King Long Hybrid Power Buses Start the Project

On 3 December 2010, Xiamen Transport Group formally applied four hybrid power city buses, including two King Long models: XMQ6127AGH43 and XMQ6106GH33. It marks the essential phase of Project "Ten Cities & Thousand Units" in Xiamen.

According to the reporter's interview, the passengers show great expectation of new energy buses in Xiamen and reflected that it was light noise, no fuel smell and quite steady in operation for XMQ6106GH33. It is revealed by Yu Ximing, the head of Hi-tech Division of Xiamen Municipal Science and technology Bureau that there would be 33 more hybrid power buses in operation in Xiamen at the beginning of 2011 and possibly a thousand units at the end of next year.

As the first group of operated vehicles for this project, King Long Bus dispatched the professional technicians to follow and specifically test the economy, safety and emission of the vehicles, in the meantime, to collect reliable data and make related improvements.

Chen Weiqiang, Manager of Technical Department of King Long Bus said that King Long Bus has ten year¡¯s development history of new energy buses and accumulated rich experience in respects of technology and operation. Currently, the products have been operated in Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Changsha and Singapore. These two models in Xiamen are specifically made by King Long Bus based on the actual road conditions: 12-meter and 10.5-meter long. Both are equipped with the optimized engine (low speed, big torque and available for urgent and frequent stop), power driven when the speed is no more than 22km/h, fuel and power driven when the speed is more than 22km/h, energy recovery as well as circularly charging during deceleration or braking. Both models have passed through the endurance tests for 10000 km and test operation in Xiamen. According to the data in operation: they can save over 25% fuel, reduce 25%¡ª30% pollutant emission and are obvious in low emission, low energy consumption and low noise compared with the conventional diesel buses in the same type, moreover, they have been listed in the national recommendation for new energy vehicles and qualify for the subsidy for more than 300,000 Yuan.

Li Weihua, the Director-General of Xiamen Municipal Science and technology Bureau showed that Xiamen has been selected as the city for Project "Ten Cities & Thousand Units" (demonstration city for new energy vehicles application) in this June and the related departments pay great attention to this project, more and more new energy vehicles would be used in Xiamen in the future.
