Hengtong Bus Cooperates with Microvast for Operation of Rapid Charge Electric Buses
21 January 2011
www.chinabuses.org: On 18 January 2011, the test operation ceremony of Huzhou rapid charge electric transit buses, namely, the development forum of business model of China electric vehicles was held and the rapid charge electric city buses developed by Hengtong Bus and America Microvast city were operated in Huzhou. Hengtong Bus is a bus builder with over 70-year’s history and Microvast is a professional power cell producer.

For a long time, the battery energy density and charging time become the bottleneck to restrict the development of electric buses. The operated buses apply the rapid charging technology and full charging takes about 10 minutes, affording to the constant driving range of 30 to 50 kilometers. The win-win partnership for both parties marks the further step for Zhongtong new energy buses from test operation to large-sized business operation.

The new generation of Hengtong electric city buses are equipped with new rapid charging li-ion battery pack (long service life, 50KWh) and start energy regeneration in the process of braking, advantageous in retarding and usage life of braking system.
On the same day, the journalists and the representatives from transit companies took the electric bus with the range of over 40 kilometers. During the about two hours' running, the bus operated normally as the conventional city bus and performed well in acceleration as well as deceleration.
