On August 11, 2025, Jilin City and Harbin City officially launched the intercity bus route T602. The in-depth cooperation between AsiaStar and Jilin Shuangxing Bus has once again become a focal point in the industry. In June of this year, the batch delivery of 38+1 seat all-electric buses X11E was officially put into cross-provincial intercity bus operations, offering a new convenient and comfortable intercity travel option for passengers in both locations.

As a transportation link connecting two important cities in the Northeast, Route T602 operates 10 round-trip services daily. Jilin City runs from 6:00 to 16:30, with continuous departures, while Harbin runs from 7:00 to 17:00, with synchronized departures. The one-way travel time is approximately 3.5 hours. The route adopts a "highway trunk + one-way boarding and alighting" model, with core hubs located at the Jilin City Passenger Station and Harbin Hexi Passenger Station, balancing efficiency and convenience.

The AsiaStar X11E all-electric bus, which serves this route, features "Weichai 395-kWh ultra-high-capacity battery and 2+1 transverse business seat cabin," bringing triple breakthroughs in "range, experience, and safety" for cross-provincial intercity travel. From batch delivery to formal operation, this model, which closely meets the needs of suburban bus services, is redefining the value standards of intercity transportation through technological innovation.

The Jilin-Harbin intercity route is nearly 300 kilometers long, with a high-frequency demand of 10 round-trip services daily. Coupled with the low-temperature environment in the Northeast region, this poses a dual challenge of "all-scenario + all-climate" for vehicle range. The AsiaStar X11E is equipped with a 395-kWh Weichai high-capacity battery, combined with an intelligent battery temperature control system, to provide dual guarantees of "stable low-temperature range and fast all-time charging":

Long-range coverage for all scenarios: A single charge can easily support the "full journey from Jilin to Harbin (3.5 hours) + peak turnover." Even in -20°C conditions, the Weichai new energy battery maintains a stable discharge efficiency, perfectly meeting the compound operational characteristics of intercity buses with "multiple stops, long distances, and low-temperature conditions."

Maximized charging efficiency: The X11E is equipped with a Battery Management System (BMS) to ensure uninterrupted high-frequency daily operations, helping Shuangxing Bus achieve green benefits by reducing operating costs and making "no suspension of operations even in low-temperature days" a reality.

The X11E breaks the traditional constraints of fixed bus seats by introducing transverse seat movement in the 2+1 business layout. When two passengers in the same row need more spacious space, the seats can slide horizontally, instantly widening the distance between them and eliminating the cramped feeling of "shoulder-to-shoulder." The mid-mounted rear-drive battery arrangement effectively balances the vehicle's center of gravity, enhancing ride smoothness. From flexible space adjustment to smooth and stable driving, the X11E redefines the comfort threshold for intercity travel through structural innovation.
