Automotive Black Technology Chapter 884: ：Zhengxin Type I Electric Bus

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of automotive black technology!

Li Fanyu’s plan is quite crude. It just expresses his idea of ​​putting Internet buses into practical use; he wants to change the No. 9 bus line in Tiancheng City with relatively low passenger flow into an electric bus line.

Cheng Gang naturally had no reason not to agree to this request.

"Xiao Fan, when will your product be ready for this project? I need to know the specific time, so I can arrange it in advance."

Li Fanyu thought for a while and gave the date: "More than a week."

"Ahem," Cheng Gang choked on his own tea, "Isn't the time a little tight? In such a short time, I can't guarantee that I can coordinate it well for you."

There are indeed difficulties, otherwise Cheng Gang would not have said that.

Although buses are basic transportation, bus routes in Tiancheng City are all contracted by bus companies. The rights to use the lines are in private hands, so coordination from the city government is definitely required.

It is not something that can be decided by one's own words. It is a matter of personal interest. Even Cheng Gang does not dare to guarantee it.

After hearing Cheng Gang explain the reason, Li Fanyu thought for a moment and said, "Well... you don't have to worry about the route. I'll go talk to the bus company responsible for the No. 5 bus route myself. It's nothing more than money. But the other two items on the plan still need your help.”

The two orders Li Fanyu pointed out are naturally the approval of charging pile infrastructure and the application of electric vehicles in public transportation.

These two were formalities, but Cheng Gang did not refuse.

After leaving the city hall, Li Fanyu immediately called the group. The latter took less than two hours to directly buy Tiancheng Bohai Bus Company, which is responsible for the fifth route.

Yes, he is so wealthy!

Why is Li Fanyu so anxious?

There is nothing we can do if we don’t rush!

Because the entry-level model of X super molten metal battery was used at that time, the entire bus design was extremely simple.

The entire chassis is actually a steering system, braking system, electronic control system plus the core part - a large battery pack plus two permanent magnet synchronous motors.

With such a simple structure, coupled with the country's current relaxed policies for the new energy industry, Li Fanyu is confident that the Type I bus will be approved as quickly as possible.

The bus works almost twelve hours a day without interruption, making it the best test object for durability in use.

After all, it was Zhengxin’s first time coming into contact with an electric car. Li Fanyu was naturally interested in this perfect test product.

Besides this, there is...

It cost 1.5 billion to paralyze an

People in this time and space don’t know, but Li Fanyu knows very well that BYD made a fortune with its electric bus products.

Now that it’s my turn, of course I can’t let this opportunity pass me by!

So in a sense, the Type I bus is an example of Zhengxin showing its battery technology and electric vehicle capabilities to the outside world.

As the saying goes, you have to be famous early. At this juncture when TSL's first product is about to enter China, Li Fanyu naturally wants progress and speed.

……

Things turned out exactly as Li Fanyu expected.

The Zhengxin Type I electric bus rolled off the production line quickly. Because of its simple and rough structure, the body part adopts a traditional bus structure, and with previous experience in school bus research and development, all approvals were passed in one go.

It only took more than a week to reach mass production standards.

But in fact, Zhengxin currently does not have a production line specifically for electric buses - because the research and development is carried out too suddenly and quickly, and production is still in the preparatory stage.

So the R&D center used manual manufacturing methods to quickly manufacture ten Type I buses.

Bus No. 5 does not go around the city, but runs from Tiancheng Railway Station to the Convention and Exhibition Center on the outskirts of the city.

Originally, with the large and affordable battery packs of the I-type buses, there was actually no problem at all when running back and forth. However, for safety reasons, Zhengxin still established two electric pile base stations at the starting point and the end point.

Because electric vehicles are not developing rapidly in China in this time and space, when I saw the advertising poster at the No. 5 bus stop, the white and green "Zhengxin I Pure Electric No. 5 Bus" was spray-painted with artistic calligraphy on the body. Everyone feels that the tram with the word "car" on it is unreliable.

Even the driver of the Bohai Bus Company who drove this car felt a little inexplicably scared.

Paralysis!

I heard that this car was developed and produced in less than two weeks!

Why does this look so shoddy?

I heard you want me to drive such a bus?

Is it really not life-threatening?

In fact, even Cheng Gang, who facilitated this incident, did not take it seriously. Because judging from the current situation, he estimated that Zhengxin was just using this as a test.

Otherwise, why would it be called a pilot!

Even the people in Tiancheng Li Fanyu's hometown and the headquarters of Zhengxin Group are not optimistic about it, let alone the attitude of the outside world.

Reminiscent of TSL’s recent entry into the Chinese market, the media generally speculated that Zhengxin was impatient and just casually produced an electric car to assert its presence.

Zhengshin's I-type electric buses are really similar to the supercapacitor buses currently in use in Ura City and Qingdao - at least in appearance, they are too similar.

Especially since Zhengxin has not announced the performance parameters of this bus to the outside world, it is even easier for people to doubt its performance - this is not Zhengxin's usual style!

For example, the Nantong Evening News bluntly compared Zhengxin's electric bus to "a school bag occupying a seat in a university study room" - occupying the space before anyone arrives!

In Beijing, John Wayne, who was preparing to hold a pre-sale launch ceremony on the official website, showed considerable interest after seeing the news about Zhengxin.

"How could this Li Fanyu think of building a bus? Is he afraid of direct competition with TSL? However, will the battery technology mentioned before be used in this bus?"

John Wayne shook his head and ordered his assistant: "Pay attention to the movements of the Zhengxin bus. Remember, pay close attention to their battery life performance!"

Pu City, Toyota China Headquarters.

Toyoda Chinatsu looked at the IPAD in her hand and frowned.

Her assistant, who was more like a housekeeper, saw her staring blankly at the news about Zhengxin's electric bus, so he smiled and said: "Miss, Zhengxin is doing this, it seems to be avoiding the important and taking the easy way, and trying to save the country. In the electric vehicle market , TSL now has a reputation for luxury electric vehicles, and our Toyota hybrid models have occupied the mid-range market. They may have been forced to make electric buses. ”

When Chinatsu Toyoda heard this, she shook her head.

"This guy Li Fanyu must not be underestimated. Every decision made by this person later proves to be of great significance to the development of Zhengxin. The truth will never be as public opinion says. But I think that electric buses The bus is a good idea in China. Zhengxin has abundant government resources. If this bus can meet the needs of daily use, the market prospect is not necessarily smaller than TSL or our current one."

"That..."

"Send someone to Tiancheng to observe carefully."

"Hi!"

......

It was under such attention and criticism that the Zhengxin Type I bus was officially put into use!
