King Long Hybrid Intercity Buses Won High Acclaim in Madrid
Jun 28 , 2022
In 2015, King Long exported 8
units hybrid intercity buses to Madrid for supporting the local environmental protection.
Since the buses were put into operation, they won high acclaim by the local
citizens. Up to now, the buses still maintain good operation performance.
King Long E12 hybrid intercity bus has
12.18 meters long in low entry configuration and incorporates an automatic
gearbox 6-speed tight consumption.
With extensive experience in manufacturing,
over 3,500 urban hybrid vehicles involved in the project of R&D intercity
hybridization (to nonexistent date market) after one year, King Long enacts its
new diesel-electric plug-in (PHEV "Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle") intercity
hybrid bus which can operate at 100 km/h.
The responsible for the brand in Spain
commented that: "With the launch of these first vehicles, we probably mark
a trend in the future discretionary. The brand has always been a leader in
alternative energy globally and with this new development, King Long became the
first manufacturer to offer a real hybrid vehicle intended for urban and
intercity routes. "
CO2 particulate emissions to the atmosphere
are relatively low: only 15% of CO2 and even 0% of emissions if it acts in
electric mode, making its hybridization system in one of the greenest in the
market.
In addition, the electric motor of the new
bus not only acts on startup, but also makes it between gears, making the
transition between gears very smooth and almost non-existent while optimizing
consumption.
The research institute of King Long has
developed for this hybrid cooling system battery that puts an end to the
difficulties of heat dissipation for such vehicles in countries where the
ambient temperature is higher than the rest (say of example Mediterranean
countries), increasing their duration and reducing the cost / maintenance / km.
