According to statistics, the sales volume of new energy buses in China reached 8,869 units from January to September of this year. Compared with the total sales volume of 379,000 buses, it means every 100 sold buses, only two units are new energy buses. The National Research Center on Electronic Control & Safety Engineering Technology of Electric Buses is designated to be located in Yutong and the construction launch ceremony was held on November 1. With an investment of 330 million yuan, the National Research Center is mainly specialized in researching the electronic control technology and safety technology of electric buses to improve the economical efficiency, reliability and safety of electric buses, and technically solve the problem of low popularity of new energy buses. 

It is learned the target of the newly established National Research Center is to commercialize the research findings on the electronic control and safety engineering technology of electric buses, further reduce the energy consumption of whole vehicles, improve the energy efficiency and reliability of electric buses, and meet the industrialization needs of electric buses.

Compared with conventional vehicles, the electric buses are driven by onboard batteries with less pollutant emissions and can greatly reduce the consumption of non-renewable resources like petroleum. Meanwhile, taking the electric buses for public transportation tool is in line with the public transportation idea advocated by the country and will have a broad prospect.   

The sales volume of new energy buses is on the rise all the time. The sales volume of new energy buses in China reached 8,869 units from January to September of this year. Seen from the development situation and tendency, more new energy buses are expected to be sold in the future.
