To help airports cut emissions and create a more passenger-friendly environment, Yutong rolled out a full electric bus ZK6140BEVBD, providing a more environmentally-friendly passenger transportation solution.
In 2008, Yutong ZK6140BD diesel powered airfield bus made a high-profile debut at China’s airports where only overseas bus brands could be seen then. So far, the vehicle has achieved great success, making its way to a number of airports in China. The 13.8-meter ZK6140BEVBD electric airport apron bus, which first appeared in 2015, has now become the first choice for many airports to replace their old bus fleet.
Equipped with a permanent magnetic synchronous electric motor, an integrated controller, lithium-iron batteries, highly efficient air-conditioning systems and energy management systems, ZK6140BEVBD further cuts its energy consumption by successfully losing even more weights. For every kilometer, the bus keeps its operating costs at 0.90 RMB. When the air-conditioning system is off, the costs can be as low as just 0.70 RMB. For one year, the bus only requires an operating cost of 63,000 RMB while a diesel-powered airport apron bus costs 226,800 RMB. In addition, the bus can cut the emission of carbon dioxide by 82.845 tons each year. And it can be fully recharged in 90 minutes and is able to drive over 200 km after an additional recharge in the day time.
Apart from its high environmental friendliness, ZK6140BEVBD also achieves high safety standards. Its batteries and electric motors boast a life expectancy of over ten years. Moreover, the vehicle has already passed a number of stringent safety tests. With a standing area of 24 square meters, the bus provides ample room for passengers.

At China Airport Development Conference and Exhibition 2016 Changsha , Yutong T7 is another eye-catcher, which is aimed at the VIP transportation services at airports. Having made its appearance at a number of high-profile events in the past two years, such as China’s V-day Parade in 2015, Prime Ministers' Meeting of SCO Member States (Zhengzhou), China’s NPC and CPPCC sessions 2016 and Bo’ao Forum for Asia 2016, T7 has well established its indisputable leading position in China’s luxury coach market.
