Master Bus is a leading manufacturer of demonstration and promotional electric buses with a full range of models. In addition to the 12-meter low-floor electric bus, it will launch a 12-meter intercity electric bus in the second quarter of this year to support net zero carbon emissions and energy transformation. So far this year, it has received orders for more than 400 vehicles, achieving outstanding results. It has also successfully exported 30 electric buses to the allied country, Paraguay, continuing to expand its overseas market.
Wu Tingfa said that the company independently developed a 450kW direct-drive motor, the safest Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) battery pack, and produced its own chassis and body, and demonstrated the achievements of Master Bus in intelligent, technological, and green transportation with its high-specification vehicle technology.
The 450kW six-phase direct-drive motor of Master Bus is the highest specification in the world, designed specifically for intercity electric buses navigating long, hilly routes. It provides strong power and efficient energy conversion, ensuring smooth operation. The Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) battery boasts a long lifespan, charging from 20% to 80% in 15 minutes and capable of up to 20,000 charge and discharge cycles. This allows it to function as a power battery for over 10 years and as an energy storage battery for over 10 years after the vehicle is retired, complying with the principles of safety, environmental protection, and economy. The battery management system (BMS) and vehicle control unit (VCU) effectively integrate with vehicle management to enhance overall stability.
Master Bus achieves maximum international green transportation efficiency with its safe and efficient electric buses. By combining low-carbon transportation, technology, design, and manufacturing techniques, it demonstrates independent research and development, independent design, and independent manufacturing of complete vehicles, which creates green technology and smart transportation for the domestic and international electric bus markets.
