Range Extended Hybrid Electric Coach

First Range Extended Electric coach developed and built in Hong Kong
Powered by advanced Siemens ELFA® electric drive system
Equipped with Siemens on board generator which recharges battery whenever battery runs low
Range is greatly extended through on board generation and regenerative braking.
No more down time for recharging nor requires a comprehensive vehicle recharging facility
On board generator operates at optimum speed, resulting in lower noise, substantially lower emissions and much better fuel economy
Fuel saving up to 40% compared to conventional diesel coach, additional cost of investment can be recovered within 30 months
Range extender complies with EURO VI emission standard, reduction of carbon emission up to 70% of diesel counterpart
Battery life significantly improved with carefully designed battery operation range and charging strategy
Simple mechanical construction reduces maintenance requirement substantially.
Gradeability up to 27%, suitable for the most hilly environment.
Achieving the win-win target by enhancing cost effectiveness and environment protection, “the more you drive, the more you save”.
