The haze in 2013 Spring makes the focus of energy saving and emission reduction of automobiles. The promotion of new-energy buses becomes extremely urgent.
It"s well known the limitation of technology and immaturity of market impede the development of electric buses. Different from other bus manufacturers, Hengtong overcomes all difficulties to develop electric buses in Chongqing.
In central downtown there are 800 hybrid city buses and 31 pure-electric ones. It"s said 1000 fast-charging electric city buses will be added.
Fast-charging electric city buses are developing fast in Chongqing, thanks to the 10-minute fast-charging technology. Besides Chongqing, Hengtong is promoting electric city buses in Deyang, Guiyang and Zunyi, etc.
Deputy General Manager of Hengtong Electric Bus Power System Company Tian Ye told the reporter that this bus is 40% more powerful than regular ones, suitable for mountainous road condition in Chongqing and is energy efficient. Low noise and comfort are highly recognized as well.
Safety is another advantage of Hengtong electric bus. The company develops a full-range surveillance system to monitor the condition of the bus.
Despite all the advantages of electric buses-low emission, low consumption and high efficiency, only a few electric bus manufacturers can survive the market, due to the lack of capital. Hengtong makes an good example. Meanwhile, the support from national policies is more important.
