Yutong Bus&Coach, a leading Chinese bus manufacturer, has introduced the Yutong YEA, their latest electric bus model with a groundbreaking multi-source heat pump system. This ingenious system intelligently harnesses the waste heat from the battery electric vehicle‘s power components, using it to provide heating without any thermal energy waste. By adaptively selecting the optimal heat sources based on environmental conditions, the YEA’s heat pump can operate even in extreme temperatures as low as -25°C, delivering over 30% in energy savings for heating. Impressively, the YEA maintains stable and reliable performance in harsh conditions ranging from -40°C to 60°C, while also enhancing the winter driving range by more than 10%.
Unprecedented Charging Capabilities
The Yutong YEA also features a pioneering charging system that sets new benchmarks. Equipped with a revolutionary 600A independent dual-gun charging setup, the YEA can be charged at twice the capacity of the current European and Chinese standards. Utilizing an innovative 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 allows for future expansion to triple or quadruple charging capabilities, enabling customers to maximize their existing infrastructure. Moreover, the YEA’s liquid-cooled, single-gun charging system can deliver megawatt-level ultra-charging, redefining fast and efficient energy replenishment.
Intelligent, Interconnected, and Intuitive
Yutong’s innovation extends to the YEA’s intelligent cockpit, which seamlessly integrates the controls and 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 safer, more convenient, and engaging user experience.
Conclusion
At the heart of the YEA’s intelligent ecosystem lies a powerful connected cloud platform that harnesses big data and high-performance computing. This platform enables a comprehensive suite of intelligent features, from automated pre-operation self-inspection and dangerous driving behavior management to adaptive energy optimization and predictive maintenance. By continuously evolving and expanding its applications, Yutong is poised to shape the future of commercial vehicle operations, delivering unparalleled intelligence and sustainability.
