The spring breeze is warm and all things are glorious, and time lives up to the dreamers. In this hopeful spring, the development of China's bus industry is full of momentum, showing strong endogenous power and growth potential.
With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the continuous improvement of new energy technology, the trend of new energy buses is gradually prominent, and it is becoming the preferred solution for diversified travel scenarios such as tourism and commuting. As the backbone of the bus industry, Yutong Bus relies on keen market insight to accurately explore the advantages and pain points of new energy buses in the tourist passenger transport market, and find a "balance point" for development.
Under the strong empowerment of the "new three electrics" technology, Yutong Bus has brought customers new energy bus products with lower energy consumption, longer battery life, faster power replenishment and better operation, which not only meets the diversified needs of the market, but also leads the entire industry to move steadily in a greener and smarter direction.
Insight into "time and situation" and exploration of "balance point"
"The road is also a trip to the world. "Green and low-carbon development is related to the success of high-quality economic development, the true color of ecological environmental protection, and the background color of people's livelihood and well-being. Promoting green and low-carbon development is not only the proper meaning of an automobile power, but also the only way to achieve the "dual carbon" goal in the transportation field.
At the policy level, the national and local governments have successively issued a number of policies to promote the application of new energy vehicles, guide the development of new energy vehicles to standardization and high-end, encourage the transformation and upgrading of the new energy vehicle industry, improve quality and efficiency, and provide a good environment for the development of new energy buses.
At the actual operation level, the new energy bus has won wide recognition and praise from the industry for its outstanding performance. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, new energy buses are quieter and smoother in operation, which can create a more comfortable riding experience. In addition, the lower life cycle cost of pure electric buses has become a key factor for operating enterprises to choose new energy buses.
Under the superposition effect of multiple benefits, new energy buses have created a "strong magnetic field" for high-quality development, especially in the field of public transportation, which has firmly occupied a place. However, in flexible operation route scenarios such as tourism, the shortcomings of new energy buses, such as "range anxiety", low charging efficiency, and insufficient luggage compartment space, also make many operators timid.
In order to overcome these problems and promote more enterprises to go "green", Yutong Bus has devoted itself to developing a new energy "three electrics" system that leads the industry, which not only solves the bottleneck of industry development, but also leads road travel to accelerate towards a "new" era.
Play the "innovation card" and take the "pragmatic road"
Pursuit, arrival, and re-departure, the pace of Yutong people has never stopped. Especially in the field of new energy, they have long been ready to forge ahead, and are determined to move forward bravely on this road and continue to innovate.
It is based on this belief and responsibility that Yutong invested 1 billion yuan to establish the industry's first new energy engineering technology center. The center not only has the largest environmental simulation laboratory in China, but also the largest professional test site for commercial vehicles of nearly 60,000 square meters. At the same time, Yutong Bus has always regarded R&D and innovation as the core driving force for enterprise development, and its R&D investment has been maintained at more than 7% of operating income, and the quality inspection and control standards are as high as more than 50,000.
In order to further enhance the core competitiveness of new energy technology, Yutong Bus has actively carried out in-depth cooperation with well-known brands such as CATL, jointly developed and innovated, established independent and controllable industrial chain capabilities, and obtained a total of 4,316 authorized patents, ranking first in the industry in terms of the number of new energy patents and the number of authorized patents.
In the face of the current complex and changeable market situation, Yutong has created more practical new energy vehicle products for customers with the support of the new generation of "three electrics" system. Among them, Yutong's new generation of highly integrated high-energy batteries has increased the volume energy density of the battery pack by 38%, reaching the top level in the industry, with a maximum weight reduction of 400kg and space savings of 40%, which meets the needs of longer mileage, and the anti-corrosion and anti-aging ability of the battery throughout its life cycle has been significantly enhanced, taking the lead in launching battery products of 1 million kilometers in 10 years and 1.5 million kilometers in 15 years, bringing longer operation cycles and rich benefits to operating enterprises.
As a new generation of high-efficiency, lightweight integrated electric drive axle, Yutong E-drive system has the advantages of high reliability and high performance, which greatly improves vehicle attendance and ensures operational benefits. At the same time, the system achieves a weight reduction of more than 49%, a 30% reduction in chassis space, an efficiency of more than 95%, and a braking energy recovery efficiency of 77%, providing strong support for the vehicle to reduce consumption and improve battery life.
In addition, Yutong's all-in-one silicon carbide controller can use every kilowatt-hour of electricity to the extreme, allowing the vehicle to save power and run farther. The application of multi-source ultra-low temperature heat pump for commercial vehicles realizes the stable operation of the whole vehicle in the severe cold environment of minus 40 °C and high temperature of 60 °C. The high-efficiency energy replenishment technology realizes "one meal, full of electricity". Taking Yutong C12E 2024 310 kWh as an example, the charge state is increased from 20% to 80% in just 38 minutes.
With continuous investment and unremitting pursuit, Yutong has achieved remarkable results in the field of new energy buses. Over the years, Yutong's global bus sales have ranked first, and its cumulative sales of new energy buses are as high as 180,000 units, fully demonstrating Yutong's strong strength and excellent quality in the field of new energy.
Dig deep into "green value" and help "carbon roadgoers"
