In September, 2018, CRRC brought its new energy buses on display at IAA Commercial Vehicles Hanover. In less than two months, the bus maker successfully secured an order of 20 units buses from a customer in France.
It is revealed that the new buses to be delivered will feature a host of intelligent driving capabilities and adopt a number of safety systems, including lane deviation alarming, collision alarming, panoramic monitoring, retarder-assisted braking and self-adaptable intelligent driving. Thanks to the introduction of new materials, CRRC’s new energy bus has significantly cut its weight. With upgraded controllers and electric motor, the vehicle achieves a protection level of IP68. In addition, it has gone through stringent tests in waters, at high altitudes and in extremely cold and hot weather.
France introduced a batch of CRRC C12 electric buses back in December, 2017. With a number of customized features, these buses have been working smoothly in Paris.
In March, 2018, CRRC held a promotion of its new bus products in Ardennes and signed a framework agreement on cooperation with the local government. In addition, CRRC electric buses were put into trial operation in the province.
From June 12 to 14, CRRC T power driveline was put on display at Paris International Public Transport Exhibition. During the three-day event, a bus operator placed an order of 20 units electric buses on CRRC.()
