The 12M electric bus,which is designed to carry 70 passengers,was completed in March this year and passed the European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval (ECWVTA). The tests on power consumption and the continuous slope ability of the 12M electric bus were conducted on multiple bus routes in Hong Kong from October 9 to October 11,2018.The testsshowed that the electricity consumption per kilometer at different speeds ranged from 0.733 to 1.171.

According to statistics,from 2018 to 2030,China's new large and medium-sized electric passenger cars will bring market value up to RMB 14 trillion. The driving force for the rapid development of the new energy automobile industry is mainly due to the substantial increase in output at the supply end and the gradual increase of the market demand.

China will soon become the biggest market of new energy automobile in the world,turning it into a market focus for domestic and international manufacturers. Alongside the in-depth integration of artificial intelligence,new generation information technology and new materials into new energy vehicles,the new energy automobile industry has entered a period of strategic transition -a period in which it goes beyond the developing opportunity period.
