successfully entered New Zealand, France, South Korea, Hungary, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and other overseas markets.
In the future, CRRC Electric will, as always, empower green transportation with "high-speed rail quality", base itself on Hunan, serve the world, and contribute CRRC's wisdom and strength to the realization of the "double carbon" goal and the transportation power strategy.
