"Welcome to the pure electric medium-sized bus!" During the Qingming Festival, a batch of pure electric medium-sized buses which are light and graceful, energy saving and environmental friendly, run along Songshan Lake, where spring is very much in the air. These buses are developed by Sun Yat-sen University Dongguan Research Institute and produced by Shenzhen Wuzhoulong Motors, Co., Ltd. The operation of these buses means that the “vehicle dream” of Dongguan has become a reality.

This batch of lightweight pure electric medium-sized buses are developed under the new idea of “vehicle adapting to battery”, the energy consumption per one hundred kilometers is less than 20kwh and the price can be controlled to be around 400,000 yuan. The two key indicators are both less than half of those of the regular pure electric medium-sized buses.

This is a breakthrough in the history of the industrialization of pure electric medium-sized buses. It is completed by Sun Yat-sen University Dongguan Research Institute (hereinafter referred to as SYSU Dongguan Research Institute), Shenzhen Wuzhoulong Motors Co., Ltd, a number of Dongguan enterprises, which supply components and parts, and Dongguan Government, which invested start-up capital. “This is not only a product innovation but a system innovation for the whole electric vehicle industry chain”, said Zong Zhijian, Executive Deputy Director of SYSU Dongguan Research Institute, "What makes this possible is the mechanism of university-enterprise-government collaborative innovation.”
