Now CRRC EV has formed the product family of 6-12 meter all series based on electric and extended-range plug-in technology platform and has been listed in the state  recommended catalog of new energy vehicle.

 

 

 

In addition, CRRC EV has invested nearly 100 million yuan to build new energy vehicle comprehensive laboratory for “parts-system-vehicle” test and inspection system, and has been approved by China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS) to act as the professional and authoritative test and inspection base in the field of new energy vehicle. 

 

 

 

CRRC EV is the enterprise that undertakes the maximum R&D tasks with respect to the state “863” new energy vehicle, covering such full-depth fields as motor, electronic control, power supply, powertrain integration, electric vehicle integration, electric vehicle test and operation management. CRRC EV has achieved important results ahead of its rivals in the industry with respect to integration motor and drive control system, vehicle electronic control system, bus engineering integration technology and test and inspection platform and so on, and has become the promoter and leader regarding technical progress of new energy vehicle in China.

 

 

CRRC EV has accumulatively invested 400 million yuan for R&D of new energy vehicle high-efficient power-driven system (T-power®), has launched series products to meet different models and has become mainstream products highly praised in the industry.

 

 

Now CRRC EV has possessed 380 patents in the field of new energy vehicle, has taken charge of and participated in formulation of 23 state and industry standards, and has been granted 7 scientific-technical progress awards at the state and provincial/ministerial-level.

 

 

CRRC EV has successively obtained the qualifications of the industrial base of the national high-tech achievements transformation, the base of national torch plan projects achievements transformation, electric vehicle electric drive system engineering center in Hunan Province, key laboratory in Hunan Province, enterprise technology center in Hunan Province and so on, and as one of initiators of Chinese central enterprise electric vehicle industry technology alliance, has led or undertaken the research of more than ten electric vehicle motor generic technology, and has been granted the honorary title “Annual excellent electric vehicle enterprises” for many times. 

 

 

Electric bus technology is granted second prize of the state scientific and technological progress award, extended-range plug-in hybrid city bus and double-source double-charging electric bus are granted the national strategic innovation products by Ministry of Science and Technology, and 8-meter electric vehicle is granted “2015 China's best new energy vehicle model” and “2016 China's recommended new energy vehicle model”.

 

 

New energy vehicle powertrain core products: CRRC TEV has independently developed T-power® high-efficient powertrain series products, has annual production capacity of 20,000 units, can satisfy electric demands for new energy logistics vehicles, sanitation vehicles, special-purpose vehicles and bus models ranging from 6 meters to 18 meters, and also can provide overall technical support.

 

 

New energy vehicle with diversified products: the products cover 6-12m electric vehicles and 8-12m plug-in buses, logistics vehicles and special-purpose vehicles, which are widely used for public transportation, highway, group, tour, city logistics, etc.
