70 electric buses with double the maximum range of conventional electric cars will go into use in June in northeast China's Jilin Province, a researcher said recently.
The bus, driven by a Lithium-ion battery, can travel more than 300 km on a 20-minute battery recharge, compared with 100-150 km for conventional electric cars that usually take more time to recharge. The increased range was gained by using the advance LiFeP04 battery, which was safer and had a longer life than the widely-used lead acid cell.
The government of Liaoyuan was buying 20 of the 24-seat buses and the Changchun city government had ordered 50 units.
The 24-seat buses are being made jointly by the Tongkun New Energy Technologies Co., Ltd and FAW Bus and Coach Company and will run on the roads in the provincial capital of Changchun City, and Liaoyuan, about 200 km to the south of Changchun, as of June.
