With
the 9th Challenge Bibendum going ahead as planned, major manufacturers both at
home and abroad have brought all their skills into full play, and presented their
respective scientific and technological achievements in energy-saving and emission
reduction sectors, together with the existing solutions in the field of sustainable
road mobility. During the process, the 25-meter-superlong bullet-headed concept
vehicle ZK6251G specially designed for BRT by Yutong has attracted attentions
from the majority of spectators with its powerful lineup and streamlined fashionable
appearance.

It
is reported that this "Golden Bullet" ZK6251G has participated in the
competitions for "Bibendum Modeling Award" and "Fuel Economy Class
A Award". ZK6251G, with its unique appearance, bullet-headed extraordinary
momentum and 25-meter-superlong body, has surpassed the traditional 18m BRT bus
in appearance, and displayed the decent features. The engine thermal management
system independently developed by Yutong is applied inside this vehicle, and thus
the fuel combustion can be reduced by 10% from diversified aspects such as the
fuel combustion, heat dissipation of compartment, power utilization, etc. In the
meantime, the economical diesel-powered system can also save about 30% fuel, and
reduce 40% emission of greenhouse gas. Yutong
also spares no efforts in guaranteeing the comfort of vehicle. The independent
suspension applied in the front axle of ZK6251G greatly reduces the floor height
of vehicle, enabling the passage to be increased to 940mm, which substantially
increases the space inside vehicle, and maintains the spaciousness. In addition,
this design is adaptable to the relatively larger bouncing space on the single-side
wheel, and has good smoothness of the spring. As a result, both the driver and
passengers will not experience too much discomfort even if the vehicle turns around
a corner. As
a solution to the field of road mobility in Challenge Bibendum, this "Golden
Bullet" is more preferable in speed besides its super-long body which can
increase the passenger-loading capacity and alleviate the crowded condition in
buses in big cities. As a comparison to the average speed of eight kilometers
in the current urban area, this vehicle can maintain the driving speed as high
as 20 kilometers even when the number of passengers reaches the maximum. Therefore,
the bus company's operating efficiency can be greatly enhanced, and the value
marketing concept centering on the customer demand which has also consistently
been advocated by Yutong Bus Company can also be demonstrated. It
is worth mentioning that ZK6251G also fully embodies the humanized design of BRT
bus and Yutong R & D staff's understanding and application of BRT. Four entrance
and exit doors are arranged on both sides of bus, which can not only provides
convenience to passengers, but also save valuable travel time for most of people.
The head of
Yutong's marketing department indicates that BRT bus has been considered as a
piece of shining scenery in the urban area, Yutong shall not only be more strict
and innovative with the appearance design, reflect humanistic concerns in the
detailed allocation, but also strive to be continuously committed to the development
of more energy-saving and emission-reduced products. In this challenge tournament,
in addition to this gold valued "Golden Bullet" of ZK6251G, other types
such as "Flying Eagle" shaped ZK6128HGN and gentlemanlike ZK6126HGA
have also been well received. By adopting natural gas as the fuel, ZK6128HGN has
reached the Euro V emission standard while ZK6126HGA has reached the Euro IV emission
standard. Insiders from the industry introduced that the clean energy and engine
thermal management technology applied in both models represent the development
trend of domestic environmentally-friendly bus.
