Join forces to open a new chapter in green transportation
Deutsche Bahn is a private railway transportation company in Germany, which mainly includes railway freight and passenger transportation. It is one of the world's largest railway transportation companies and the largest bus operator in Germany. In 2019, the passenger volume exceeded 500 million.
Following the signing of the cooperation framework agreement in March, the first batch of 5 pure electric buses were delivered on schedule and put into operation smoothly, laying a good start for the further in-depth cooperation between the two parties, and marking Deutsche Bundesbahn’s efforts to build a sustainable electric transportation system. Enter a new stage.
The head of fleet operations of the Deutsche Bahn Bus Group said: "This is the first batch of BYD pure electric buses in our fleet, and we hope that there will be more in the future. These buses have a long cruising range, even in extreme cold and winter temperatures. When fully loaded, the vehicle can also meet the needs of the operating route. It is understood that the drivers had a good driving experience during the trial operation and were very satisfied with the practical functions in the vehicle."
New design and black technology "blessing" help Deutsche Railway to enter the new journey of new energy intelligence
The delivered model is BYD's new generation of 12-meter pure electric bus. Its concept model debuted at the Busworld Brussels in 2019. In 2020, with the design concept of "HomefromHome", the car won the German iF Design Award, known as the "Oscar of Industrial Design."
BYD's new generation of 12-meter pure electric buses
In terms of endurance, the vehicle uses an upgraded version of lithium iron phosphate battery pack, and the follow-up journey exceeds 400 kilometers on a single charge under SORT conditions. From the Netherlands to Germany, during the nearly 500-kilometer journey, the bus only stayed for a short time to recharge the battery, and the endurance performance advantage was obvious. Vehicles equipped with BYD’s self-developed fleet management system (FleetLink) can help operators effectively manage and diagnose vehicles remotely, check and count fleet operating status in a timely manner, realize intelligent scheduling and control, and ensure efficient operation. Operators can also use the system Realize vehicle preheating. At the same time, the vehicles are equipped with industry-leading carbon dioxide air conditioners to further promote energy conservation and emission reduction.
BYD's 12-meter pure electric bus is heading to Germany
Pure electric buses are a weapon for BYD to compete in overseas markets and promote the electrification of global public transport. As the only company in the world that has mastered the core technology of new energy, BYD has launched its bus electrification strategy more than 10 years ago, and has accumulated experience in large-scale operations in more than 300 cities in more than 50 countries and regions around the world.
This time, BYD's bus entering Germany again depends on its good market reputation, reliable product quality, and long-term accumulation of rich and mature operating experience on a global scale. He Yipeng, General Manager of the Commercial Vehicle Business Center of BYD Europe LLC, said: “I am very proud to have reached a cooperation with Deutsche Bahn. Despite the impact of the epidemic, we have delivered these vehicles with quality and quantity. I believe that this is Europe. Another great example of mainstream bus operators' transition to electrification through BYD's zero-emission transportation solutions."
