Mastertrans - 3S
 

Mastertrans utilizes one of the safest battery types—Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) batteries—known for their long lifespan and high safety standards. With a charging and discharging rate of 3C, these batteries can achieve a cycle life of 20,000 cycles. Under proper maintenance, the power battery can last between 10 to 12 years, and after retirement, it can be repurposed as an energy storage battery for over 10 additional years, significantly reducing battery waste. Mastertrans has chosen a fast-charging system as the optimal solution for urban areas. It enables rapid charging from 20% to 80% SOC in just 15 minutes, minimizing impact on the existing power grid while ensuring unlimited daily driving range. By adopting a multi-vehicle-per-charger approach, there is no need to alter existing parking layouts, reducing infrastructure costs and aligning with the principles of safety, intelligence, and sustainability. Mastertrans relies on Taiwan’s supply chain for its products, ensuring that all vehicle models, including city buses and intercity highway coaches, are designed and manufactured domestically (DMIT) to enhance global competitiveness. Additionally, Mastertrans has independently developed and manufactured a central direct-drive motor that meets world-class standards, providing superior comfort and stability while ensuring driving safety.

To meet global market demands, Mastertrans has acquired a 20-hectare site in the Central Taiwan Science Park, Erlin, Changhua, to establish an electric bus industrial park. The goal is to position Taiwan as a key player in the global electric bus supply chain, with an expected annual production capacity of 20,000 KD units. The park will feature an R&D center, an automated battery module and PACK production plant, an automated chassis manufacturing center, a body and chassis factory, and an international shipping hub.

In alignment with net-zero transformation policies, the new Erlin plant will incorporate green energy facilities, automation systems, and sustainable materials to reduce carbon emissions. An automated system will monitor energy usage across the facility, identifying high-consumption areas for optimization. This plant will not only serve as a global R&D center but also as a "Green Energy Demonstration Plant." As Mastertrans actively expands into international markets, this model will be replicated in overseas assembly plants.
