On March 8, 2025, the High-Quality Development of Tourism and Passenger Transport (Liaocheng) Forum and the Zhongtong Bus 2025 Tourism Group New Product Launch Event were held ceremoniously. Zhongtong Bus's H13Pro, a new ultra-high horsepower tourism group product, made its debut, garnering significant praise from on-site users for its groundbreaking innovations in power systems, driving and riding comfort, and low vehicle energy consumption. With the addition of the H13Pro, the Zhongtong H-series tourism group product line has been further refined, covering various models from 8 to 13 meters in length, including fuel, pure electric, and hydrogen fuel power options, providing users with diversified, full-scenario product solutions.
Ultra-High Horsepower - Empowering Efficient Operations with Core Strengths
The flagship model H13Pro once again pushes the boundaries of innovation, integrating "high-efficiency power, superior comfort, lower energy consumption, and greater transport capacity" into one. Through technological breakthroughs and scenario-based design, it brings even greater innovations to the industry. Equipped with Weichai's new-generation WP12H engine, the industry's "largest displacement and highest horsepower," the H13Pro boasts the industry's most powerful engine combination, with a hardcore parameter of 430 horsepower and a peak torque of 2300 N·m, setting a new benchmark for the power of tourism coaches. Combined with efficient electronically controlled turbocharging technology, it delivers ample power, effortlessly unlocking all-terrain tourism scenarios. Through various lightweight innovation methods, the WP12H achieves a 12L displacement with the weight of a 10L engine, making it the lightest in its class among 11-12L displacement competitors. Additionally, this engine is developed based on a platform with an ultra-high thermal efficiency of 53.09%, and through precise optimization of the combustion system and reduction of frictional losses, it reduces fuel consumption by over 5% compared to products of the same displacement, significantly lowering operating costs for users.
Undoubtedly, fuel accounts for up to 50% of the operating costs of tourism coaches. The H13Pro, through power thermal efficiency optimization and overall vehicle lightweight design, easily achieves a fuel savings of 1-2L per 100 kilometers compared to similar models. With an annual operation of 100,000 kilometers per vehicle, this translates into a profit margin of "earning an extra 0.2 yuan per kilometer" for tourism and passenger transport companies.
Superior Space - Redefining the Passenger Travel Experience
Valuing progress and "winning" the future. Amid the tide of consumption upgrading, the H13Pro adheres to the concept of "space as a service," meticulously crafting new scenarios for high-end cultural tourism and elevating passenger comfort to unprecedented levels. Stepping inside the vehicle, the distinctive hallmarks of the Zhongtong H13Pro are its spacious interior and comfortable experience. With a gold-standard length of 13.7 meters and a 49-seat 2+2 generation reclining seat layout, featuring an ultra-wide seat pitch of 870mm, the immediate impression is one of "spaciousness and comfort." All seats can be adjusted to a 135° angle, even the rear-most seats, ensuring a pleasant journey throughout. Beyond its spacious seating, the H13Pro further enhances NVH levels through excellent noise reduction technology, creating a serene and restful environment inside the vehicle. This is undoubtedly a blessing for passengers on high-end customized and long-distance tours.
Furthermore, the driving experience has also been elevated. The combination of the Weichai WP12H engine and a 10-speed AMT transmission significantly reduces driver fatigue and offers superior controllability. The H13Pro has also put considerable effort into vehicle layout. With a spacious luggage compartment of 9.8m³, it offers the industry's largest luggage space. The thoughtfully designed independent restroom provides a superior driving environment for both drivers and passengers. The innovatively designed dual sleeping cabins are equipped with an independent ventilation system, effectively addressing the issue of "stuffy sleeping cabins" in traditional tourism coaches, ensuring a more comfortable and pleasant rest for drivers. Supported by Zhongtong's "U-Link" smart tourism group platform, it enables real-time monitoring of data such as fuel consumption, vehicle condition, and driving behavior, further enhancing the vehicle's intelligence level.
Performance Optimization - Crafting a Carrier of Travel Value
"This is not just a means of transportation; it's a profit engine." Precisely tailored to meet the demand for high-quality tourism travel, the H13Pro refines every kilometer of operating cost, aligning with the demand for a new era of high-quality travel as an "emotional value carrier." With its trinity of advantages in "power + energy saving + comfort," it redefines the value proposition of high-end tourism coaches. Low fuel consumption and high reliability support the development of longer tourism routes (such as the "Silk Road" and "Around China Tours"), expanding market coverage. Lower energy consumption and full lifecycle data management assist tourism companies in achieving precise cost calculations.
With a "leading position and a win-win future," the H13Pro injects new vitality into the industry, facilitating quality improvement, efficiency enhancement, and transformation and upgrading, and has won high praise from on-site users. A user from Ningxia commented, "This will be a powerful tool for conquering long-distance tourism in the northwest!" A user from Zibo said, "I have already purchased a batch of Zhongtong H-series vehicles, which are efficient and reliable, and today's H13Pro, with its even stronger power and lower energy consumption, is also highly anticipated."
As the Zhongtong H13Pro evolves the coach space from a "means of transportation" to a "value carrier," the competitive dimensions of the tourism and passenger transport industry have been completely refreshed. In today's era of change and innovation, where user experience reigns supreme, and with the national emphasis on and development of the tourism industry, Zhongtong Bus continues to root itself in technological innovation, deepening its technological moat. The H13Pro integrates multiple advantages, directly addressing the three core demands of the tourism market: efficiency, cost, and experience. The advent of the H13Pro will assist passenger transport companies in tapping into new growth within the existing market, and for tourism and passenger transport companies pursuing high-quality services, the H13Pro may become a "strategic weapon" for seizing market opportunities.
