In 2015, sales of King Long new-energy
vehicles grew by more than 500%, much faster than average growth rate of
new-energy vehicle industry. In 2015, King Long New Energy achieved explosive
growth, providing the most powerful driving force for future development of its
new-energy vehicles. When reviewing these achievements in the year end, we find
in 2015, King Long New Energy harvested more than growth rate. Its greatest
harvest was the great market recognition and successful cases of new-energy
vehicle service.
King Long has 14-year experience in
developing and manufacturing new-energy buses. It keeps developing and
manufacturing vehicles based on independent technologies and actual needs of
vehicle operation, thus securing sustainable development of new-energy buses.
In May 2015, King Long launched the ECO-Chip new-energy management system, the
versatile solutions to new energy, in Beijing Bus & Truck Expo. The system,
by making in-depth control of motor operation, charging model, intelligent
model switch, vehicle driving control and safety guarantee, establishes 5D
value-driving system and releases more operating values of King Long new-energy
products.
In addition to ECO-Chip system, the plug-in
hybrid public bus represented by XMQ6127 was also seen in the Expo. The bus
adopts the independently-developed ISG technology. Equipped with ECO-Chi
system, it solves problems regarding fuel consumption, weak slope climbing and
difficult rapid charging that exist in traditional hybrid buses. Compared with
models of same type, it is more powerful, safer and more efficient.
By launching new-energy solutions and
independently-developed ISG plug-in hybrid vehicle, King Long presented its
technological capacity in new-energy buses. The sand map displaying the
operating theory of ECO-Chip plug-in hybrid united system in the booth of King
Long in Bus World Expo in Belgium in October 2015 reveals the important step of
King Long to promote its new-energy vehicles in the overseas market. In the era
of big-data and Internet, advertising is very important. By exhibiting the
independently-developed new-energy electronic control system, King Long
realized innovative promotion of Chinese new-energy buses in other countries.
“It is
the first time for the Chinese bus enterprises to display new-energy technologies
on the international stage. It greatly encourages manufacturers to consolidate
technological foundation and continue to develop new-energy vehicles”, said
principal of King Long New Energy.
The exit mechanism of subsidies for
new-energy vehicles in 2016-2020 reveals again the key to new-energy
development lies in technological and product innovation. Only by fully meeting
actual needs of the market can we gain sustainable development. And to ensure
products meet the market needs, it is imperative to secure safe and efficient
bus operation. In 2015, King Long contracted large-sum orders of new-energy
vehicles. The new-energy products in the entire line cover most of the
new-energy pilot-test cities in China. Each order won good reputation for King Long
New Energy.
In August 2015, 200 King Long plug-in hybrid
vehicles were delivered to Keqiao Public Bus in Shaoxing. The vehicle adopts
ISG system and is equipped with diverse composite rapid-charging Li-battery,
which can be charged full in 10 minutes. In the international working
condition, the pure EV mileage per charge exceeding 35km makes it a plug-in
hybrid bus that meets requirements for public buses. “In light of mixed
public-transport routes and timing of resident travels in Keqiao, King Long provides
the economical and practical 10.5-meter bus. And it adopts the top design for
the battery unit and control system,” said Yang Ping, Vice President of Keqiao
Public Bus in the interview, “This batch of new-energy King Long buses is being
put into use gradually. New breakthrough will be made in green transport
network in the district. And air pollution control has been pushed forward.”
In December, 100 King Long new-energy buses
were delivered to Zhenqing Bus in Qingdao. Painted in marine blue, King Long
new-energy buses will gradually replace the buses exceeding emission standards
that are operating in the West Coast New District. In this way, it supports
construction of West Coast New District focusing on marine economy with
energy-saving, emission reduction and low-carbon travel. “In January 2015, 30
King Long new-energy buses, as the express-line buses in the New District,
provide transit between urban area and West Coast New District. At the same
time, by adopting the model featuring big stops and express buses, they
constitute the first new-energy plug-in “green trunk line” in Qingdao. Again,
100 King Long buses get integrated into the green transport network in the new
district, which will definitely accelerate promotion and application of new-energy
buses in the New District and establish the harmony situation in which green
transport promotes development of marine economy”, said Sales Principal of King
Long.
In October 2015, the first Youth Games was
held successfully in Fuzhou. In the national comprehensive games, which was
also the largest and most important event ever hosted by Fujian, the topic of “green”
and “environmental protection” was seen everywhere. In particular, the Youth
Games, for the first time, used new-energy buses to provide commune service.
150 pure EVs of King Long took the tasks of transporting media, staff and
audiences, ensuring the Youth Games was low-carbon and environmental.
To make sure all new-energy vehicles are
operating safety and efficiently, King Long has established the professional
team for operation service of new-energy buses. With excellent performance
featuring zero breakdown, zero dispatching problem and zero service defect, it
successfully provided commune service for the event, thus setting up a model
for the Chinese new-energy autos to serve major events. As said by the King
Long New Energy principal, “Practice is the sole standard. In the parade of
Youth Games, King Long new-energy buses made exceptional performance, which was
the best recognition of the products. By taking Youth League as an opportunity,
we have developed the demo of new-energy vehicles serving major events, and
promoted the holistic solutions to new-energy vehicles, thus ensuring more
events will be served by them.”
After King Long successfully served the1st
Youth Games, Xiamen International Marathon was opened in January 2016. King
Long new-energy vehicles again served the event. The zero-emission,
zero-pollution and zero-noise pure EV of King Long served the specially-invited
professional athletes and 100 athletes coming from mainland China and Taiwan.
As the sole designated bus for the event, it was also the first time for King
Long to provide pure EV to serve commune in the event, helping it to become the
first zero-pollution marathon in the world. In the marathon tracks, running
team of King Long also showed the banner “salute to runners” to give respect to
runners and marathon spirit. Over the past 28 years, the Chinese bus brand King
Long has kept running with the mentality of a runner. It will never cease its
efforts to promote new-energy vehicles.
