The First Brand Of Pure Electric Bus In Japan Comes From China

BYD once again came to Japan. This time, it not only brought pure electric buses, but also defined clear goals for the future layout of the Japanese market.

On May 18, 2019, the opening ceremony of BYD's pure electric bus operation was held in Japan's Owase National Park. BYD's "tailor-made" pure electric bus officially entered Japan and was put into use as a scenic shuttle bus.

Aizu bus president Sato Junki said, "This is the first time that Japan has introduced a small pure electric bus. It is also the first time that East Japan has introduced a mass-produced pure electric bus. The tail shovel is the origin of China's nature conservation movement. The introduction of the second pure electric bus will be a new step in the history of nature conservation.

It is reported that this is the fourth time BYD has delivered a pure electric bus to Japan. On February 23, 2015, BYD delivered five pure electric buses K9 in Kyoto, Japan, becoming the first Chinese car to enter the Japanese market, achieving a “zero” breakthrough in the Chinese auto industry for more than 60 years. At present, one out of every three pure electric buses in the city of Japan is provided by BYD, and BYD has become the first brand of pure electric buses in the Japanese market.

BYD successfully broke through the Japanese market with its leading pure electric bus technology advantage. According to reports, most of the electric buses in the Japanese market have been converted from diesel buses, and these buses have a cruising range of 30 to 60 kilometers, which cannot meet the daily operational needs of end customers for about 150 kilometers a day. Under such circumstances, the BYD K9, which has reached 250 kilometers of cruising range, has the greatest advantage. It is this advantage that enabled BYD to successfully open the door to the Japanese market.

With the technological advantages in the core field of the new energy “three powers” and the deep cultivation of the Japanese market, the number of BYD pure electric buses has been rising in Japan. Nowadays, it is the first Chinese car company to launch a customized pure electric bus in the Japanese market, indicating that BYD has “satisfied” the core technology of electric vehicles. At present, BYD has mastered the core technologies of electric vehicle batteries, motors, electronic control, two-way inverter charging and discharging technology and "modular" technology, and has delivered 50,000 vehicles in more than 300 cities around the world in 9 years. The experience of pure electric buses can be innovatively developed and manufactured for the size and appearance of vehicles in response to the “unique” needs of each market.

Not only Japan, BYD has built the world's first pure electric double-decker bus for the UK and other places, and built the world's first 27-meter pure electric double-hinged bus K12A for Latin America and other places. BYD is customized for overseas market demand. Create a successful case.

It is also the accumulation of these world-leading pure electric bus technologies that made BYD the first in Japan.
