The Minister of Environment and Climate Action of Portugal, the Mayor of Porto, and the leaders of the relevant units of Porto’s environment, finance, and public transport companies attended the on-site event and took the Zhongtong pure electric bus for a test ride, which was highly praised.
In recent years, the EU has continuously improved its carbon emission standards and requirements to promote zero-carbon development. Portugal is actively taking measures to reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector and to speed up the renewal of new energy vehicles. It is reported that the Zhongtong 12-meter new N-series pure electric bus delivered to Porto this time is also the first batch of pure electric buses exported from my country to the city. As a new generation of Zhongtong’s flat bus, the new N series will bring Porto citizens a more comfortable, safe and environmentally friendly travel experience both in terms of intelligence level and vehicle comfort.

For the driving area, an independent heating and cooling air conditioner is matched to meet the driver’s higher requirements for comfort. In addition, various lightweight materials are widely used, plus the application of adaptive control strategies, the application of intelligent driving reminder technology, and the real-time analysis of road conditions by ZTO’s autonomous road spectrum test software. match.
Of course, in addition to the above optimization, this product has been adaptively improved in structure at the beginning of its design. The skins used in the rear and side walls of the vehicle adopt a block-replaceable structure to reduce maintenance costs. At the same time, an integrated electrical box is developed around the driver to facilitate the centralized maintenance of electrical components.
At present, Zhongtong Bus’s mature new energy bus product solutions have successively entered South Korea, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Hungary, Egypt and other countries, making important contributions to global energy conservation and emission reduction. Just in November this year, 38 Zhongtong pure electric super bus H12 were exported to Chile, which once again refreshed the world’s understanding of China’s new energy buses.
The export of this batch of pure electric buses has become an important symbol for Zhongtong New Energy Bus to enter the European market again. Based on the cooperation with this batch of vehicles, Zhongtong Bus will strengthen cooperation with Portugal and other European countries, provide better solutions for green and smart travel throughout Europe, and contribute to the development of global zero-carbon transportation.
