Zhongtong LCK6900FCEV
Coated in blue color, LCK6900FCEV easily reminds people of the vast oceans and urges them to adopt an eco-friendly life to protect our environment.
Several state-of-art technologies applied on the vehicle make it a true star in the market. First, it adopts hydrogen-electric hybrid power solutions. When driving at a constant speed, it will be powered by fuel cells. When it needs accelerating and climbing slopes, both its fuel cells and power batteries will be put into use to offer energy for the vehicle. Second, Zhongtong’s whole vehicle controller, which fully demonstrates the company’s strength in the new energy bus manufacturing sector and achieves high compatibility with the vehicle’s power system. On the basis of its previous controller platform, the new whole vehicle controller has added fuel cell electric control, fuel cell loading control, water cooling control and DC fan control.
In addition, LCK6900FCEV is equipped with an independent suspension system, Mobileye intelligent assisting driving system, MULTIC-S intelligent meters, EBS, one-button start-off, and an auxiliary power system, as well as lane deviation alarming system, pedestrian alarming system, safe vehicle distance monitoring system, collision alarming system and traffic sign recognition system. With all these, the bus is becoming smarter and making traveling more enjoyable for passengers.
To make sure the bus achieves the highest safety standards, Zhongtong has taken a series of measures. To start with, hydrogen, the energy source of the vehicle, is safely stored and utilized. Thus, dangerous situations when high temperatures, high pressure, vibration, leakage, and fire are unlikely to occur. Moreover, its power batteries, high-voltage power distribution box, integrated power and other B-level electrical equipment have reached IP67 in protection. In addition, a four-different-level trouble-shooting mechanism has been established for the vehicle’s power batteries and whole vehicle’s safety standards. Finally, its high-voltage system monitors the electric voltage in real-time and its duel power steering system provides an extra layer of protection.
As early as 2015, Zhongtong started researching and developing fuel cell buses. At the end of last year, it successfully released China’s first 9-meter fuel cell bus, LCK6900FCEVG, which soon won recognition among customers. At Tianjin International Bus Exhibition held in April this year, Zhongtong brought its 12-meter hydrogen fuel cell bus LCK6120FCEVG on display, arousing keen interest among visitors.
