On January 15, 2015, the annual event of the commercial vehicle industry was held in Beijing. Zhongtong Bus won unanimous recognition from users, event organizers, and industry professionals for its outstanding market performance and positive market feedback in 2015, receiving two awards. Zhongtong Bus was awarded the title of "2015 Most Satisfied Commercial Vehicle Brand" and the Zhongtong LCK6850EVG1 pure electric city bus was named the 2015 Bus of the Year.
Thoughtful service ensures that every order meets user requirements.
2015 was the "Quality Breakthrough Year" for Zhongtong Bus Company. As the products became increasingly popular in the market, Zhongtong Bus continuously strengthened product technological innovation and optimization upgrades to ensure maximum customer demand and best interests, which were specifically reflected in every order.
In May 2015, Zhongtong Bus Company won the bid for 227 LCK6950HG buses for Shenzhen Bus. In the early stages of the bidding process, the company sent technical personnel for on-site research, collecting road profiles based on vehicle operation routes, conducting data analysis, and customizing a sample vehicle for users to have a more intuitive and comprehensive understanding of the product. During the production process, Zhongtong Bus implemented "transparent" production, inviting Shenzhen Bus to track the entire production process on-site, striving to achieve user satisfaction.
In addition to thoughtful service, Zhongtong Bus Company also makes every effort to meet users' technical requirements for vehicles. For the Shenzhen Bus order, the company designed and developed an aluminum alloy body, which has significant advantages in corrosion resistance and lightweight compared to traditional bodies. For the 18-meter long BRT order in Xinjiang, Zhongtong completed designs such as LNG sinking structure, low floor, six doors, and enhanced load capacity according to customer requirements. In the Huangdao bus order, the remote rewriting function was realized based on user requirements, covering engine, transmission, battery, motor, road profile, ATS, ABS, ECAS, etc. In the Liaocheng plug-in hybrid bus order, innovative designs were completed to meet user needs, including the largest integrated rear advertising screen in the country, fully glass protection, and solving issues related to power distribution, ventilation, heat dissipation, and waterproofing through system engineering.
Technological innovation creates unique product competitive advantages.
In 2015, Zhongtong Bus Company conducted multiple studies, such as establishing research on battery swapping, DC charging, AC charging, on-board charging, grid charging, wireless charging, and multi-charging technology with single or dual guns. They developed a pure electric 6-in-1 integrated power supply, which reduced the weight of the vehicle's original functional components by 45%, decreased the volume by 65%, and reduced the number of high-voltage connection points from 29 to 14, enhancing vehicle safety. Additionally, Zhongtong developed its own vehicle controller and an independent electromechanical coupling drive system. All pure electric buses from Zhongtong, except for customer-specific requirements, use this system, achieving a fuel-saving rate of over 50% compared to traditional vehicles.
It is worth mentioning that the Zhongtong LCK6850EVG1, which won the "Bus of the Year" award, is a new model from Zhongtong in 2015. It incorporates most of the innovative technologies mentioned above, with advantages mainly in fast charging, low energy consumption, large capacity, and high wading depth. Additionally, it first adopted a more convenient rooftop pantograph charging technology. Besides technological innovations, the design of the Zhongtong LCK6850EVG1 follows the classic European design philosophy, featuring an elegant exterior, stylish interior, easy driving, and ergonomic design in the passenger area, providing a comfortable driving experience and a premium riding experience, which earned it market recognition upon its launch, winning a bid for 200 buses for the public transport in Zhanjiang, Guangdong. Thus, it is only natural that the Zhongtong LCK6850EVG1 was awarded "Bus of the Year."
In addition to the technical research on the vehicles themselves, Zhongtong Bus has developed an intelligent remote monitoring system for subsequent services, capable of comprehensive monitoring and fault warning for key data information of batteries, motors, and other new energy sources.
The 5+3 operational new model alleviates users' concerns throughout the entire process.
Compared to the entire public transport industry, electric buses are still a new phenomenon, and many users have doubts about the procurement, subsequent operation, and maintenance of pure electric buses.
Against this backdrop, Zhongtong Bus took timely action and launched a customized operational model for the entire lifecycle of pure electric buses in May 2015—the "5+3" operational model. It includes "five core customizations" and "three service commitments," solving various problems encountered by users in product selection, financing, daily monitoring and maintenance, charging, after-sales, parts supply, and emergency handling. The launch of Zhongtong's "5+3" operational model has resolved all concerns for users regarding the purchase and use of pure electric buses.
