Electric Bus Drives to Chang'an Street Beijing has built 8 electric vehicle charging and switching stations

“Look at it! This car does not have an exhaust pipe!” A special bus took you to Chang'an Avenue and past Tian’an Gate without leaving a bit of smoke. Recently, the “90-way” pure electric bus demonstration line was officially opened and operated. This is the first time that Chang’an Street “runs” pure electric buses. During the year this year, Beijing plans to put in 50 more pure electric buses.

During the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, 50 pure electric buses with complete independent intellectual property rights in China were used as special ferry buses. They carried athletes and journalists through the Olympic Village and the Media Village, and they successively put in bus lines. Operation. “Look at these electric cars, pure electric power, zero emissions, no pollution, and noise is less than ordinary buses!” When Beijing Electric Group’s electric car master talks about his car, he cannot help expressing his pride.

At 9:32, the reporter took the "90 Road" from Beituo City Station and passed through Beixing Road, Gulou Street, Shichahai, Beihai and other places. At 10:38am, he passed through Fuxingmen and entered Chang'an Street, passing through Xidan. The National Grand Theatre, Tiananmen Square, Wangfujing, South Xincang Culture and Recreation Area and other places, these urban landscapes and commercial centers with the most ancient capitals and historic features of Beijing are carefully linked in series. Passengers sit in the car and have a beautiful view.

I used to sit on a bus that "sucks oil". Now, how does it feel to change to pure electric? "No fuel smell, sit up and it's especially stable!" Ding Fengzhen, who lives in Wuluju, Haidian District, and his wife, together with a 30-kilometer experience, said with emotion: "There is no comparison, there is no identification. This drink 'electric' bus, That's good!"

The key to solving the problem of traffic congestion in Beijing is to vigorously increase the proportion of public transport trips and put the “transit city” in a prominent position. At the same time, it will increase the attractiveness of public transport and make buses more accessible, on-time, comfortable, and more. People do not like to drive a car, prefer to take the bus.

In order to showcase the new look of the capital construction, increase the attractiveness of public transport travel and promote green travel, the Beijing Bus Group has investigated and wrote “90 Road” on the road map for the development of “Green Bus”. From electric taxis in Yanqing to electric buses in urban areas, Beijing's pure electric vehicle pilot is being implemented quietly.

According to the forecast of the State Council Development Research Center, by 2020, China’s automobile consumption of oil will reach 256 million tons, accounting for about 67% of the country’s total oil consumption. In 2010, China’s dependence on foreign oil has reached 55%. Faced with such a severe challenge, letting a car run on "electricity" is undoubtedly a major strategic choice.

The use of electric vehicles as a strategic emerging industry has been included in the Beijing “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”: In the next five years, Beijing will build a research and development platform for new energy vehicles, especially the entire vehicle control system, vehicle-mounted energy systems, and drive systems. The R&D and industrialization of large-scale key systems and key components has accelerated the development of pure electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles, and increased demonstration and application of pure electric vehicles. To this end, Beijing has issued a series of subsidy policies for the purchase and use of electric vehicles, and will increase government procurement efforts to encourage and guide financial institutions to provide financial support for the promotion and application of electric vehicles such as credit and guarantees. The goal is to make the electric vehicle reach the scale of 100,000 vehicles by 2015, and passenger vehicles will be the mainstay.

From a power station to multiple charging and recharging stations, the supporting infrastructure of Beijing's electric vehicles is also rapidly increasing. The electric bus adopts a power exchange mode, and “90-way” is “refueling” at the Beituo Bus Exchange Station. On-duty officer Fu Gang said that a pure electric bus can be fully charged in 2 hours, and a battery quick-change time is only 4 to 5 minutes and can run up to 150 kilometers. At present, Beijing has built 8 electric vehicle charging and switching stations, including the Space Bridge and Yanqing, and this number will reach 466 after five years, which can meet the charging needs of more than 70,000 electric vehicles.
