Shenzhen Wuzhoulong Electric Bus Powered by Batteries from Boston

2014-04-17    
On 2nd China Information Technology Expo (CITE) recently held in Shenzhen, the booth of Shenzhen Wuzhoulong Motors Group was crowded with visitors from across the globe. After over one year’s cooperation with a Boston-based battery producer on research and development, Wuzhoulong pure electric bus, which has been put on Shenzhen bus route M375, have delivered an impressive performance: it only needs charging after running on the route for twelve times. In sharp contrast, the normal electric bus usually has to be recharged after operation on the route for three times.

On 2nd China Information Technology Expo (CITE) recently held in Shenzhen, the booth of Shenzhen Wuzhoulong Motors Group was crowded with visitors from across the globe. After over one year’s cooperation with a Boston-based battery producer on research and development, Wuzhoulong pure electric bus, which has been put on Shenzhen bus route M375, have delivered an impressive performance: it only needs charging after running on the route for twelve times. In sharp contrast, the normal electric bus usually has to be recharged after operation on the route for three times.


It is reported that bus route M375 in Shenzhen runs for 22.5 km for one-way trip. In its trial operation after being fully charged, Wuzhoulong electric bus powered by batteries from Boston can operate for twelve round trips in two days without air-conditioning and with a load of 2,700 kg. Then, after running for 268 km, the bus still has 25% energy left. 


After over one year’s research and development, Wuzhoulong and Boston-based battery producer jointly developed 12-meter pure electric buses equipped with high-energy-density battery package made of ternary materials. With a total power of 245kwh and an energy density of 116wh/kg, the bus is theoretically capable of traveling over 400 km. While in operation under various road conditions, it can still working for over 360 km.
