Yutong Bus has successfully completed a rigorous endurance test in Saudi Arabia, showcasing the exceptional energy efficiency and battery safety performance of its flagship electric bus, the E11 Pro. The test highlights the vehicle’s ability to operate in extreme heat, addressing concerns about the safety and range of electric buses in such conditions. Yutong’s advanced technology and commitment to sustainability also align with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
Key Highlights:
- E11 Pro Battery Electric Bus: Showcased superior safety and performance during an extreme heat test in Saudi Arabia.
- Energy Efficiency: The bus consumed only 0.74 kWh/km during a 113-kilometer round trip, demonstrating extended range capabilities in high temperatures.
- Rapid Cooling: The bus’s climate control system reduced cabin temperature from 53.6°C to 23.6°C in just 27 minutes.
- Advanced Cooling Technology: Features a state-of-the-art air conditioning unit that delivers 38,000 Kcal/h of cooling power.
- Battery Safety: Yutong’s proprietary YESS battery protection can withstand temperatures up to 1300°C for two hours.
- Sustainability Goals: The successful performance of Yutong buses contributes to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 sustainability targets.
Cutting-Edge Technology for Extreme Environments
The E11 Pro’s all-electric climate control system is designed to maintain comfort even under extreme temperatures. Its 38,000 Kcal/h air conditioning unit increases cooling output as external temperatures rise. Additionally, the air curtain solution at the middle door prevents hot air from entering the bus, further reducing energy consumption.
The bus’s dark gray, fully-enclosed hollow glass panels enhance thermal management and noise reduction. Moreover, Yutong’s YESS battery protection solution includes a multi-layered design that resists temperatures up to 1300°C, ensuring high safety in severe conditions. The liquid cooling system doubles cooling speed compared to traditional methods and is equipped with anti-condensation and mud protection, making the bus adaptable to high temperatures and dusty environments.
Supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030
Yutong’s success in both cold and hot climates, from Kazakhstan to Saudi Arabia, showcases the bus’s adaptability to extreme temperature ranges. The company’s efforts align with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 by providing tailored energy solutions for local demands. With over 4,000 buses operating in the country, Yutong continues to lead the charge in sustainable transportation, helping Saudi Arabia achieve its green goals.
