HELSINKI, Finland, December 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bus Yutong (“Yutong”, SHA: 600066), one of the world’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturers, took on an extreme cold endurance challenge for its premium electric coach, the T15E, in Finlandfollowing previous tests of the U12s in Norway and the E18Pro in Kazakhstan. THE Finland This challenge once again showcased the T15E’s exceptional performance on icy roads in temperatures down to -20°C, as it successfully completed a series of tests designed to explore the full potential of its capabilities in terms of safety, energy efficiency, autonomy, cornering and hill climbing. in extreme conditions.
Between Oulu and Rovaniemi, the T15E successfully conquered a 250-kilometer stretch of winding, snow-covered roads, rigorously testing the electric vehicle’s energy management and performance in demanding conditions. Throughout the 2.5-hour drive, the T15E demonstrated exceptional capabilities in battery efficiency, stability, hill climbing and cornering. Media representatives Juho Akseli Käki and Tom Alexander Terjesenpraised the vehicle’s precise handling and luxurious ride quality, further enhanced by state-of-the-art suspension seats and elegantly designed ambient interior lighting.
During the second test, covering a route of 609.8 kilometers from Oulu to Helsinkithe T15E also concluded its journey in -20°C with a state of charge dropping from full to 2% and energy consumption of just 0.94 kWh/km, reaffirming its ability to tackle harsh winter environments.
“Through rigorous testing in arctic ice and snow conditions, the Yutong T15E has proven its ability to maintain stable performance for ultimate autonomy in extremely cold environments,” commented Victor Wangproduct engineer at Yutong Bus. “The range of more than 600 kilometers meets the diverse needs of long-distance premium coach services.”
The T15E’s proven performance is backed by cutting-edge technologies that enable superior performance in adverse conditions.
