MU12E, featuring smart technology, human-centered care, and carbon neutrality, achieves a comprehensive evolution from a mere physical vehicle to a ‘mobile human-centered space’—redefining urban public transportation.
The bus, with deep insights into the needs of both passengers and drivers, comprehensively optimizes the user experience. The cockpit follows the principle of ‘one-arm control’, with frequently used buttons subtly integrated for easy access. The steering wheel supports four-way adjustment, complemented by a swivel seat, further improving operating efficiency and driving comfort. As for the passenger area, a three-door, low-floor layout, access ramps, and an electronically controlled air suspension system (enabling vehicle lowering and kneeling) ensure a convenient travel experience for vulnerable passengers like older people and individuals with disabilities.
Powered by a high-power motor (350 kW), MU12E can climb slopes with a gradient of over 20%, effortlessly tackling complex road conditions. Equipped with ECO-Chip 5.0, it enables real-time monitoring of the vehicle and three systems (battery/motor/electric control), and then dynamically optimizes control strategies, significantly enhancing driving safety. The bus also employs a high-energy-density CATL battery and optimized energy management strategies, achieving a range of 500 km and low energy consumption of less than 0.79 kWh/km (a 15%–20% reduction compared to conventional counterparts). It perfectly balances efficiency, eco-friendliness, and safety.
In terms of appearance design, MU12E, breaking away from the ‘boxy shape with rounded edges’ common in conventional buses, adopts a powerful square silhouette, while also incorporating downward-sweeping curves to improve aerodynamic performance. This approach achieves excellent structural strength and gives a dynamic visual effect. Moreover, the split headlights, paired with the body featuring sharp lines, form a highly recognizable visual symbol.
