The 12-meter ultra-lightweight electric bus (curb weight: 7,400 kg) represents a breakthrough in sustainable urban transport, combining energy efficiency with advanced materials to reduce weight while maintaining durability and passenger capacity. This innovation addresses key challenges, such as battery range and infrastructure strain, making it ideal for cities that prioritize decarbonization. This is the result of over ten years of technological research on "lightweight" design, utilizing new ideas, power sources, structures, materials, and technologies.
In one word, this is a super lightweight city bus, weighing only 7.4 tons compared to a traditional one, which typically weighs around 12.5 tons.
That means, this 12m electric bus carries more, and consumes less.

Feature
Weight Reduction: The bus, weighing 7,400 kg, utilizes high-strength aluminum alloys and composite materials to achieve a weight reduction of approximately 15% compared to conventional e-buses, which typically weigh around 12,500 kg.
Choosing lighter frames not only extends battery life but also minimizes tire and road wear, ensuring a more efficient and cost-effective experience.
Battery & Range: Optimized battery placement (e.g., underfloor or roof-mounted) maximizes space and energy density. Lightweight design allows smaller batteries for equivalent range, lowering costs.
Performance: Enhanced power-to-weight ratio improves acceleration and hill-climbing, critical for hilly cities. Regenerative braking further boosts efficiency.
