Li Jinhao: Articulated Passenger Cars Can Be described as "Governance Blocking Pioneer"

The congestion of urban public transport has become increasingly severe and people have become more difficult to travel. Traffic congestion has become a “heart disease” that plagues major cities. After the capital was formally dubbed the name of "the first block," the degree of attention on the topic of "blocking blockage" has also risen to a new height. In addition to the surface causes of underdeveloped urban road network construction, increased car ownership, and sharp increase in urban population, there are deep-seated reasons for the lack of public transportation and supporting resources. With the suggestion of the Ministry of Transport on implementing public transport priority strategies to resolve urban traffic congestion, people began to reflect on the impact of urban public transport on “urban diseases” such as traffic jams, and gradually started to solve the chronic problems of urban congestion. The articulated bus has the advantage of being unmatched by other models in terms of its large capacity, reducing transportation costs, improving transportation efficiency, saving road resources, optimizing urban ecological environment, and managing urban traffic congestion. Products, but not recognized and widely used by most people, even people are ignored and misunderstood.

Representative of the National People's Congress and Chairman of the Shuguang Automotive Group Li Jinyu said in the "two sessions" motion: In fact, the articulated bus is a "giant" in buses and its advantages are very obvious.

First, the articulated bus carries a large passenger flow. It is understood that the number of regular passenger cars is 4 passengers, the rated number of passengers for buses of 10-12 meters is 90, and the rated number of passengers for 18-meter articulated buses is 180, which is 45 times that of cars. 3 times that of ordinary buses. Not only that, it takes two 12-meter buses and 45 cars to calculate the passenger capacity of an 18-meter articulated bus. Calculated on a 5-meter distance, the 18-meter articulated bus, the 12-meter bus, and the sedan carry the same traffic: 25 meters, 35 meters, and 450 meters. It can be seen that in solving traffic jams, if articulated passenger cars are used on crowded routes, some of the road resources will be saved, and once such savings form a scale, it will be self-evident that the enormous effect of alleviating traffic congestion will be obvious. .

Second, articulated buses are more economical. Most people only saw the higher single-vehicle purchase cost of articulated vehicles, and ignored the advantages of articulated vehicles' large-capacity costs in terms of labor, operations, and maintenance. 1. Purchase a car book: The cost per vehicle for the 10m, 12m, and 18m front-end buses is 250,000, 300,000 and 450,000, respectively. If a line requires a rated number of 1800 passengers, 28 10m buses, 18 12m buses, and 10 18m articulated buses are required. The total purchase cost is: 7 million, 5.4 million, and 4.5 million. . 2. Fuel cost: Calculated on a daily driving distance of 300 kilometers, the annual bus fare for 10 meters, 12 meters and 18 meters on one line is: 613,200, 492,800 and 383,300. 3. Labor costs and maintenance costs: Based on the above conditions, the total labor and maintenance costs for the 10m, 12m, and 18m buses were: 1.904 million, 1.26 million, and 720,000. According to the cost analysis, the articulated bus is not only higher than the cost of other buses, but also greatly reduces the company's expenses.

Third, articulated buses are more environmentally friendly. The capacity of an articulated bus is almost equal to that of two ordinary buses. From the perspective of per capita exhaust emissions, the per capita emission of articulated buses in CO2 and NOx is only about 60% of ordinary buses, and the per capita fuel consumption of cross-boundary passenger cars is only ordinary. About 70% of buses, it can be seen that articulated buses are more effective than ordinary buses in reducing emissions, and their contribution to the protection of the urban ecological environment is even more pronounced.

Fourth, the articulated bus is more passable. The turn diameter of the 18-meter articulated passenger car is almost the same as that of the ordinary bus. Even the 14-meter and 16-meter turn diameters are smaller than the turn diameter of the 12-meter car. In other words, a 12-meter bus can run the way, 14 - The 18-meter articulated car can still run.

In summary, the articulated bus, as a “giant” in a bus, can effectively alleviate traffic congestion, greatly reduce the area of ​​road occupation, save road resources, effectively improve the economic and social benefits, and have a higher cost performance. At the same time, it can also reduce tail gas emissions, protect the urban ecological environment, and have positive and significant significance for building healthy urban transportation and managing traffic congestion.

With the vigorous development of domestic articulated bus technology, the new type of articulated passenger car has already broken the impression of the “old-fashioned appearance and poor comfort” of articulated passenger cars in the 1980s. In this respect, Huang Hairen also made outstanding contributions. At the Beijing Public Transport Group Purchasing Fair held in the spring of 2005, the appearance of the Yellow Sea's 18-meter-long front secondary articulated DD6180S01 vehicle attracted widespread attention in the industry. This is a local high-capacity bus that meets the bus requirements of modern cities. Subsequently, Huanghai Bus developed a number of 16-meter and 18-meter engine rear-mounted articulated vehicles in response to the technical trend of rear-engine rear engines. With the market share of more than 1,000 articulated coaches, it firmly occupies the leading position in China's large passenger car market. Huanghai articulated vehicles have been sold in large quantities in Beijing, Shanghai, Shijiazhuang, Wuhan, Yinchuan, Dalian and Changzhou.

We believe that as the "bus priority" strategy is proposed, articulated vehicles that are the pioneers of "blocking blockages" will inevitably go further on the road of energy conservation, emission reduction, and environmental protection, and will also become its huge shape and become A beautiful landscape on the city's main line.
