On February 1st,
2021, Jinhua City’s third intercity rapid transit line "Jinwu Express
Line" was officially put into operation. This time, Jinwu Express equip its
whole line with King Long BMT buses, which actually is the second time of King
Long batch buses servicing in Jinhua, just right after the first of August 2020
batch.
Since the first launch
debuted in Jinhua, King Long BMT have earned a good reputation from all walks
of life with their good travel experience and excellent energy-saving performance.
So Jinhua once again purchased another batch of King Long BMT with big quantity
in less than half a year., Continuously securing repeated orders from the same
customers, the King Long BMT buses are King Long's testament to a new round of
solution upgrade for urban public transportation. With innovative integration
of several new cross-border technologies and industry technologies, King Long
BMT buses, featuring a metro-style and with multiple integrations, such as
electrification, intelligence, high-end and humanity,
are clearly targeted for reshaping a new experience and new model of urban
public transportation.
King Long endow the
product design with metro-style concept and the optimization of BMT compartment
presents an unexpected appealing impression for the passengers. With full flat
and low floor, large passageway layout and front and rear door opening design,
passengers can get on board in one step and pass quickly without obstacles. The
riding efficiency and the transportation efficiency respectively increased by
50% and 7.5%. While the ride experience has been greatly upgraded, the carrying
capacity of the vehicle has also been improved. Taking the 10.5-meter subway
bus as an example, with large transport capacity, equivalent to that of the 12-meter
traditional pure electric vehicle, it definitely helps to solve the urban bus
congestion and dredge the "main artery" of urban traffic.
Another highlight
of King Long BMT lies in lightweight optimization. It adopts the King Long third-generation
wheel drive system structure and the fourth-generation distributed drive
control strategy. Its excellent performance can achieve a weight reduction of
more than 700 kg for the vehicle. Compared with ordinary pure electric buses of
the same length, the energy consumption can be reduced by more than 15%.
In addition to
Jinhua, King Long BMT have also been operated in Fuzhou, Ningde and other
places. Also, the trial operation in Daocheng Yading has been successfully completed.
Batches of King Long BMT were delivered and operated in different cities,
bringing a new refreshing experience to the entire industry with high appraisal
from many passengers, governments and bus companies.
BMT drivers expressed
in an interview that the multifunction instrument cluster of the new energy bus
could help drivers achieve intelligent driving control. Especially, its fast speed
up, strong power, and excellent driving experience quickly make BMT a hot topic
among drivers.
After taking the BMT bus,
many passengers commented that the model had low floor, wide aisle, more spacious
than traditional buses and no common steps inside. Without "back
hill" design not only solves the bus travel problems of the disabled, the
old, the weak, the sick, the pregnant and other vulnerable groups, but also
avoids the hidden danger of emergency braking caused by the high center of
gravity of passengers standing on the “back hill”. Many passengers praised that
they had never expected the bus ride could be so comfortable, convenient, and
safe.
Public transport is
a livelihood project. In line with the principle of continuous exploration and
innovation in new energy and new technology, King Long BMT bus, with large
transport capacity and convenience, constitute an important part of public
transport service in “heart-winning” projects. In future, King Long BMT will be
deployed in more cities to render better travel experience.
