DONGFENG Electric City Bus‘s Details

This model is a medium-sized pure electric city bus, approximately 9 meters long. Its design concept and configurations are specifically tailored to meet the needs of modern urban public transportation. Its advantages stand out in the following aspects:

1. DONGFENG Electric City Bus‘s flexible and Efficient Urban Adaptability

First, its “golden size” enables free maneuvering in urban environments. As a medium-sized bus with a 9-meter body, it has a smaller turning radius and better passability compared to 12-meter large buses. This allows it to easily navigate narrow urban streets, old neighborhoods, or large communities—making it ideal for metro feeder lines, community micro-circulation routes, or secondary trunk lines with medium passenger flow.

Second, it achieves high carrying efficiency despite its medium size. By optimizing the internal layout (such as adopting a low-entry, single-step design), the bus maximizes standing space, reaching a passenger capacity of around 60-70 people. This meets most daily capacity needs while avoiding energy waste and idle 运力 that occur when 12-meter buses are used during off-peak hours.

2. DONGFENG Electric City Bus‘s Excellent Economy and Environmental Value

The bus boasts a low whole-life cycle cost, driven by two key strengths:

On one hand, it offers significant energy cost advantages. Compared to fuel or gas buses of the same class, electricity costs are much lower than oil or gas expenses, helping public transport companies save heavily on daily fuel bills.

On the other hand, its maintenance costs are extremely low. The pure electric drive system eliminates the need for oil and filter replacements, and there is no requirement for complex engine or gearbox maintenance. This greatly reduces repair expenses and minimizes vehicle downtime.

Additionally, as a pure electric bus, it operates with “zero emissions and zero pollution,” playing a vital role in helping cities build green transportation systems and earn the title of “Bus Metropolis.” Its quiet, smooth operation also significantly improves the living environment for residents along its routes.

3. DONGFENG Electric City Bus‘s Advanced Three-Electric System and Reliable Range

At its core is a high-performance three-electric system: it typically uses industry-leading CATL lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, paired with efficient permanent magnet synchronous motors and intelligent electronic control systems. This combination delivers multiple benefits:

For starters, it ensures high safety—lithium iron phosphate batteries have excellent thermal stability, a feature widely recognized in the industry.

Moreover, the battery has a long cycle life, which meets the demands of high-intensity, long-term bus operations.

Furthermore, the motor and electronic control system work together with high efficiency, resulting in excellent energy consumption performance.

In terms of range and charging, the bus can usually cover a full day’s typical urban operation on a single charge, depending on configuration. It also supports DC fast charging: using off-peak hours at night or short breaks during operations, it can fully recharge in just 1-2 hours, effectively ensuring high vehicle attendance.

4. DONGFENG Electric City Bus‘s Humanized Riding Experience and Safety Design

A key advantage is its single-step, low-entry design. Passengers only need to take one step to board, greatly facilitating the elderly, children, travelers with luggage, or those pushing strollers. This design also speeds up boarding and alighting, reducing stop times.

Inside, the bus offers a spacious and comfortable environment. It uses a load-bearing body structure, which creates a flatter floor and maximizes internal space utilization. Ergonomic seats, spacious aisles, and humanized features like USB charging ports further enhance the passenger experience.

In terms of safety, the bus excels in both active and passive protection:

• Its load-bearing body has strong integrity and resistance to torsion and collisions.
• It typically comes with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and EBS (Electronic Braking System), and can be optionally equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) such as 360° surround view, Forward Collision Warning (FCW), and Lane Departure Warning (LDW)—all of which ensure safer driving.

5. DONGFENG Electric City Bus‘s Intelligent Management and Operational Efficiency

The bus is equipped with an advanced telematics system, connecting to an intelligent public transport management platform. This allows operators to monitor real-time data such as vehicle location, battery level, energy consumption, fault status, and driving behavior through a remote platform. As a result, they can implement intelligent scheduling, optimize shifts, conduct predictive maintenance, and adopt refined management—ultimately boosting the operational efficiency of the entire fleet.

Summary

The core strength of the Dongfeng EQ6900CTBEV lies in its precise positioning as a modern public transport solution. Instead of pursuing a “one-size-fits-all” large design, it leverages its 9-meter medium size to achieve unparalleled flexibility and route adaptability.

It seamlessly combines the economic and environmental benefits of pure electric technology, the accessibility of low-entry design, and intelligent management capabilities—making it one of the best choices for the “capillaries” of urban public transport: feeder lines and community routes. For operators, this translates to lower costs, higher efficiency, and greater public satisfaction.
