King Long Hybrid Buses Fascinate Yuhang Public Transport Company
Jun 28 , 2022
Hangzhou, as the international tourism city, is strict with air quality. The government releases a series of documents to control the air quality. From 2010, the newly-added or renewed buses must be National IV emission or new-energy buses.
Energy-saving and new-energy vehicles include pure-electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles, etc. After the survey and discussion, Yuhang Public Transport Company decided to choose hybrid buses. Deputy General Manager of the company Chen, Lianzhong said: "New-energy vehicles are new to us, and we finally choose King Long hybrid buses because 1. We used King Long diesel buses which turned out to be satisfactory; 2. King Long may provide us with the ones designed for our local road conditions."
In March 2011, Yuhang Public Transport Company introduced King Long XMQ6127GHEV4 hybrid bus for test operation in route 761. Data showed the model saved 25% of the fuel compared with similar diesel buses.
In September 2011, Yuhang Public Transport Company purchased 65 King Long XMQ6127GHEV4 city buses, which were electric-driven below 22km/h and hybrid above 22km/h. These buses turned out to be excellent.
Deputy General Manager Chen, Lianzhong spoke highly of King Long hybrid city buses, which were equipped with Yuchai hybrid power assembly, reducing 60% of the emission. In July 2012, the company purchased 50 more King Long XMQ6127GHEV4 city buses.
