Busworld Asia has always been reputed for never lacking highlights. At this year’s exhibition, Bonluck, an excellent miracle-maker once again managed to take visitors aback and became the center in the spotlight. The eye-catching design of its exhibition area and the presence of its scores of customers from abroad speak well for the bus builder’s impressive business achievements and overseas expansion. The four new bus & coach models, representing the latest technological advancements of the company, boast varied but unique features and are to usher in a new energy era for China’s bus & coach industry.
Green Bus, Green City
Developed on the basis of a 12-meter bus model exported to Australia, Bonluck all-electric JXK6120 is now the most popular bus model in Australian market. With streamline exterior and spacious interior designed by some accomplished designers from both home and abroad, the model has acquired a number of patents from the government. Moreover, over 100 units have already been sold in such cities as Melbourne, Perth, and Brisbane in Australia.
Equipped with 500-plus polymer lithium-ion batteries in total in 15 groups, the bus boasts a maximum speed of 80 km/h and is capable of traveling 280 kilometers after being fully recharged in about three to five hours. While braking, the bus is also able to generate electric energy by itself. Given above, its operation expenses are incredibly low. In addition, it reduces noise significantly compared with the traditional bus.
The reason to choose polymer lithium-ion battery is because it is 75% lighter than lead-acid battery. With long durability and relatively low costs, the battery also generates more energy and is extrusion resistant and short-circuit-proof, thus ensuring the safe operation of the bus.
Clothed in deep green color, JXK6120 truly reflects the theme of environmental friendliness and shows the strong vitality of the energy-saving and environmental friendly buses.
As a newly arrived bus manufacturer, Bonluck will continue to work even harder to make every city on the earth even greener.
Bonluck JXK6830, China’s First All-electric Coach with Wheelchair Lift
Disguised as a “very slim” model, Bonluck JXK6830 is however, mounted with wheelchair lifting device. Through a few steps of fool-proof operation, the bus is truly barrier-free and extremely convenient for the senior and the physically challenged people to ride.
After an optimal design, the body frame of the new bus model is lighter but sturdier. With wider laminated glass which gives passengers panoramic view, the coach boasts novel interior design and more travel amenities for tourists.
As a medium-sized tourist coach developed by Bonluck in 2008, it sells well in Australian market. To date, over 100 units have already been put into service across the continent. Even after the economic crisis broke out in late 2008, the monthly sales volume of the bus once hit a record high of 30-plus units.
Bonluck JXK6137, a Classic Model with no Way to Duplicate
Bonluck JXK6137 was awarded 2008 Innovation Prize by the bus jury in last year’s Busworld Asia and recognized as the Most Recommended Coach Model in China Buses & Coaches, a well-known annul publication in the industry. Moreover, it is the only tourist coach whose sales volume has exceeded 200 units in China.
As a fruit of the innovative spirits of Bonluck staff, the coach model has an appealing appearance catering to the North America market. In addition, when designing its interior and bathroom, designers and technicians from Bonluck have given full consideration to American people’s average height and their special needs. Thus, the coach provides all travel comforts passengers could imagine.
In terms of chassis frame, JXK6137 adopts truss square welded steel structure after drawing on the strengths of advanced integral body frame concept, thus reducing the coach weight to the minimum. With zinc-coatings, the square welded steel structure is wholly imported from Australia and is expected to remain in good conditions for at least fifteen years even at the worst driving situations. In the area of power assembly, customers can feel free to choose C13 13L engine from the US-based CAT Co. or M11 11L engine from Commins., thus insuring the coach can meet American’s latest EPA07 emission standards. Also available are a variety of transmissions for customers to select. Given that it only takes 44 seconds for the coach to accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h, the coach provides unlimited driving pleasures for its drivers.
Currently, developed countries such as the USA and Australia set fairly strict market access for buses & coaches from other nations. Still, Bonluck JXK6137 is China’s only coach model qualified to be exported to the US market. The very presence of the coach model in the developed countries has proclaimed the end of an era when made-in-China products are chiefly renowned for their low quality and cheap price. Such a classic coach model will surely continue to showcase growing China’s bus & coach manufacturing expertise, leaving its mark in the new era.
