Trial operation of driverless bus successful in China

A Chinese bus maker announced Monday that its ‪#‎driverless‬ ‪#‎bus‬ has completed a successful trial-operation on an intercity road in central China's Henan Province.

The 10.5-meter hybrid bus by Yutong Bus Co., Ltd., ran around 32.6 kilometers on the intercity road linking Zhengzhou City with Kaifeng City in late August, according to Yutong.

The driverless bus has passed all tests including identifying all 26 traffic lights on the road, automatically changing lanes and overtaking vehicles in neighboring lanes, the company said.

The bus is installed with two cameras, four laser radars, one set of millimeter wave radar and integrated navigation system. "You can shift between driverless mode and manual mode," said Tang Wang, deputy chief engineer of the company.

In 2014, Yutong's sales volume of buses and coaches reached over 60,000 units, ranking top in the world. Its products have been exported to more than 120 countries and regions.

Chinese bus maker Yutong's new factory will be inaugurated in western Venezuela in October, said Haiman El Troudi, Venezuelan minister of land transportation Friday.

According to El Troudi, construction of the factory, designed with a capacity to assemble 3,500 buses per year, is progressing smoothly in state of Yaracuy, with 86 percent of building work being done. The new facility will have eight assembling posts, two buildings, a parking lot and a test ramp for the buses.

"The total investment in this plant along with our Yutong partners has been of 675 million U.S. dollars and will generate 1, 650 jobs for the citizens of this area," said the official, who disclosed that 40 people have been recruited and will be sent to China to receive professional training from Yutong soon.

Upon completion, the new factory will assemble three types of buses not only for Venezuela's needs but also for Yutong's clients in Latin America and the Caribbean.

President Nicolas Maduro in July approved the plan for creation of a joint venture between his government and Yutong to set up its most "modern" plant in Latin America.

So far, about 5,000 Yutong buses have been exported to Venezuela for services in 80 urban routes in the last 36 months.

Lots and lots of Yutong buses across Taiwan. They are the most comfortable ones to ride, frankly. Especially the new ones with automatic transmission just slide so smoothly and silently.

Thank you Mainland for providing nice buses in Taiwan province.
