Our journalist came to Tianjin Yuanye Passenger Transportation Company on December 1, 2009. A line of streamline handsome buses attracted us. It’s learned that these are what we are here to cover, Dandong Huanghai DD6119K01 bus.
Huanghai buses in Tianjin
Qu Yongbo, General Manger of Dandong Huanghai Marketing Company, was quoted as saying that DD6119K01, winning 2008 China High Level Fine Buses, is one of their competitive products. Inherited from MAN’s craftsmanship and process flow, the bus is advantageous in many aspects, including process control, detect standards, especially on accuracy of manufacturer, appearance planeness, leak tightness, antisepsis, noise reduction, installation and protection of pipeline etc.
When enquiring about performance of the vehicle, he told us that max power is 206kW and fuel consumption per one hundred kilometers are 25L, but actually, most drivers are fond of driving the vehicle for 3~4 liter fuel can be saved per hundred kilometers, in this way, nearly a thousand yuan can be saved.
The bus is equipped with China-made high power engine and Huanghai chassis with high torque, low noise which is suitable for highway tourism coaches. Exported gearbox has low noise and longer useful time; retarder is added to rear-end of the gearbox to guarantee safe driving and reduce renewal periods of braking friction block. Air intake system and exhaust system are designed integrally with over-striking pipelines to cut resistance of air in the passages. The complete vehicle was under optimization design, and finite element analysis was adopted in body and chassis to reduce weight of the vehicle on the basis of strength of the complete vehicle. Professional software is used to calculate the transmission system to match the vehicle operation with engine.
It’s learned that if new buses are needed, Huanghai bus will be their first choice.
Firstly, the bus has good economical efficiency. The low fuel consumption vehicle can largely reduce their operational costs on the basis of dynamic property as well as passenger loads.
Second, electrical store is equipped under the driver seat, so major electrical equipment control element is put here to make integrating design and access door outside the bus to facilitate maintenance and operations. Starting switch shut down switch and work lamp socket are placed in the engine store. Waterproof treatment is made on wiring harness and lamps and lanterns to lift safety working environment.
Third, all time follow up services. Huanghai bus has dispatched technicians to stay in Tianjin for necessary maintenance of Huanghai buses.
Fourth, feedback from passengers. Passengers prefer the vehicle due to its human-oriented design. All aluminum door and internal seal door, remote control keyless inlet system and marked emergent air cut valve. The light bright style inner trims and soften modeling interior trim parts, adding inner color and harmony lighting can effectively reduce visual exhaust when traveling.
