The 25th Busworld Brussels held
in Brussels from October 18 to 23. At the world's most influential bus
exhibition, King Long Bus made its debut in 2005 and participated for eight
consecutive sessions, becoming an indispensable Chinese element in the
exhibition. During this period, King Long Bus has also grown into a
world-renowned bus brand.
With the theme of "Innovation for
a Better World" and the leading intelligent technology, King Long Bus will
show its stronger brand strength at this exhibition. In the new era and new
exhibition platform in Brussels, it will display the strong product lineup of
Level L4 autonomous driving bus Apolong, 5G intelligent telematics bus PEV12,
high-end Longwei II flagship C13HD and EU suburban vehicle U13. With its future-looking
technology application, the four models of exhibition buses demonstrate the
manufacturing strength and leading level of China's bus intelligent products in
the industry 4.0, and demonstrate the new elegant demean our of China's bus
industry.
Pioneers of Autonomous Driving Service
Autonomous driving represents a new revolution in the
automobile industry, which has attracted the attention of global automobile
enterprises and IT enterprises who continue to increase investment. Starting in
2017, King Long Bus and Internet giant Baidu have joined forces to jointly
promote the development and application of autonomous driving technology in
China. China's first L4 autonomous driving bushas been in commercial operation
for one year, opening a new era of autonomous driving service for public
transportation.
At the technology-rich Xiong'an Citizen Service Center, you
can see King Long Apolong moving at any time. King Long Apolong's demonstration
operation in Xiong'an Citizen Service Center has laid a solid foundation for
the construction of Xiong'an intelligent transportation system.
Guangdong Country Garden's Tonghu Sci-Tech Town is the first town and park
that actually operates unmanned vehicles. King Long Apolong has been put into
operation as the town's shuttle bus. This "at beck and call"
autonomous driving bus makes this Sci-Tech Town called "Guangzhou Silicon
Valley" more worthy of the name.
In Beijing Haidian Park, Fuzhou Feifengshan Olympic Park,
Chongqing Lijia Wisdom Park and other parks, King Long Apolong shuttled back and
forth, providing strong support for the intelligent upgrading of the parks with
a strong sense of intelligence and future.
Up to now, King Long Apolong has already realized commercial
landed operations in 25 cities and regions and 30 scenes in China, providing
extremely comfortable travel and feeder services for the public. It has
accumulated 57,000 kilometers of autonomous driving mileage, 63,000
passengers and kept safety from accidents. It has demonstrated the leading
strength of China's autonomous driving technology and set a benchmark for the
global commercial operation of autonomous driving. Under the leadership of King
Long Apolong, autonomous driving vehicles of the Level 4 in the park have
ushered in a new era of rapid development in China, promoting the innovation
and development of China's automobile industry.
The Bearer of the Age of Interconnection of Everything
In 2019, 5G has been realized the commercial application,
which provides favorable conditions for the development of bus telematics
technology. In terms of networking, King Long Bus is also in the forefront of
China's bus industry. The 5G intelligent telematics bus PEV12 on display is a
city bus solution built for the 5G era based on deep accumulation of
intelligent telematics technology.
In order to give full play to the bandwidth
advantages of 5G, King Long Bus has designed and manufactured the new
intelligent chassis platform and intelligent network domain controller of PEV12
to realize efficient coordination between vehicle system and traffic
environment such as roads and vehicles. Based on 5G technology, PEV12 realizes
5G V2X functions such as over-the-horizon collision prevention, real-time
vehicle-road coordination, optimal vehicle speed strategy, safe and accurate
parking, etc. It integrates isolated passengers and drivers in traditional
public transportation with surrounding landmarks through 5G network, realizes
the coordination and integration of people, vehicles and roads, and provides a
direction for the intelligent development of future cities.
It is especially mentioned that in
September 2018, King Long Bus has jointly launched a 5G intelligent telematics
bus trial with Datang Telecom. Sixteen functions of PEV12 including lane
keeping, car following and forward anti-collision have been successfully tested
on Xiamen BRT line. At the end of this year, a large number of intelligent telematics
buses will be officially operated on urban public transportation lines, opening
a new era for urban public transportation in China.
Digitalization Defines "Ingenious" Manufacturing
While upgrading the technical level of the buses with
intelligent products in China, King Long Bus continues to challenge high-end
manufacturing. The Longwei II flagship C13HD debuted at this exhibition, which
is launched in the European Union market, demonstrates King Long Bus' ability
to create high-end products with digital "ingenuity". C13HD has
demonstrated the new quality characteristics of high-end bus with its excellent
performance in six aspects: shape, safety, NVH, control, ergonomics and
comfort.
Europe is the birthplace of the automobile industry, but it
has always adhered to its ingenuity in the development of industrial
civilization. In the era of digitalization, Longwei II creatively interprets
and creates new connotation with intelligence and digitalization. Longwei II
adopts the development mode of full-process digitalization and modular
platform, realizing the high harmony of the whole vehicle. Longwei II flagship
version has set a new height for high-end craftsmanship in many indicators. For
example, Longwei II flagship version is China's first coach with a full windshield,
overcoming 110mm of radian and difficulty. The front face has been increased by
90mm in thickness, making the shape distinguished. Breakthroughs have been made
in vehicle structural design and vehicle NVH technology, with noise performance
reaching the international leading level.
Since it crossed the high threshold of EU certification for
the first time in 2005 and made its historic debut at the Busworld Europe, King
Long Bus has continuously absorbed international advanced bus industry concepts
and technologies in the market experience of developed countries for more than
ten years, serving the global public transportation with innovative
transportation solutions, growing into the backbone of the world bus market and
winning the success of 100,000 overseas sales.
With "innovation" as the core power, King Long Bus
will continue to lead Chinese bus manufacturing to the world and create better
public transportation. At the same time, King Long Bus will join hands with
more global partners to forge a more brilliant tomorrow.
