One after another, Jiuzhou Automobile and Huaxia Automobile have gradually entered into the work and life of consumers.
In addition, in the field of commercial vehicles, Five Star Automobile is also constantly conquering cities and territories, and its development speed is not even slower than that of the more eye-catching passenger cars.
The main source of help comes from the official support of China!
Sheep City, bus company accommodation area.
Early in the morning, after washing up and putting on work clothes, Yue Changhui, who is in his forties this year, hurried out. He first went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and then went to work. Compared to his usual mood of not wanting to go to work every day, he was slightly looking forward to going to work today. !
As for why, it's because the latest batch of brand-new five-star cars are officially launched today and are ready for use. They will replace the old 2-way cars!
And he happens to be a driver who specializes in driving this road.
The name of Kyushu Motors has spread among a certain range of people over time. The powerful electric vehicles are more comfortable to drive than the previous manual transmission buses. It is said that there are many comfortable configurations.
This is Xichuan. As a professional driver, Yue Changhui knows Jiuzhou Motors very well, whether it is the quality of the vehicle or other configurations of the car.
In the past few months, taxi drivers in the city have often discussed how good Jiuzhou cars are.
Although it is not a working system, they are all drivers and masters who are very concerned about the performance of the vehicle and the driving experience.
When we arrived at the cafeteria, there were already more than a dozen bus drivers and masters sitting here. While everyone was eating breakfast in the cafeteria, they were discussing the important things that were going to happen today.
The center of the discussion was naturally the new batch of new energy buses replaced by the bus company today.
"Jiuzhou Motors' buses, I wonder if there is any big difference in quality and driving between the buses produced by this company and those cars."
"Overall, it should be good. I haven't heard of any of Kyushu Motor's products being overturned. Even the latest batch of new models from Huaxia Motors and Kyushu Motors. I've heard people who have bought them say so. How good it is."
"There are also good reviews on the Internet. They say it is a perfect car. It makes me want to buy a Kyushu car and drive it every day."
"I've long wanted to try Kyushu Auto's products, but it's a pity why it's not the No. 2 car I drive. My No. 6 car is obviously quite worn out. It's been eight years since I drove it."
"Oh, my No. 3 car is miserable. I just bought a new car last year. Although it's okay to drive, I would rather drive a Kyushu car. Electric cars don't require shifting gears, and there's no need to step on the clutch every day."
"Don't worry, I have a hunch that it might be the same as those taxis. Because electric vehicles are cheaper to use and have emissions, as long as they are used well, the replacement of five-star vehicles will be accelerated."
"It depends on the next experience. Yue Changhui and you should be the first batch to experience it. Come back at noon and tell us how you feel!"
After a hasty breakfast, Yue Changhui and several other workers eagerly headed towards the work area.
Several brand-new buses are parked in the parking area of the bus company, parked among a large number of buses, and they stand out like chickens.
The buses of Five Star Motors are obviously very different from the buses of other brands around them. From the body lines to the various interior decorations inside the vehicles, they are products of two eras in comparison!
The door opened and Yue Changhui sat in the cab of the new car.
The first feeling is that it is comfortable. Whether it is the seat or other things, it has been greatly improved compared to before!
The pneumatic seats used in long-distance trucks improve the ride comfort, and it can be said that the driving experience is better than those of cars.
Then the ventilation and heating functions of the seats provide a good guarantee for a comfortable driving experience in hot summers and cold winters.
Compared with the upright, long shift lever next to the front driver's seat, the five-star car's gear control is on the front center console. It is very small and has only three gears, forward, reverse and park.
Generally speaking, this new energy bus basically does not need to change gears. It may always be in the forward gear after a trip. There is no need to step on the clutch or change gears at any time according to the speed of the vehicle.
Next to the center console, there is a clear and huge color screen, which can almost give you an unobstructed view of the entire car. Compared with the previous small TV, it is a huge improvement!
At the same time, next to the driver's seat, there used to be a bulging engine compartment, which often caused huge noise during driving and increased temperatures in summer. The bulge in the engine compartment often even caused passengers to sit on top of the engine compartment!
This five-star bus does not have the huge bulge, and is replaced by a partition from the passenger area, which completely changes the direct and intimate communication with passengers, and passengers can directly see the driver's working conditions.
The driving position is separated, which is equivalent to giving the driver a relatively private space. Of course, passengers can also communicate with the driver if they want. There is a small window in the middle for the passengers and the driver to have a conversation.
There is a large color TV in the passenger area behind the driver's seat, and the seating layout is also very different from today's buses.
All in all, everything is much better than the previous bus!
"Then, let's get to work."
At 7.20 in the morning, when the sky was dimly lit, the whole city gradually recovered. At the time when students went to school and workers went to work, buses drove out of the bus company in order.
First they drove together for one or two stops, and then different bus routes went in different directions, providing convenience to passengers throughout the city who needed to go out in the morning.
After the vehicle has traveled a certain distance, the power is very different from the previous buses.
"As expected of being produced by Kyushu Motors, the car can run very fast with just a tap of the accelerator. It is more powerful than most fuel-powered cars."
"It is said that this car uses four Suzaku motors at the front and rear, with a horsepower of more than 1,500 horsepower. It is absolutely awesome in terms of power!"
"When you point your toes, you can feel the continuous output of power. It's so cool. When driving on open roads in some cities, you can also run a little faster..."
The original bus, because it uses CNG gas and does not require too much power in many cases, all in all feels very fat when driving. It cannot be accelerated if you want to go faster. If you want to go faster, it takes a long time to accelerate. OK.
Of course, in most cases, buses do not need to travel particularly fast when traveling on urban roads.
However, whether there is power and whether it is needed are two different things, and the driving experience is also two completely different experiences.
Sometimes you can overtake or avoid vehicles by accelerating, but this car can be driven more calmly!
"It is said that Kyushu Motors is still developing something like autonomous driving. Our main job in the future will be to watch the buses run. Only when the intelligent driving is incorrect, we need to actively intervene. This will make the work easier!"
After the vehicle traveled a certain distance, it was about to arrive at a bus stop. Several students who had gone to school early in the morning waved at the bus driven by Yue Changhui from a distance.
The bus stopped next to the platform, and the students walked onto the bus with some novelty.
Several students found seats and sat down while chatting with their classmates.
"Hey, this bus has changed."
"It looks better. The original car is old, so it should be replaced."
"Well, it feels much taller than the previous bus. Compared with the rumbling engine sound of the previous bus, the buzzing sound is not so noisy when riding!"
"It seems like the air conditioner is on inside. It's much cooler than the previous car!"
"There is also a TV. I wonder if it will show cartoons!"
The students were a little novel, but they didn't know much about vehicles, so they quickly turned to chatting with friends about interesting things about school.
Students going to school, white-collar workers going to work, young men and women preparing to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get married, middle-aged women going to the market to buy vegetables in the morning, holding carpentry tools, workers going to work near the recently built real estate, all kinds of people, getting in the car and going to work. Get off the car, come and go in a hurry.
For this new car, most people will look at it a little more at the beginning, and then calm down.
Life goes on, but better vehicles can make everyone’s life and travel more comfortable.
It can make people on the bus feel cool in the hot summer and bring people warmth in the cold winter.
This is Yue Changhui's daily life, transporting people to where they want to go and making life and travel convenient for everyone.
It took more than an hour for the bus to arrive at the terminal, a village on the edge of the city.
The vehicle stopped, and there were villagers carrying burdens and baskets on their backs, including girls and boys aged 17 or 18, preparing to go into the city to start their day.
After a fifteen-minute rest, the vehicle continues its journey.
After more than an hour, at 9:30 in the morning, the vehicle returned to the parking area of the bus company where it departed in the morning on time.
Here, Yue Changhui can take a short rest for half an hour, and then continue the journey just now.
The work is boring, but this is work, it makes people helpless, but it has to be done.
After getting off the car, Yue Changhui saw several driver masters gathered together, and then walked forward to chat with them.
As soon as he sat on the resting position, several people next to him couldn't wait to ask.
"How is it? Is Kyushu Motors' car easy to drive?"
"As for power, Kyushu Motor's power has always been a selling point in publicity. Has it been inherited from this Red Star Motor?"
"It should make you feel much better when you drive it. I see there are partitions in the cab. Compared with old cars like ours, it's like driving alone, and you have to face all kinds of problems from the passengers."
Recalling it carefully, Yue Changhui took a sip of tea from the cup he brought with him and said with a smile: "The taste is incredible. It's very comfortable. The automatic transmission is much more comfortable. There is no engine noise like the previous car, and the air conditioner is very comfortable." Awesome, this car has enough power, you can turn on the air conditioner all day without any problem!”
"The power is absolutely amazing, but you can't drive too fast. Otherwise, I feel that running over 100 to 200 kilometers per hour will be very easy. Running long distances will definitely be comfortable."
"The partitions in the cab are really good. The sense of security and privacy is much stronger. The small windows can also be opened and closed electrically. They can only be opened when passengers need to ask questions. All in all, it is comfortable!"
"No way, I also want to drive bus No. 2, I want to drive a new car!"
All of a sudden, several bus drivers were talking about it.
But that’s all, to make adjustments for the ordinary and ordinary life. Although I want to drive the vehicles, there are only a few of them. It is impossible for all the bus drivers and masters to replace them. I still look forward to when a large-scale replacement will be carried out. Buses are more realistic!
Time flies quickly, and it’s time to get off work in the afternoon. At 7.30 in the evening, the last train is available.
Generally speaking, the bus needs to be filled with CNG gas at this time, but as an electric bus, there is no need to queue up for gas.
In the past, every time I refueled, I basically had to go there at around 8pm, which would take a long time.
Buses are larger vehicles and have larger gas cylinder capacities than cars. A refill often takes about half an hour.
But today’s battery-swapping buses don’t even need to go to a battery-swapping station!
When there is free time in the evening, a mobile tram-swapping car from Dongfang Electric Power Company will drive directly to the bus station to replace the battery packs of these buses. As long as the battery packs are fully charged by the time of work the next day!
Nowadays, there are relatively few buses with battery replacement, and only ten No. 2 buses need battery replacement.
When there are more battery-swapping buses in the future, dozens or hundreds of bus battery packs can be replaced at a time, and there will be no need for hundreds of bus masters to drive to the battery-swapping station, allowing everyone to have a better rest.
For the staff at the battery swap station, they have to go to work anyway, so it is not bad to drive a battery swap car out for a spin at night when the workload is light.
For gas stations and gas stations, it is impossible to build a gas station specifically in the bus parking area to provide door-to-door service, but it can be reached by taking a tram, and the service attitude is great!
Following taxi companies, orders from bus companies are also constantly flowing to Five Star Auto.
Large commercial vehicles gradually replace the old gas buses in the city, or the large shuttle buses between cities.
Lower vehicle use costs are a very important attribute for commercial vehicles that need to travel long distances every day. Urban public transportation construction and maintenance costs are lower, which is more conducive to improving the travel of urban residents.
At the same time, there is another goal that every country attaches great importance to nowadays, and that is environmental protection.
A five-star company has prototyped trams that are lower in use and maintenance costs and more environmentally friendly. They will be the first choice for urban bus travel in the future.
As long as five-star cars are produced, there will be no shortage of orders. Even if they go out of Xichuan Province, there will be demand in other domestic big cities, Magic Capital, Kyoto and other cities.
After just half a month of piloting, testing and use, orders are pouring in for Five Star Motors, and production tasks have been scheduled for a year!
Of course, there are also electric commercial vehicles produced by some domestic bus companies that purchase the Suzaku power system from Kyushu Motors.
But Five-Star Cars still have great advantages, such as the vehicle's chassis parts, safety systems, intelligent vehicle controls, vehicle styling and design, etc. There is nothing wrong with it except that the price is slightly more expensive!
