On August 15, a number of journalists from the state media paid a visit to CRRC Electric, taking a closer look at CRRC’s new generation intelligent bus and its smart factory. Organized by State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the media attended the event include People’s Daily, Xinhua News Agency, CCTV, Economic Daily, Worker’s Daily, etc.
Based on the definition given by NHTSA, the first generation of intelligent vehicles, falling into the assisting driving technology category, only has lane deviation alarming system, front collision alarming system. In comparison, the second generation intelligent vehicles are capable of performing some complex tasks, such as automatic driving and automatic braking. Thus, they fall into semi-driver-less technology.
The third generation intelligent vehicles do not need any drivers. Their intelligent systems can automatically direct the vehicles based on the surrounding environment and perform a series of complex tasks. Without drivers, the third generation intelligent vehicles achieve even higher safety standards. Currently, only a few companies have mastered the technology.
CRRC Electric’s third generation intelligent bus, measuring 12 meters in length, has not only realized driver-less driving, it has also achieved zero-emission standards by adopting an electric driving system. With such state-of-art technologies and futuristic designs, the vehicle is indisputably a trend-setter in global intelligent vehicle market.
Witnessed by all journalists, CRRC Electric’s third generation intelligent bus drove nearly three kilometers. Without the help of any drivers, the vehicle drove smoothly with detailed data on its dashboard. “We feel like in a Si-fi movie”, exclaimed some journalists.
It is revealed that CRRC Electric has been developing the vehicle for over two years. Have successfully passed a series of stringent tests under numerous harsh road and weather conditions, the vehicle is set to make big splashes in the global vehicle market.
After taking a ride on CRRC Electric’s third generation intelligent bus, journalists paid a special visit to the smart factory of CRRC Electric. Once entering its assembly workshop, journalists could see CRRC Electric’s lean production management system---MES. This can collect production data from the bottom and deliver them to the very top of the corporate management, helping the company make timely and more informed decisions.
In 2008, CRRC Electric introduced lean production and big data production management. Since then, it has been constantly upgrading its manufacturing technologies. Currently, its production cycle has been cut from 34 days to 21 days. Its daily production volume has jumped from 20 units to over 30 units.
Set up in 2007, CRRC Electric has registered a robust growing momentum, maintaining an annual growth rate of nearly 70%. On the back of its formidable technological strengths, CRRC Electric has become a competitive player in the global new energy vehicle market.
