First Aluminum bus demonstrated in Zhengzhou
To reduce the weight of passenger bus is to improve fuel efficiency, energy-saving as well as to reduce emissions, new model demonstrated by Yutong can also effectively improve operator's profitability under the circumstances of straightly rising in fuel costs.
ZK6126HGE co-conducted by Yutong and Alcoa beginning in October, 2008, is the first green bus with completely new aluminum body. Large-scale combination of welding and riveting manner in body design greatly assures the body's smoothness and appearance. Aluminum used in the framework and high strength, light weight of aluminum outer skin of the body material, apparently reduces the weight of bus about 46% compared to traditional bus.
According to calculations, the self-weight of each bus reduced by 10%, fuel consumption could be saved as much as 6% ~ 8%. Apparently, ZK6126HGE can significantly improve fuel economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and can be named but a few of the new generation of energy-saving and environmental-protection bus on behalf of public transport.
In addition, new model can lower the vehicle center of gravity as a result of body weight, more stable operation to further improve the safety performance. Moreover, corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy body has a new leap forward into product quality and keeping more durable.
