Business Wire
- The UQM powered bus was shown for the
first time on June 16-18, 2017 in Shenzhen, China at the Shenzhen
International Electric Tradeshow
- UQM has seen a noteworthy increase in
the China market to electrify an array of vehicle classes with
compatible UQM electric drive solutions
UQM Technologies Inc. (NYSE MKT: UQM) today announced
that Shenzhen Wuzhoulong Motors, a new energy bus manufacturer,
recently unveiled a 12-meter bus for the China market, powered by
the UQM electric drive system. Wuzhoulong Motors announced this bus
at the Shenzhen International Electric Tradeshow as the Wuzhoulong
F2 Felicity 12-meter fast charge high performance bus.
This 12-meter bus uses the UQM PowerPhase®DT HD250 propulsion
system with the UQM 2-speed Eaton transmission. According to
Wuzhoulong Motors, with peak power of 250 kW and peak torque of
3050 Nm, this bus saves 32% in volume and 53% in weight when
compared with the leading bus E-drive competitors in the
marketplace. In addition to the advantages of the UQM electric
propulsion system, the Wuzhoulong bus adopts a light weight design
and aluminum body to realize higher EV performance.
Joe Mitchell, CEO of UQM said, “After much hard work getting
this bus deployed, we are glad to see the market entry of the UQM
drivetrain in China. This should speed up the adoption of UQM
technology in China, and underscores the move away from direct
drive towards more power and torque dense UQM motors paired with a
2-speed transmission as the most efficient solution for the transit
bus vehicle application in the marketplace.”
Wuzhoulong Motors started China’s first national new energy bus
commercial demo operation route line in 2005. Today, nearly 3,000
Wuzhoulong new energy buses are running in more than 20 routes in
China.
Mr. Chen Qingquan with the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and
the World Electric Vehicle Association Founding President, said
during the unveiling, “UQM has very good power density and high
performance. The UQM drive system Wuzhoulong used has better
performance than the other E-drive suppliers, and the UQM drive
system saves in volume and weight. Today, I’m very happy to see UQM
come to China and become bigger and bigger.”
