The end of the 23rd World Bus Expo (Bus-world Kortrijk 2015) has been nearly one month. Recently, the reporter interviewed Busworld’s member of the International Jury of Bus & Bus Week (ECW) and Wang Jian, a public transportation scholar at Chongqing Jiaotong University. He briefed reporters on the development trend of the European passenger car industry in the future and the Chinese bus companies’ exhibition in Europe. which performed.

The pursuit of comfort guidelines bus technology development direction of Europe <br> <br> According to Wang Jian introduced, the European Coach Week primary safety, comfort, environmental protection, vehicle design and driver handling these five dimensions of participating vehicles from the evaluation. In these five categories of assessment projects, they are subdivided into many indicators. For example, in assessing vehicle comfort, in addition to considering the ride comfort of the vehicle, the convenience of up and down, and so on, the performance of the vehicle in use is further evaluated, such as noise in the front and rear of the vehicle, and other traffic. Factors such as the influence of the participants. “The five aspects of safety, comfort, eco-environmental protection, vehicle design and driving maneuvering are the fields that the bus industry has long been pursuing and optimizing for improvement.†Wang Jian said that early passenger car manufacturers focused on the comfort of vehicles. For example, equipped with air suspension and more comfortable seats, and in recent years, more and more bus manufacturers are paying more attention to the occupants' vision while providing passengers with comfort, and are committed to creating more pleasure for the crew. Ride experience.
This is reflected in the numerous models exhibited at the World Bus Expo. Whether it is the Syracuse S516HDH that won the European Bus Weekly Tourist Bus Award or the Iveco Magelys Lounge of the European Bus of the Year Award, a panoramic sunroof similar to a passenger car has been adopted to increase the in-vehicle permeability and create a better ride for the occupants. Ride experience. In the urban bus area, MAN's new Lion's City has also increased the vehicle side window area and uses a hinged shed that can be made of light-transmissive materials; in another example, VDL's fast-filling pure electric buses are used brightly in vehicles. The shades of color are decorated so that the occupants can enjoy a more relaxed ride environment.
In Wang Jian's view, the pursuit of comfort and design aesthetics is not only a goal to create a good ride experience, but also advances the passenger car in many parts, frame design, material selection progress.
The same applies to the concept of cross-border passenger <br> <br> long, city buses and tour buses are the two main categories of the industry, this exhibition, a number of European bus manufacturers introduced between the city bus and tourist bus Between suburban models, this model may be a major trend in the development of the European passenger car market in the future.
Wang Jian believes that Scania, Setra, and MAN all exhibited the suburbs of the city bus and tourist passenger workshops at the same time. This is the inevitable development of the European passenger car market. Previously, this type of vehicle has also developed in the domestic market, but the consideration for comfort is not comprehensive enough. The marketing in the domestic market is not very good.
European passenger car manufacturers pay great attention to the comfort and luxury investment, which has also led to the continuous development of the European passenger car industry and has become the benchmark. The reason why there are suburban vehicles between urban buses and tourist buses is that the use and distinction between urban buses and tourist buses is obvious, and comfort is not at a single level. The emergence of such models as Scania In-terlink further confirms the European market's focus on the comfort needs of occupants.
Bus electrification and battery electric buses can not be equated <br> <br> new energy buses (electric buses) is undoubtedly a major focus of this exhibition, manufacturers have introduced relevant models. In addition to alternative fuel buses, European manufacturers’ technology routes are more flexible than domestic ones in respect of the trend of electrification of buses. Wang Jian believes that the European passenger car market is quite different from the domestic market in terms of the concept of electric electrification of buses. “The electrification process of European buses is more from the perspective of market demand. The purpose is to make better use of the effectiveness of the electrification of public buses.†Wang Jian said that the domestic market is more guided by the government and policies. Plan the technical route and encourage the use of battery electric buses.
Wang Jian said that motorization is not exactly the same as using a power battery. “European market is generally using an online rechargeable electric bus or an electric bus that uses a super capacitor. As far as possible, there are fewer battery packs installed on the vehicle.†Wang Jian told reporters, but domestic policy is to encourage the use of electric battery electric buses.
At this year's show, Solaras, Volvo, and VDL all introduced electric buses that use pantograph plug-in plug-in. In addition, European electric buses are generally equipped with electric bridges (wheel and wheel drive), which has further improved the efficiency of the transmission system. In China, electric bridges are still in the experimental stage.
Wang Jian believes that with the current development of battery technology, the technical route of electrification in the European passenger car market is more practical, and the government can realize commercialization through a small amount of subsidies.
How is the balance between bus electrification and interior space layout? Through the exhibition models of this exhibition, we can see that the electrification and the interior space are not irreconcilable contradictions. Taking Solari Urbino12 electric bus as an example, the battery pack is arranged at the rear of the vehicle and on the top of the vehicle. The interior layout of the battery is not much different from that of a conventional fuel bus. Looking back at the layout of some domestic electric buses, due to the need to fit a large number of battery packs, there are not a few cases in which the occupant space was invaded.
Wang Jian emphasized that the purpose of the electrification of buses is to achieve energy-saving and emission reduction on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also allows vehicles to have more passenger space and passenger capacity; because motorization encroaches on the passenger space, it appears to be a bit of a waste of food. "The development of electric buses, ignoring the nature of urban public buses is not worth promoting." Wang Jian said that this practice has also affected the enthusiasm of public transport operators for purchasing electric buses to some extent.
China's bus market in Europe continues to rise. "In the past decade, the performance of Chinese passenger cars in the European market has undergone a major transformation." Jian Wang said frankly that he was an ordinary viewer of the World Bus Expo and now serves as the European Bus Week Review. The group judges felt that the development of Chinese bus companies in the European market.
Since modern Chinese passenger cars introduced European passenger car technology from the beginning and exported products to the European market, Chinese passenger cars have already had a certain market influence and position in the European market. Wang Jian said that the recognition of Chinese passenger cars by European passenger car manufacturers and operators has also changed dramatically. "Initially, China Bus was only a somewhat general concept, but today this general concept has been subdivided into specific brands. More and more European passenger car manufacturers and operators are aware of Chinese buses such as Yutong, Jinlong and BYD. Brand," said Wang Jian.
There are specializations in the industry, perhaps this is an interpretation of the performance of Chinese bus companies in the European market. Wang Jian believes that Chinese bus manufacturers have a certain share in different market segments. For example, BYD is focused on promoting the development of electric buses; Jinlong has a relatively wide range of applications in the European travel bus market; Yutong is developing new models that are completely targeted at the European market, and some Chinese passenger car manufacturers are contracting for European manufacturers, such as Hager Bus and Scania jointly designed and produced tourist buses.
In the future, what are the trends in the development of Chinese passenger cars in the European market?
Wang Jian believes that the Chinese bus will no longer be an empty concept. With the continuous deepening of the internationalization process, Chinese bus brands targeting different segments will have a more obvious manifestation. The future of Chinese bus manufacturers and European mainland There will be more extensive cooperation among enterprises.
In fact, this integration trend has already been reflected. Wang Jian said that at present, most of the buses that China exports to the European market are equipped with the products of European local engine companies, and many domestic passenger car brands in Europe are also inseparable from the supporting components of Chinese passenger cars. For example, at this World Bus Expo, the electric bus jointly built by the Golden Passenger Car and Ebusco of the Netherlands won the European Bus Week Eco-Label Award (ECWLabelEcology2015). The electric bus of China BYD also won the European Bus Week Awards. “The European market is no longer afraid of Chinese buses. Unlike the situation just a few years ago, many European bus operators have publicly stated that they will purchase buses and buses produced in China.†said Wang Jian, an evaluation of BYD's electric buses in the European Bus Week. The awards in the event are enough to explain the extent to which the European market recognizes Chinese buses.
