China leads the global electric bus revolution: Europe and the United States have stagnated
"Reference News" 2018-06-27 00:27:16
German media said that on Chang'an Avenue, which crosses the capital city of Beijing in the east-west direction, every bus stop on the bus stops in the kind of bus that we see in all the cities of the world, until the last seat.

According to the German "Spiegel" weekly website reported on June 25, next, a bus to stop. The 1st bus line began operation in 1950, almost as long as the history of New China. The bus looks different: it is painted in red and white, and the front of the bus is streamlined, like a dolphin on wheels. A silent dolphins.

The report stated that because bus 1 is no longer powered by diesel or natural gas, it is driven by a lithium titanate battery. When it starts, it can only hear a soft buzz.

Reported that in the fall of 2017, the first batch of new cars began to be put into operation on the No. 1 bus line. By 2020, 10,000 such buses will be on the road, and about one-third of the buses in a city with a population of about 20 million will be electrified. Progress may be faster. More than 4,000 electric and hybrid buses are now on the road.

According to the report, it is a severe dilemma that pushes China into the era of electric buses and allows it to take a leading position in this lucrative future market. Urban residents can no longer tolerate air pollution. The government hopes to get rid of the haze. An effective means is the electrification of buses. So far, buses consume up to 30 times more fuel than ordinary cars.

According to reports, according to data provided by industry service provider Bloomberg New Energy Finance, there are currently about 385,000 electric buses on the road, of which 99% are in China. Today, nearly one-fifth of Chinese buses have no internal combustion engine. The trend of electric buses is: a strong increase.

Therefore, China is leading in this development. Large Western cities have just begun to show this kind of development.

According to the report, China is pushing its way to the future, while the European electric revolution has stagnated. London also plans to electrify the bus fleet - but wait until 2030. So far, only 4 bus lines in the city have been replaced by electric buses. New York even set 2040 as its goal for achieving emissions-free buses.

According to reports, the situation in Germany is even worse. Of the 78,345 buses that were licensed on the road in 2016, only 458 were driven by electricity in whole or in part. The Federal Motor Transport Agency of Germany has not released the 2017 data yet.

According to reports, the Chinese are more agile. Six months ago, Shenzhen, a high-tech metropolis in southern China, announced the completion of bus electrification: all buses there have been replaced with pure electric vehicles, totaling 16,359 vehicles. They have a daily mileage of 2.85 million kilometers.

The report said that BYD, a manufacturer, regularly sends newsletters to tell reporters which cities in the world have sold electric buses. In December of last year, 23 electric buses entered Italy's Novara and Turin. In January this year, the company again sold two electric buses to Norway.

The report pointed out that China's large offensive has another positive impact. Due to a stable sales market, mass production is worthwhile. This in turn reduces manufacturing costs. According to an analysis by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, the operating cost per kilometre of electric buses in some large cities today is already lower than that of diesel vehicles.

At the same time, the Chinese are consolidating their market advantages. In 2017, 90,000 electric buses were sold worldwide, almost all of which were produced by Chinese manufacturers.

This is even more exciting because electric buses have another advantage: they can reduce global oil demand.

“We estimate that due to the use of electric buses, global oil demand will drop by about 280,000 barrels per day this year,” said David Doerty, an analyst at Bloomberg New Energy Finance, which is equivalent to 10% of total vehicle diesel demand in China. about. By 2030, electric buses will reduce global daily oil demand by about 420,000 barrels.

The report said that in terms of global demand, this amount is very small. Dorty said, but by 2030, 90% of the world's oil is saved by China. China therefore found a way to reduce its dependence on oil.
