Yutong Bus (“Yutong”, SHA: 600066), a leading global manufacturer of commercial vehicles, has completed an extreme cold test in Finland for its top-of-the-line electric coach, the T15E, following previous tests of the U12 in Norway and the E18Pro in Kazakhstan. In Finland, the T15E once again demonstrated its exceptional performance on icy roads and in temperatures as low as -20°C as it completed a series of tests to… to explore the full potential of its safety, energy efficiency, range, cornering and mountain climbing capabilities in extreme conditions.
En route from Oulu to Rovaniemi, the T15E successfully completed a 250 km route on winding, snow-covered roads, testing the vehicle’s energy management and performance in demanding conditions. During the 2.5-hour drive, the T15E demonstrated exceptional capabilities in battery efficiency, stability, hill climbing and cornering. Media representatives Juho Akseli Käki and Tom Alexander Terjesen praised the vehicle’s precise handling and luxurious driving comfort, which is further enhanced by state-of-the-art suspension seats and elegantly designed interior lighting.
In the second test, which covered a 609.8 km route from Oulu to Helsinki, the T15E also completed the journey at -20°C with a charge level that dropped to two percent from full charge and an energy consumption of just 0. 94 kWh/km, which confirmed its capabilities in severe winter environments.
“Through rigorous testing in arctic ice and snow conditions, the Yutong T15E has proven to provide stable performance at the highest range even in extremely cold environments,” commented Victor Wang, Product Engineer at Yutong Bus. “The range of over 600 km meets the diverse requirements of premium long-distance bus transport.”
The T15E’s proven performance is underpinned by state-of-the-art technologies that enable superior performance in adverse conditions. The next-generation, high energy density battery with a capacity of 630 kWh is coupled with an advanced liquid cooling and heating management system that optimizes efficiency at low temperatures. The permanent magnet synchronous motor achieves a peak efficiency of up to 97.5%, while features such as Yutong’s self-developed efficient braking energy recovery and low-temperature heat pump AC system further improve energy saving and operational safety.
The T15E is equipped with megawatt-level fast charging capability, allowing a full charge in just over an hour and is compatible with popular charging stations across Europe. Advanced safety systems such as Electronic Braking System (EBS), Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) enhance reliable and efficient performance in long-distance transport.
