The 12-metre single-decker electric bus is equipped with highly efficient Permanent Magent Synchronous Motor (PMSM), lightweight body shell that is made of T6 grade aluminum alloy, advanced Battery Management System (BMS), Smart Driving System, Vehicle Big Data Cloud Network Platform and aerosol fire extinguisher, which is suitable for utilisation in Hong Kong and mainland China Market.
The local Hong Kong market does not have a green pure-electric bus with zero roadside emissions, long driving range, and the same passenger capacity as traditional bus. In addition, the road conditions in Hong Kong and mainland China are different. The high slopes in Hong Kong requires an optimised pure electric bus with high-efficient power system.
Centre of Advanced Power and Autonomous Systems (APAS) (formerly Automotive Platforms and Application Systems R&D Centre) was established in 2006 and is fully integrated as a business division under HKPC on 1 April 2025. APAS continues to undertake market-led R&D programmes spanning green transportation, smart mobility, intelligent systems and emerging applications, as well as commercialises R&D results in collaboration with industry, universities and technology institutes to enhance the competitiveness of Hong Kong's automotive and other transportation sectors in new energy and smart driving.
