on the bus route No. 30 in Xiamen. With a height
of 4.2 meters and a length of 11.3 meters, the
vehicle adopts low-access floor and is mounted

urban bus routes which are free from any tree-
branches or any other obstructions in the air.

Golden Dragon Takes the Lead in the Plug-in Era
The well-known bus maker Golden Dragon,
based in Xiamen, has rolled out its fifth
generation of hybrid buses, combining the
strengths of plug-in hybrid vehicles made by
Toyota, Honda, Ford and GM.
Chen Dulian, the Technical Director of Golden
Dragon reveals, "our new plug-in hybrid bus has
inherited all the state-of-art technologies we have
mastered in this field. It can cut fuel consumption
by 51%."
After initiating the super-capacitor technologies in
hybrid buses, Golden Dragon's plug-in hybrid bus
boasts duel electric power source, namely a super
capacitor and a lithium battery. Corresponding to
the motor's double winding, the vehicle effectively
enhances the motor's efficiency and shortens the
distance for energy transmission, thus improving
its overall fuel economy.
Through the intelligence distribution of electric
control system, Golden Dragon's composit energy
storage technology provides more flexible space
for high-powered lithium battery and super-
capacitor to take part in the driving and braking
process of the vehicle. In doing so, it enhances the
durability of lithium batteries and improves the
recycling rate of braking energy. In addition, the
bus is capable of operating for over 30 km while
wholly powered by electricity.
Currently, Golden Dragon is working extra hard,
continuing to take the lead in the field of plug-in
hybrid buses.

NEW ENERGYGD Enhances Competitiveness of New Energy Buses
In spite of its disadvantages, the new energy bus still gets its advantages
compared with the traditional fuel-powered buses, which is well known to
every successful enterprise in the new energy bus market. Golden Dragon
is one of such enterprises.
Prolong Working Life With a good riding-comfort and energy saving effect, ISG coaxial direct
drive series-parallel connection system becomes the first choice for most
plug-in hybrid buses in China. However, under a rough operating condition,
the clutch of ISG system usually has to be replaced around half a year. In
order to solve the problem, Golden Dragon replaces the ordinary clutch
with the planet clutch, which not only prolongs its working life but also
reduces the operating cost.
Enhance Driving Comfortability Low maximum speed, low loading capacity, low climbing capacity are
other deficiencies of ISG system. The ISG hybrid system of Golden Dragon
adopts ISG motor with the high-power and large torque direct drive
motor. Thus, the loading capacity as well as the climbing capacity could
be both improved. Meanwhile, with CVT(Continuously Variable Trans-
mission) the coaxial direct drive could enhance the driving comfortability
by lowering the driving intensity. With a better auxiliary braking effect,
the regenerative braking system not only reduces the abrasion of the
brake pad, but also the “braking nod” phenomenon.
Improve Aftersales Services Golden Dragon focuses on the high efficiency as well as low cost
FORWARD 17
NEW ENERGYin terms of the recharging solution. During the daytime operating interval, its new energy buses would make use of the AC
recharging post in the bus station to supplement the vehicle-based generator. After operation, all the buses will be recharged with
the low ebb electricity during the nights.
As for aftersales services, to dissolve the doubts of the customers, the Golden Dragon hopes to familiarize them with the new
energy buses through more comprehensive safeguarding measures. By setting up a professional aftersales services team, the
company assigns the staff with testing equipment to solve the onsite problem, ensuring that the main problems could be solved
within 24 hours. In addition, there are over 530 authorized service centers and 12 spare parts warehouses across China.
The special management method makes the new
energy bus of Xiamen Golden Dragon widely
recognized in the market. Now, there are more than
1,200 buses in operation.
