Danfoss BEV powertrain used to electrify Taiwan bus fleet 21 July 2022

Danfoss Power Solutions’ Editron division has supplied fully electric drivetrains to Chung-Shin Bus Group, Taiwan’s national bus operator.

Chung-Shin Bus Group will bring 150 fully electric buses featuring Danfoss’ Editron technology into service in Taipei and New Taipei City by the end of 2022.

Each bus includes a PMI318B electric drivetrain featuring one motor, an inverter and a six-speed transmission.

Danfoss’ Editron drivetrains are compact and lightweight, crucial benefits for buses where space and weight are critical. They also offer 30% increased efficiency and reduce operational costs by the same figure compared to traditional diesel-powered buses.

A further 100 Chung-Shin Bus Group buses featuring drivetrains manufactured by Danfoss’ Editron division are expected to enter service in 2023.

Commenting on the project, Christophe Natter, vice president of OEM sales for Danfoss Power Solutions, said: “With high torque performance, wide operation range and integrated gearbox, our on-highway drivetrain is perfectly suited for bus applications.”
