The Sixth Session of the Third SW Board Meeting will take place in the last third of August. The total sales from January to July in 2010 add up to 1821 units, taking up 58.7% of the 3100-unit sales plan. Severe difficulty still exists in meeting 2010 sales target. Sales Company is sparing no effort to explore markets outside Shanghai and is trying to make breakthrough in August.
New energy buses were first launched pilot run in Pudong. 75 units of diesel-motor hybrid buses have been launched to 5 lines as No. 119, No. 610, No. 779, No. 785 and No. 792, which occupy half of pilot run buses in Shanghai. These buses are only driven by two dynamic systems of internal-combustion engine and electric motor. Diesel motors are shut in the process of starting and low-speed drive; in the process of speed reduction, the hybrid system exchanges unnecessary energy into electric power and stores it in batteries, which largely reduces gas emission. Meanwhile, 9.6-km Expo Park super-capacitor Puming Line facilities have been set up invested by Pudong New Area District Government in Expo Park. Currently, Euro III and Euro IV standard buses have occupied 60% of Pudong New Area District transportation lines. New energy buses have also been promoted for application.
