Equipped with the core technologies for bullet trains, C12 electric city bus now represents the highest bus manufacturing technologies of CRRC Times Electric with its fifth generation T-power system. Measuring 12 meters in length, the vehicle has passed EU high-speed railway level new energy vehicle certification. The highly integrated, standardized, modularized and intelligent fifth generation T-power system has cut the vehicle’s weight by 33% and is able to lower energy consumption by 52%. Boasting high intelligence and high reliability, the vehicle can be fully recharged in one hour thanks to the direct current (DC) double gun recharging technology. Once fully recharged, the vehicle is able to drive 260 kilometers.
