The first plug-in hybrid oil-electric coach in Hong Kong has been unveiled!
The Hong Kong Government has made great efforts to promote electric vehicles in recent years. Everyone will know when they see how many Tesla cars are on the market (But in the end, there is an anti-climax to impose the first registration tax)! As for commercial electric vehicles, Hong Kong has its own production. It is the 12m plug-in diesel-electric hybrid (Plug-in Hybrid Electirc) coach currently on display at the Asia World Expo International Environmental Protection Expo and developed by local manufacturer GMi. The exhibition period is until October 29.So far.
Charging while driving
Just look at this 12m cordless oil-electric hybrid coach developed by local manufacturer GMi and manufactured with funding from the Hong Kong Government's Innovation and Technology Fund. The appearance is actually no different from the large-scale village bus or shopping mall shuttle bus that everyone is currently taking, but just look at the rear parts and the driver's seat.Then, you will find another mystery. Because I opened the rear cover of the car, I saw a pair of Siemens ELFA engines that meet the Euro 5 standard, which can be recharged into the battery in the middle of the car during driving. This 50kWh lithium titanate battery also has an independent fast charging function. It can be fully charged in about 30 minutes. When fully charged and driven by pure electricity, it can also walk continuously for 40km.
The rear of the car is equipped with a Siemens ELFA engine (shown by the arrow), which can charge the built-in 50kWh lithium titanate battery while traveling.
Supports fast charging function, and the battery can be fully charged in about 30 minutes.
Driven by a mixture of diesel and battery, it can accommodate up to 49 passengers.
Save 40% of fuel consumption
As for the layout of the car, it is the same as the tour buses seen in the general market. The car can accommodate up to 49 passengers, but the biggest difference is that the driver's seat will have more battery switch options, allowing the driver to use it according to driving needs. As for other specifications of the body, the transmission system is a single-speed automatic transmission, with a maximum horsepower of 240kW and a maximum torque of 3,800Nm. The braking system is equipped with front and rear disc type plus ABS anti-lock brake system, and a dual-loop all-wind EBS electronic brake module. Compared with similar coaches, this hybrid oil-electric drive model can save 40% or more of fuel consumption and reduce emissions by up to 70% or more.
The layout of the carriages is the same as that of ordinary tourist buses.
The driver's seat will have the option of a battery switch (shown in the circle), allowing the driver to use it according to the needs of driving.
Among them, fuel consumption can be saved by 40% or more and emissions can be reduced by up to 70% or more.
