"You reap what you sow." The development trajectory of Zhongtong New Energy Buses perfectly illustrates this saying. Just before the May Day holiday, good news arrived for Zhongtong New Energy Buses: they secured an order for 50 plug-in hybrid buses in the vehicle bidding procurement by Jining Transportation. This marks another collaboration with Jining Transportation since the first batch of plug-in hybrid buses in 2013, further solidifying Zhongtong's leadership position in the new energy bus sector. Although Jining Transportation is not located in the high-speed rail hub, it is close to Qufu, and the impact of the Qufu high-speed rail on Jining Transportation's road passenger transport has not diminished at all. In the face of this challenge, Jining Transportation is making real-time adjustments.

Although Jining Transportation is not located in the high-speed rail hub, it is close to Qufu, and the impact of the Qufu high-speed rail on Jining Transportation's road passenger transport has not diminished at all. In the face of this challenge, Jining Transportation has adjusted its development strategy in real-time, developing towards the high-speed rail branch market, and has successively opened passenger transport services from Jining to Qufu high-speed rail. In 2013, they purchased 34 Zhongtong New Energy Buses for this route. With the acceleration of urbanization, the scale of urban and rural passenger flow has expanded to a certain extent. Jining Transportation seized this opportunity to open intercity and urban-rural routes such as Jining to Jinxing and Yutai County to its subordinate townships. The 50 Zhongtong New Energy Buses purchased this time will be deployed on these routes. The 50 buses are expected to be delivered to customers by the end of May.

Customers choose to use new energy buses not only in response to the national energy-saving and emission-reduction policies but also as a test of the performance and technology of new energy bus products. The first batch of 34 Zhongtong New Energy Buses purchased by Jining Transportation has been in operation for several months and has shown good economic performance, with all other product features also satisfying customers. Thanks to the positive operational feedback, Jining Transportation has once again placed an order for 50 LCK6106PHENV buses with Zhongtong. In addition to the good response from the first batch, the product features of the LCK6106PHENV itself have also provided effective leverage for customers to continue choosing Zhongtong Buses. Firstly, the 10-meter plug-in gas-electric hybrid bus is Zhongtong's main technical route, with a mature product and high reliability. Secondly, the product has low operating costs and high overall cost performance. This is mainly reflected in: the overall vehicle price is relatively low, coupled with national vehicle subsidies, significantly reducing the overall purchase cost; through field operation experiments, the product has an average electricity consumption of 11.37 kWh per 100 kilometers and an average gas consumption of 12.28 kg per 100 kilometers, while similar conventional vehicles have an average gas consumption of 24-25 kg per 100 kilometers, and each kWh of electricity is cheaper than each kg of gas. Comprehensive calculations show that the overall operating cost of the product is greatly reduced. In the face of severe competition in passenger transport, the economic and reliability aspects of the product have become the top priorities for customers when selecting vehicles, and the advantages demonstrated by Zhongtong LCK6106PHENV in these two aspects have become a decisive advantage for the product in market competition.

With the widespread promotion and operation of new energy buses, Zhongtong Buses has also kept pace with the times, continuously improving its product range, timely launching the most adaptable products to the market, and increasing efforts in scientific research and innovation. They have developed the industry's first remote intelligent monitoring system for new energy buses: the Zhongtong New Energy Bus Remote Intelligent Monitoring System, filling a gap in this field and leading new energy bus technology to a new level. Scientific research and innovation have brought Zhongtong New Energy Buses one harvest after another, while achieving a quality development and dual harvest of social benefits. With the success of the first batch, we also look forward to the subsequent 50 new energy buses continuing to showcase their charm and create substantial benefits for customers.
