EV Bus
Overview
In order to save energy, reduce emissions, and improve quality of life in cities, BY has developed a wide range of practical and economical EV solutions. It has launched commercial vehicles that cover ten market segments: buses, coaches and taxis; logistics, construction and sanitation vehicles; and vehicles for warehousing, port, airport and mining operations.
When this gets to the fully approved and implemented stage, mechanic colleges will no doubt start teaching students interested in auto careers what to expect when servicing these high-tech vehicles. Well, for starters, the model proposed by EV BUS uses a non-toxic Iron-Phosphate battery that can keep the bus running for on average, 250 kilometers between charges. It takes five hours to fully charge a bus, and charged buses can also function as mobile generators.
For the college students, the EV BUS tests were part of a larger effort to fully electrify its fleet by 2020. Future mechanic program graduates might want to take note that ultimately, they plan to combine battery use with overhead street electric wires that the bus can plug into.
