JAC Yiwei delivers 1,000 new energy vehicles for public transport

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On March 6, JAC Yiwei, a new energy vehicle sub-brand under JAC Group, held a signing ceremony in Hefei city for 1,000 new energy vehicles set to be deployed in the public transport sector, with deliveries kicking off at the same time.

Notably, the vehicles newly delivered are part of the company's significant initiative that aims to deploy 10,000 new energy vehicles for public transport service.

In the realm of public transportation, a comprehensive shift towards electrification is gaining momentum. Recently, eight government departments of China, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Transport, issued a notice titled "Notification on Organizing Pilot Projects for Comprehensive Electrification of Public Sector Vehicles." This directive explicitly outlines the accelerated advancement of comprehensive electrification for public transport vehicles, including taxis (both patrol and app-based) in pilot areas.

Public sector vehicles, characterized by their significant quantity and high availability for pilot application, play a pivotal role in fostering energy conservation, emission reduction, and accelerating the construction of a green and low-carbon transportation system. This initiative is advantageous not only for promoting environmental sustainability but also holds paramount significance in reducing external dependence on petroleum and ensuring energy security.

The vehicles delivered this time are from JAC Group's 2024 Aipao model, which is equipped with the long-lasting honeycomb batteries, a nine-in-one electric drive system, and a wide-temperature-range heat pump air conditioning—core features that capture users' utmost attention. Additionally, in collaboration with Hexing Technology ("Hexing" is Chinese Pinyin), it incorporates innovative elements such as a digital intelligent travel cabin and AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking) functionality.

Externally, the 2024 Aipao boasts a sleek body contour complemented by a distinctive front fascia and fluid body contours. Internally, it is adorned with extensive soft coverings and stylish color combinations.

According to the carmaker, the model measures 4,770mm/1,820mm/2,760mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2,760mm. 

Specifically tailored for taxi applications, a customized integrated display system has been implemented in the model, consolidating fare calculation functions and driver information on a large screen. This not only facilitates passenger information viewing but also ensures the safety of both drivers and passengers during their journey.

In terms of power, the 2024 Aipao model boasts a high-performance electric drive system with a maximum power of 130 kW and peak torque of 230 N·m. It features a CLTC-rated range of up to 502 km.
