Yutong Bus&Coach, a leading Chinese bus manufacturer, has unveiled a groundbreaking innovation that is set to revolutionize the commercial vehicle industry. Their latest offering, the Yutong YEA electric bus system, boasts a cutting-edge multi-source super-cold climate heat pump that redefines efficiency and sustainability. This remarkable system intelligently harnesses waste heat from the vehicle’s power components, such as batteries, motors, and drivetrain, to provide heating without wasting a single trace of thermal energy. By adaptively selecting the optimal heat sources based on environmental conditions, the YEA’s heat pump can operate at temperatures as low as -25°C, delivering over 30% in energy savings for heating.
Charging Ahead with Unparalleled Efficiency
Complementing its advanced thermal management, the Yutong YEA also introduces a pioneering charging system that sets new benchmarks in the industry. Equipped with a revolutionary 600A independent dual-gun charging setup, the YEA can be charged at twice the capacity of the current European standard of 200A and the Chinese standard of 250A. Utilizing an ultrasonic welding process, Yutong has pushed the boundaries of charging current, while its BMS dual-channel independent communication protocol ensures full compatibility and seamless integration with any charger. The modular design even allows for future expansion to triple or quadruple charging capabilities, ensuring that customers can maximize the potential of their existing charging infrastructure.
Intelligent Connectivity for a Smarter, Safer Ride
Yutong’s commitment to innovation extends beyond its exceptional thermal management and charging capabilities. The YEA’s intelligent cockpit integrates the central console, instrument panel, switches, and air conditioning controls, seamlessly blending technology and user experience. Adopting a “multi-screen on one single chip” integrated control architecture, the YEA’s cockpit supports intuitive interaction modes, including intelligent voice control, mobile phone interconnection, and multi-directional screen projection. By expanding functionality by 20% while reducing physical switches by 60%, Yutong has created a user experience that is not only safer and more convenient but also smarter and more engaging.
Conclusion
At the heart of the Yutong YEA’s intelligent ecosystem lies a powerful connected cloud platform that harnesses the power of big data and high-performance computing. This platform boasts PB-level (1 million GB) storage and tera-scale processing capabilities, enabling a comprehensive suite of intelligent features. From automated pre-operation self-inspection and dangerous driving behavior management to adaptive energy optimization and predictive maintenance, the YEA’s cloud platform sets new standards for operational efficiency, safety, and cost savings.
