In December 2024, Hubei Shengda Automobile and Wuhan Public Transport Group reached a cooperation, providing 30 new energy special vehicles for the transportation of public transport employees and maintenance equipment.
Wuhan Public Transport Group has a large number of employees, and the daily commuting of employees and the transportation of maintenance equipment need a large number of vehicles. The traditional fuel - powered vehicles used by the group have high operating costs and large exhaust emissions, which do not meet the requirements of Wuhan's green travel development strategy. In addition, the traditional vehicles have poor comfort, and the maintenance equipment is easy to be damaged during transportation due to the lack of fixed devices.
The new energy special vehicles provided by Hubei Shengda Automobile are powered by a 200kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, which has a cruising range of 350 kilometers on a single charge, meeting the daily transportation needs. The vehicle is equipped with a fast charging system, which can be charged to 80% of the battery capacity in 1 hour. The interior of the vehicle is designed with ergonomic seats, with air conditioning and heating systems, improving the comfort of employees during commuting.
For the transportation of maintenance equipment, the vehicle is equipped with a special fixing device. The compartment is divided into several areas by adjustable partitions, and each area is equipped with a locking device, which can fix different types of maintenance equipment such as wrenches, screwdrivers and generators to prevent them from colliding and being damaged during transportation. The floor of the compartment is made of anti - slip material, which ensures the safety of loading and unloading.
The use of these new energy vehicles has reduced the operating cost of Wuhan Public Transport Group by 40% compared with traditional fuel - powered vehicles. The emission of carbon dioxide has been reduced by more than 500 tons per year, making positive contributions to Wuhan's air quality improvement. Mr. Li, the director of the logistics department of the group, said: "These new energy special vehicles are not only environmentally friendly and energy - saving, but also very practical. The comfort of employees has been significantly improved, and the damage rate of maintenance equipment has been reduced by more than 30%. We are very satisfied with this cooperation and will continue to promote the application of new energy vehicles in the group."
