The well-known bus maker Golden Dragon, based in Xiamen, has rolled out its fifth generation of hybrid buses, combining the strengths of plug-in hybrid vehicles made by Toyota, Honda, Ford and GM.
Chen Dulian, the Technical Director of Golden Dragon reveals, "our new plug-in hybrid bus has inherited all the state-of-art technologies we have mastered in this field. It can cut fuel consumption by 51%."
After initiating the super-capacitor technologies in hybrid buses, Golden Dragon"s plug-in hybrid bus boasts duel electric power source, namely a super capacitor and a lithium battery. Corresponding to the motor"s double winding, the vehicle effectively enhances the motor"s efficiency and shortens the distance for energy transmission, thus improving its overall fuel economy.
Through the intelligence distribution of electric control system, Golden Dragon"s composit energy storage technology provides more flexible space for high-powered lithium battery and super-capacitor to take part in the driving and braking process of the vehicle. In doing so, it enhances the durability of lithium batteries and improves the recycling rate of braking energy. In addition, the bus is capable of operating for over 30 km while wholly powered by electricity.
Currently, Golden Dragon is working extra hard, continuing to take the lead in the field of plug-in hybrid buses.
