Recently, the results of the 2024 "Zijin·Industrial Design Competition" were announced. The Higer New V Series bus won the Excellent Award of the competition. The event was jointly organized by the Publicity Department of the CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee and the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology. The award-winning New V Series bus marks Higer's significant achievements in the fields of industrial design and intelligent manufacturing.

The theme of this year's competition was "Design for Innovation, Manufacturing for Quality." It focused on the goal of cultivating advanced manufacturing industry clusters proposed by the provincial Party committee and government, and centered on the "1650" industrial system. The competition aimed to gather industrial design industries, talents, and resources, apply advanced technologies, integrate industrial cultural elements, and incorporate green and sustainable development concepts. This was done to further stimulate the vitality of industrial design innovation and entrepreneurship, promote the integration of design and manufacturing, and contribute to the high-quality development of Jiangsu's manufacturing industry. The Higer New V Series bus stood out among numerous entries, demonstrating the innovative strength of Jiangsu's manufacturing industry.

The Higer New V Series bus took three years of research and development and was developed through a full IPD process. The series integrates high quality, high safety, and high intelligence. It has achieved breakthroughs in multiple technical fields. With a completely new styling design combined with the development concepts of serialization, modularization, and generalization, it has created a highly recognizable high-end image. By extensively using high-strength steel and composite lightweight materials, it has not only increased the strength of the body but also significantly reduced the energy consumption of the vehicle.

The New V Series bus is the first in the industry to be fully equipped with an intelligent cockpit system, leading the industry in intelligence level. It innovatively adopts a new domain control technology, reducing the number of wiring harnesses by 65%, which enhances the safety of the electrical system from the source. In the production process, robot spraying, welding, and laser cutting are introduced to ensure precision manufacturing and superior quality compared to competitors. The full-cycle after-sales service system also ensures customers are "worry-free when purchasing and using," embodying the connotation of high-end intelligent manufacturing.

The Higer New V Series covers buses ranging from 8 to 14 meters in length and is compatible with both traditional fuels and new energy power. It comprehensively covers such as tourism, passenger transport, and group commuting, and provides tiered value solutions. Whether it is the flexibility required for short-distance shuttles, the comfort considerations for long-distance tourism, or the policy adaptation for new energy transformation, it can accurately match and become a "jack-of-all-trades."

Behind the full-scene coverage is Higer's deep response to global customer needs. In line with the development trend of the global tourism passenger transport industry, Higer conducted extensive and in-depth global customer research during the development of the New V Series. Focusing on the core value demands of customers, it has made multiple humanized upgrades to driving control, interior space, seat configuration, etc., striving to create a passenger car-level driving experience and a comfortable travel feeling. At present, more than 3,000 units of the Higer New V Series buses have been sold globally, with products exported to international markets such as Algeria, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates, and have received high praise from overseas customers. This achievement not only verifies the market competitiveness of the product but also provides valuable data support for continuous optimization.

The award for the New V Series bus is an affirmation of Higer's commitment to an innovation-driven development strategy. In the future, Higer will continue to deepen the integration of industrial design and intelligent manufacturing, create greater value for customers, and contribute to the high-quality development of Jiangsu's manufacturing industry.
