With the convening of the two national conferences in 2014, the country’s strategic direction for promoting new energy vehicles has become more clear and a series of new supportive policies are expected to be introduced and settled. The bus industry has responded positively to government policy guidance, took advantage of policies, seized market opportunities, and promoted the development of China's new energy bus industry.
New energy bus promotion into the introduction period
During the two sessions, Minister of Science and Technology Wan Gang stated: “The number of electric vehicles in the U.S. in 2013 is around 100,000, of which the proportion of buses is very small, and the number of batteries used by a large passenger car is almost equivalent to that of 10 passenger cars. From this point of view, the development of electric vehicles in China has entered the market introduction period."
For the entire automotive industry, although the total amount of passenger cars is small, it has the following characteristics: large capacity, long operating hours, and rapid growth of total volume. Therefore, buses, especially buses, have important significance in the development of new energy vehicles. According to statistics, public transport vehicles account for more than 80% of the vehicles that have been actually promoted in the demonstration projects of the National Ten Cities. A number of excellent examples of technological innovation have emerged in the field of new energy buses in China.
Major auto companies such as Zhongtong, Chang'an and Ankai are all developing new energy buses. The national industrial policy also encourages the development of new energy buses in the direction of industrialization.
Chang'an Bus helps green travel
Chang'an Bus is the core enterprise of the passenger car plate of Chang’an Automobile Group. It has nearly 30 years of production history of medium- and light-duty passenger cars and always takes the concept of energy saving and environmental protection as the direction of advancement.
In product research and development, Chang'an Bus continues to innovate and surpass, making a contribution to energy conservation and emission reduction. On the one hand, based on the cooperation with Tsinghua University, Hebei University of Technology, and a number of bus professional chassis manufacturers, Chang'an Bus designed and developed Changan's autonomous “road-machine-vehicle (RMB) system†fuel saving system. The introduction of this technology has enabled Changan Bus to take the lead in the industry in fuel economy and emission reduction technologies.
On the other hand, the Changan bus industry is unremittingly developing the new energy bus business. The Changan Automobile Group plans to achieve comprehensive strength in the domestic first-class and internationally advanced by 2015; to this end, Changan Bus fully leverages the Group’s technological innovation achievements and launches a hybrid. And pure electric two projects. At present, the Chang’an 12-meter hybrid city bus is in the R&D stage. The plug-in hybrid drive using gas and battery can effectively save more than 30% of fuel, which is suitable for suburban cities to run in the main streets; meanwhile, the development is The 6-7-meter pure electric bus, suitable for small and medium-sized urban crowded streets, is already in prototype production stage and is expected to be available in the market from July to August this year. Whether in the field of energy-saving passenger cars or new energy buses, Chang'an passenger cars have excellent technical strength and have a good market development prospects.
Changan build green bus to promote green travel <br> <br> referendum on product operations, Changan Bus efforts to promote universal green travel, to promote bus travel, and efforts to mitigate emissions. Changan Bus started from its own and endeavored to create passenger car products that are in line with China's national conditions and can truly meet Chinese consumers. It is an important direction for product development to develop fast, safe, comfortable, and low-emission buses. Chang’an Bus enhances the safety and smoothness of buses while driving, providing citizens with more convenient, comfortable, spacious and barrier-free public transportation environment, and at the same time, it can also attract more people to take green public transport and reduce private car travel rates. For the country's air governance do its part.
With the current prominent environmental issues, promoting clean energy vehicles is an important support for achieving sustainable development strategies. The launch of Chang'an New Energy Bus is bound to contribute to the development of China's new energy bus industry.
