| KIM LONG MOTOR Hue Joint Stock Company handing over the first electric bus under KIM LONG brand name |
This is the first batch of vehicle deliveries in the contract signed last April to annually supply 200 KIM LONG brand buses of various types to serve tourism operations and student transportation in South Korea.
KIMLONG N23-EV electric bus is designed with a modern design, measuring 7.5 meters in length, with a maximum capacity of 22 passengers. It is suitable for flexible operation in busy streets, residential areas, and schools. This model effectively meets the needs of student transportation and tourism operations in major cities in South Korea.
The bus is equipped with DONGFENG DANA axle system and a range of advanced safety technologies such as electronic braking system (EBS), emergency brake assist (AEBS), electronic stability control (ESC), hill-start assist system (HAS), lane departure warning system (LDWS), collision sensors, and anti-pinch doors.
The journey monitoring system allows parents and schools to track the vehicle’s route. The bus uses a Lithium Polymer battery from SK (South Korea) with a capacity of 170kW and a range of 310 km per charge, helping to save costs and reduce emissions. This aligns with South Korea’s green transportation development strategy.
