A promotion of Yutong’s integrated solution program of electric city buses was held in Zhengzhou on Apr. 17, 2015. Zhu Guanghai, deputy director of National Research Center on Electronic Control & Safety Engineering Technology of Electric Buses, and deputy director of New Energy Technology Dept. of Yutong Bus, demonstrated the high reliability and safety standards of Yutong electric buses through substantial data.

Equipped with annular frame member structure, Yutong electric buses are less prone to deformation after collision. With high anti-rollover safety standards, Yutong E7 has upped its rollover angle to 45 degrees, way above the 28 degrees, the national standard set by the government. In addition, Yutong electric bus has reached IP67 in its protection level and is able to wade in a water level, which is higher than that of the conventional buses. The bus maker also provides five-year warranty and eight-year extended warranty for the batteries of its electric vehicles. Moreover, its battery can still store no less than 70% of energy after recharging and discharging for 4,000 times.

According to the customers’ specific demands, Yutong is able to provide a variety of electric buses which boast a continuous driving mileage from 100 kilometers to 400 kilometers. Suitable for running on all normal road conditions, Yutong electric buses have a whole range of power driveline available. It only takes 8.22 seconds for Yutong E7 to reach a speed of 50 kilometers per hour from a standstill. The vehicle also has no problem at all for running up a slope with 20% gradient. According to Zhu Guanghai, the data above have already indicated that Yutong electric buses have reached maturity for all-out marketization.

Apart from its high safety standards and high reliability, Yutong electric buses also achieve high customer satisfaction in terms of its operating costs. Foshan Xinxieli Automobile Transportation Company has 30 units of Yutong electric buses in operation. Measuring eight-meters in length, the bus helps Xinxieli cut operating costs by 0.58 RMB per kilometer.

In an effort to fully solve customers’ concerns, Yutong thus comes up with an integrated electric bus operation solution, which includes four independent programs, namely E-products, Easy Compatibility, Eased Services and Efficient Financing Plans.

E-products put emphasis on technological level. With convincing data and high standards, the buses deliver highly impressive performances which drive away customers’ concerns for the safety and reliability of electric buses. Easy Compatibility solves the challenges of energy recharging faced by many electric buses at current stage. Yutong electric buses can freely choose to be recharged in the slow manner, quick manner or battery replacement. In addition, the bus maker also helps its customers build recharging stations. Eased Services, such as five-year warranty and eight-year extended warranty of the vehicles’ key spare parts, fully demonstrate the company’s commitment to providing its customers with unparalleled services. The bus maker also promises to deliver the key spare parts within one day. What’s more, Yutong also offers all possible assistances to its customers for applying for government subsidies. Yutong’s Efficient Financing Plans greatly helps those customers in short of cash and thus speeds up the application of electric buses.
