28、o making transport more climate-and environment-friendly by lowering carbon and air pollutant emissions.In recent years,the number of new energy buses has rapidly increased in China(including plug-in hybrid buses,fuel cell buses and particularly in China,battery electric buses).By the end of 2020,th
29、ere were approximately 466,100 new energy buses,accounting for about 66%of the total number of buses.Out of these new energy vehicles,the total number of battery electric buses was more than 250,000,accounting for 38%of the total.Chinas promotion of new energy buses has entered a new stage,focusing
30、on developing vehicles of high quality,rather than developing them at a high speed.China must solve a number of problems presently exposed(such as a low operating efficiency,unreasonable layout of matching facilities,and insufficient maintenance of vehicles)while also maintaining a steady increase o
31、f the number of new energy buses.The experiences and practices of the cities and bus companies which have done well in the promotion of new energy buses are of great importance,and can be used to guide the development of other cities to promote new energy buses and more broadly,for the development o
32、f the industry in China.Looking outward,as China has the largest number of new energy buses in the world,Chinas experience can serve as a useful reference for other countries and their cities engaged in promotion of new energy vehicles.Germany is one of the worlds leading countries in the research o
33、f new energy vehicles therefore,in undertaking collaborative research in this field,both China and Germany will be able to give full play to their respective advantages,and share lessons learned,so as to benefit both countries.The main purpose of this research project is to enhance the application o
34、f new energy buses in China(namely to enhance their efficiency,ensure their safety,reduce costs related to their development and use,increase energy conservation and reduce carbon,air pollutants and noise emissions)and to share Chinas experiences with other countries.The research results of this pro
35、ject can be used to:1.Help Chinese bus enterprises to optimize their operations and development(including by supporting Chinas bus companies to effectively select and purchase suitable vehicles,effectively plan and build charging stations and related infrastructure and optimize vehicle scheduling an
36、d routing planning;and improve the coordination between vehicle manufacturers,operators of charging stations and bus companies);2.Help the Chinese government,especially the Ministry of Transport(MoT),to make well-informed decisions on the promotion and application of the industry,and making related
37、policies pertaining to new energy buses,so as to better manage and guide the bus industry,and;3.Help other countries to learn from Chinas experiences.In terms of research methods,this research project focuses on collecting and refining an understanding of technical methods based on Chinas practices,
38、rather than just describing the present situation.In order to investigate the practices adopted by the cities which have done well in the promotion of new energy buses,an importance must be attached to understanding these through field investigations,in particular by carrying out in-depth communicat
39、ions with management and technical staff of bus agencies.To carry out these in-depth investigations and select the right cities and public transportation enterprises,it is important to review existing experiences and research results to have a comprehensive understanding of the present development o
40、f new energy buses in various cities in China.In order to successfully carry out this research project,the China Academy of Transportation Sciences(CATS)must make full use of existing resources,including existing data resources,existing cooperation networks with local cities,as well as harness their
41、 good relationship with the Ministry of Transport.As a cooperative project between China and Germany,this research project shall strengthen cooperation and exchanges between the two countries to introduce Chinas experience to Germany,and also introduce Germanys research results and experiences in th
42、e application of new energy buses to China.At the same time,this project shall also strengthen exchanges with international agencies.9Research on Technical Systems of Battery Electric Buses in ChinaSince 2015,the development of New Energy Buses(NEBs)2 has stepped onto the fast track in China.Before
43、2015,China only had around 30,000 NEBs in operation.However,more than 50,000 NEBs were added to this fleet in 2015 alone.In each year between 2016 and 2019,more than 80,000 units were added.To systematically assess impacts of the application and use of NEBs,to make best practice and lessons learned
44、available,and to conduct research in the fields of policy and regulation,standardization,purchase,operation,infrastructure planning,maintenance and recycling,and technology amongst others relating to NEBs,research on the promotion and operation of NEBs has increased in China since 2015,mainly throug

76、sed on MoT data from the“Public transport urban development monitoring,assessment,and evaluation system”,and other research results.The report is mainly composed of visual materials such as data-analysis graphs and tables,including illustrations of the annual increase in NEBs in provinces and 36 cen
77、tral cities in China,the proportion of vehicles in length and power,average operating mileage per day,and major brands and related information.For example,as shown in Figure 2-1,we can see that the promotion of new energy buses in Guangdong,Shandong,and Henan was particularly successful in 2018.Thes
78、e reports can provide a good reference of information for research institutions,operators,manufacturers,and decision-making bodies.Both the annual National Report on Urban Passenger Transport Development and the Report on Chinas new energy public transportation application helped this study to obtai
79、n general data on NEBs in China,and understand good practice cases in promoting and operating NEBs in local cities.These reports do not provide deep analysis of results,but can be used to lead to the rational selection of representative cities as survey objects.12Research on Technical Systems of Bat
80、tery Electric Buses in ChinaSurveys by Industrial Associations2.2Since 2015,China has begun to promote new energy buses on a large scale.The number of NEBs rose rapidly from 35,000 units to over 80,000 units in 2015.To gain more fact-based knowledge on new energy urban bus application and use in cit
81、ies,and get the opinions and proposals of local public-transport administrations and operators,the MoT guided the MoT Expert Committee and the Urban Passenger Transport Branch of the China Road Transport Association4 to conduct two large-scale field surveys in early 2016.The MoT Expert Committee3 is
82、 a thinktank team of Chinas MoT.In 2015,the Expert Committee organized a research team comprising researchers from the Research Institute of Highway(RIOH)of the MoT to conduct a survey covering cities in different regions in China which represent different economic development situations.The survey
83、respondents included,amongst other groups,NEV manufactures,local transport bureaus,and representative bus operators.The survey aimed to get a better understanding of the market access and supervision of battery-electric buses,new energy urban bus purchase and operating costs,their technical levels a
84、nd performance standards,techniques of operation dispatching,product safety quality and supporting policies,and related information.The research team also organized symposiums5 to discuss and develop policy proposals on the outlook and feasibility of NEV operation,the role of the MoT and local trans
85、port bureaus in facilitating the development of NEV operation,(for example,top-level plan development and standards development),and how to provide and ensure scientific and practical supervision and support,among other topics.The report New-energy Operating Vehicle Industry and Technical Dynamics3
86、was released as a result of the survey.The China Road Transport Association(CRTA)is a non-profit organization in the transport industry whose members are road transport institutions,operators,and related groups.In 2016,the urban passenger transport branch of the CRTA organized an expert team4 to con
87、duct new energy urban bus surveys in China.For the surveys,which targeted public bus operators,researchers visited 14 public bus operators in 13 Chinese cities that adopted different technical routes.The researchers aimed to gain a better understanding of the application of battery-electric buses,pl
88、ug-in hybrid public buses,and trolleybuses,including respective local policy environments,the population of NEBs,the selection of technical routes,the technical level of vehicles and major problems and difficulties faced in the application and use of these vehicles,among other topics.In the Survey R
89、eport on Urban Public Transport Operators Using NEB4,the research team obtained information on the successful experiences and also challenges faced by bus operators in different cities,and subsequently made proposals to promote NEBs in these contexts.The two surveys were undertaken in the period whe
90、n NEBs had just come into a phase of large-scale application and use in China,and when the country still lacked experience in their application.The two reports revealed similar problems and made similar proposals.Table 2-2 shows the major problems and proposals presented in the two reports,and Table
91、 2-3 shows the best practices and experiences of cities,based on their research findings.The two survey reports mainly discuss technical aspects,operating status,problems,and policy recommendations of new energy buses and infrastructure before 2016,and propose limited technical solutions.However,res
92、earch findings can still help understand the operation process of new energy buses in China before 2016,and the problems that have arisen in the study surveys can serve as the basis for future,more targeted research.4 This is a non-profit organization in the field of urban passenger transportation v

122、NEBs.6 http:/ on Technical Systems of Battery Electric Buses in ChinaTables 2-2 and 2-3 reveal that in 2015 and 2016 when the number of NEBs increased rapidly,local bus operators were confronted with various problems.Those problems included high vehicle purchase prices,low technological levels,and i
123、nsufficient charging facilities.At the same time,aiming to more effectively use NEBs,local bus operators in China made various attempts to refine their operation and gained some successful experiences.Those included the optimization of bus dispatching schedules,regular updates of the charging operat
124、ion manual,and the provision of bus maintenance training programs,amongst other actions.The two survey reports introduced the problems and practical experiences with the application and use of NEBs in China and thus provided valuable information to the study on how to understand the developments tha
125、t occurred in the early phase of the new energy urban bus promotion in China.Since the surveys were conducted 3 to 4 years ago however,their findings are no longer up to date,as the technical level of new energy buses and new energy bus operations have since made significant progress.Unfortunately,b
126、oth survey reports on new energy urban buses were just published once and were not continued from 2017 onwards.Research Projects Supported by International Organizations2.3After 2017,when the number of NEBs continued to increase rapidly,cities in China urgently needed to learn how to use new energy
127、vehicles safely and efficiently,and how to ensure they played an effective role in energy saving and emission reduction actions.The WB,ADB,and other organizations offered loans for clean energy urban bus projects(Clean Energy Buses refer to Plug-in Hybrid,Battery Electric,and Fuel Cell vehicles,and
128、also to CNG,LNG,LPG,and ordinary Hybrid buses).As part of their efforts to support capacity building in China,the WB and ADB also financed research projects on the application of NEBs.The ADB applied the fund of the Global Environment Facility(GEF)in the Technical Assistance(TA)project“Improving New
129、 Energy Bus Operations and Management”.It recruited an expert panel consisting of three international experts and five domestic experts,who researched 16 cities(see Table 2-4)where ADB provided loans for bus purchasing in China.The expert team collected real-world bus performance data in these 16 ci
130、ties,and analyzed their environmental,climate,and financial performance and impact(for example,their impact on greenhouse gas emissions and external noise levels,amongst other factors),and discussed and assessed the policies in place to promote NEBs in China.The research team summarized the results
131、in the report Sustainable Transport Solutions:Low-Carbon Buses in the Peoples Republic of China5 which was published in November 2018.17Research on Technical Systems of Battery Electric Buses in China Table 2-4:Cities researched by the ADB expert panelNo.Bus CompanyCity/DistrictProvince/City1Jinan P

136、hina18Research on Technical Systems of Battery Electric Buses in ChinaAs shown in Figure 2-2,according to the ADB expert groups cost comparison of buses with different power types,the total cost of ownership(TCO)of natural gas buses is the lowest amongst buses of different technological types.The st
137、udy also found that Plug-in Hybrid buses and Hybrid buses reduce 20%of GHG emissions while battery-electric buses reduce 30%-40%of GHG emissions.Another finding of the study is that plug-in hybrid bus application in China has not resulted in additional benefits when compared with hybrid buses,as bus
138、 operators usually do not charge them at the grid,mainly due to low battery capacity and operational efforts which do not lead to cost-efficient range advantages.Thus,plug-in hybrid buses can be compared with hybrid buses.The transition pathway from conventional buses to hybrid buses to plug-in hybr
139、id buses to battery-electric buses is not necessarily the optimal path.The study also points out that a transition from conventional buses directly to battery-electric buses could be feasible as reliable electric technologies are already available.Regarding bus operations,the key recommendation of t
140、he expert groups study is that bus operators need to optimize the configuration of their bus fleets with special regard to suitable bus types,battery size,and charging technology.Regarding policy design,the key recommendation is that an effective subsidy scheme should be based on performance,where p
141、assenger/km ratios of the operation of electric buses are effective,vehicles are technology-neutral and efficient operators of NEBs are rewarded.As the executive body of GEF,the WB made use of the GEF“Relieving Congestion in Large Cities and Reducing Carbon Emissions Project”to fund the Research Ins
142、titute of Shenzhen Urban Transport Planning&Design Co.,Ltd.to conduct the“Research on the Evaluation System of New-energy Bus Operations”6.The project surveyed nine cities,including Beijing,Wuhan,Qingdao,Chongqing,Shenzhen,Chengdu,Zhengzhou,Xian,and Harbin,analyzing the performance of NEBs and suppo
143、rting facilities in real-world operations,including their technical reliability,transportation energy efficiency,safety,economic analysis,and emission reduction performance,then proposing the new energy urban bus operation effect evaluation system,and new-energy bus operation data collection standar
144、ds.The report,from the perspectives of policies,technologies,and supporting facilities,summarized the problems in the application of NEBs in China(as shown in Table 2-5).The report also proposed improving market access standards,providing preferential fiscal policies,strengthening“policy and market”
145、-driven development,keeping continuity of supporting policies(through,for example,subsidy policies having transition periods),eliminating local protections in purchasing NEBs,promoting fiscal and taxation reforms,adjusting means of local subsidy policy,adding safety operation supervision of NEBs,str
146、engthening inspection and assessment of the remote monitoring system for the operation of NEBs,establishing well-developed charging facility service systems and ensuring charging safety,promoting compatible charging technology,enhancing the building of vehicle maintenance teams,and improving mainten
147、ance and repair services,and other related policy proposals.The research by the ADB and the WB included further case studies and data to better evaluate the effects of promotional policies and real-world performance of new energy buses in China compared to the formerly listed investigation studies s
148、hown in Sections 2.1 and 2.2.More quantitative results are shown on cost-benefit analysis as well as emissions analysis relating to these vehicles,and the proposals are more targeted at providing information and suggestions on detailed policy designs and operations technology.However,from the time t
149、hat the studies were conducted,many changes have occurred in this field(relating to,for example,the number of vehicles in operation,the overall policy environment,vehicle technology levels,and application experiences).The research results therefore do not reflect the current situations of new energy
150、 bus application and operation in China.19Research on Technical Systems of Battery Electric Buses in China Table 2-5:Major problems mentioned in WB report“New Energy Bus Operation Evaluation Framework Study”CategoryNo.RemarksPolicies1Policies that require vehicle technologies change too fast,and the
151、re is a lack of transition protection,which results in high costs,short supply,purchase hesitation,long period of purchase,rapid elimination in the market and difficulty to ensure maintenance services,etc.2High cost of vehicle purchase,heavy reliance on policy and subsidy;bus companies have a low vo
152、ice in bus selection in bus purchasing,and bus companies have to select local manufacturers products.3Uniform operating mileage requirements for subsidy are not fair;there is no uniform standard for verifying operating mileage and the issuing of subsidies takes a long time.4The subsidies tend to go
153、to the limited direction of technical development,thus constraining technologies and markets from developing in multiple directions.5Lack of standards for battery technologies,production,recycling,and safety makes it difficult to secure a supply of batteries and subsequently treat their use and disp
154、osal safely.6In terms of operation,there is a lack of an industrial mechanisms for supervision,insufficient safety supervision standards,and an ambiguous border of safety responsibility.7There is insufficient rewarding and punishing mechanisms for vehicle application,and R&D,and operations,which res
155、ults in a poor initiative from industry stakeholders.Technologies8New energy vehicle technologies as a whole are not mature yet,having a high cost,poor compatibility of parts and components,and long cycles of repair.The technical performance and R&D speed fail to meet the market demands.9Battery cap
156、acity and performance are heavily impacted by the environment;transport efficiency of NEBs is lower than that of traditional buses,thus impacting normal operations while increasing costs and land use.10Digital and smart collection telecom protocols are not yet regulated,thus impacting the efficiency
157、 and usability of data collection.11Power batteries have frequent faults;stability and technical reliability are yet to be improved.12There is a high requirement for maintenance and repair techniques;manufacturers keep confidential information relating to core technologies,therefore there is a high
158、reliance on manufacturers for maintenance and repair.Supporting facilities13High cost of building charging stations/depots,charging piles,and supporting station equipment.14Different brands of charging piles lead to poor compatibility of charging ways,and a mix of old and new batches of products mak
159、e it difficult to upgrade them.15There is a great shortage of charging services;in particular,there is a shortage of charging piles for hybrid vehicles and it is difficult to allocate land for these depots and stations.16Some charging stations/depots and charging piles are irrationally located,resul
160、ting in a great difference in the rate of using facilities and low average rates of use.17Charging facilities are not well maintained,which means that it is difficult to make timely repairs.Some charging piles stay idle for a long time.18The charging piles consume large power volumes,have high requi
161、rements for power loads,need a long time to use,and have many procedures for power installation approval.Others19The maintenance systems are slow to be built;maintenance relies too much on manufacturers;it is difficult to predict the repair cost after vehicle parts warranties expire.20The supervisio
162、n platforms are slow to be built and connected,resulting in insufficient information transmission and sharing,and it is difficult to improve the timeliness of supervision.20Research on Technical Systems of Battery Electric Buses in ChinaRelevant Academic Papers2.4Some research institutions and unive
163、rsity scholars have published research papers on the application of NEBs in China.In the field of macro-policy research of battery-electric buses,Liu Jinzhou,Fang Haifeng,and Liu Wanxiang7,based on the local government policy system for battery-electric buses and through their analysis of subsidy po
164、licies,transport policies,and infrastructure policies,proposed local governments to shift the emphasis of subsidy objects from purchasing to the operation of new energy buses,actively promoting the decommissioning of diesel buses and the purchasing of new energy buses,applying measures to both encou
165、rage and urge the construction of charging piles,and introduce zero-emission zones,amongst other related suggestions.In the field of battery-electric bus vehicle selection,Dong,et al.8 proposed an index system for the market entry permit of urban electric buses which includes factors such as their o
166、peration efficiency,reliability,safety,economy,and after-sales guarantees,based on the operating needs of urban bus operators for battery-electric buses.In the research field of battery-electric bus operation technology,Chen Wu9 analyzed problems in the technical management of battery-electric buses
167、,proposing establishing a sound technical management system for battery-electric buses,enhancing battery-electric bus drivers skills by training,optimizing the fleet configuration with suitable bus types,bus size and battery size of battery-electric buses,improving maintenance skills and ensuring th
168、e maintenance quality and frequency of battery-electric buses,and preparing emergency response plans.Liu Yong10 proposed route customization,vehicle models selection and charging time planning to improve operation efficiency,and proposed four strategies to accelerate the commercial development of ba
169、ttery-electric buses:using a leasing model instead of conventional buying model,improving the service level of new energy buses,expanding the market of new energy buses and using new energy buses in community bus service.In the field of technology analysis of energy-saving and emission reduction of
170、battery public buses,Liu Hong and Wang Hewu11 conducted a life-cycle evaluation of electric vehicles and traditional gasoline vehicles based on coal-fired power generation,concluding that battery electric vehicles could reduce air pollutant emissions by 17%and CO2 emissions by 19%compared to convent
171、ional gasoline vehicles.In the field of research on charging infrastructure construction and operation technology,Zhao Shijia and Zhao Fuquan12 analyzed the current development of charging infrastructures for NEVs globally and in China,expounded the existing problems,and proposed countermeasures to
172、accelerate the construction of charging infrastructure in combination with future development trends.The countermeasures included:a)reasonable planning of charging infrastructure;b)focus on breakthroughs in wireless charging,Vehicle-to-Grid(V2G),and other technologies;c)actively exploring profitable
173、 business models;d)vigorously promote intelligent network technology.Guo Chunlin and Xiao Xiangning13,aiming at the planning of charging infrastructure,proposed the principle of energy equivalence and distributing charging amount to corresponding charging facilities according to the equal load dista
174、nce distribution method.They also proposed load forecasting through the energy equivalence method,using the net present value method to make an economic evaluation,and using the average charging distance to evaluate user convenience,amongst other related suggestions.In the research field of bus batt
175、ery decommissioning and vehicle retirement technologies,Sun Jiayao and Guo Shuangtao14,from the perspectives of the market,recycling standards,recycling technology,and recycling modes,analyzed the characteristics and difficulties of battery recycling in China.They pointed out that battery recycling
176、adopts the principle of first use and then recycling.Mildly discarded batteries can be reused in energy storage systems(for example in streetlamps,UPS power supplies,low-speed electric vehicles,and other fields).After repeated use of heavily scrapped batteries,the electrode materials,especially prec
177、ious metals,are recovered.Zhang Guofang,Liu Shiwei,and Song Jingfen15 analyzed five recycling models from the perspectives of recycling costs,operating scale,and recycling efficiency,making policy proposals on battery recycling considering the specific conditions in China.By reviewing the relevant p
178、apers on the various technical research fields of the life cycle of NEBs in China,this study has included an understanding of the academic concerns and the latest achievements in this field.However,because most academic research papers stay at the theoretical solution level,work is still needed to c
179、ombine the results of actual operational surveys to summarize a series of technical solutions suitable for an actual operation of a life cycle.Even though such academic research papers have limited sources of data and some of them are not only targeting public buses,they can still provide a referenc
180、e for this research.21Research on Technical Systems of Battery Electric Buses in ChinaConclusion2.5By systematically summarizing the former research on NEB application in China,it is found that:1)The annual reports help the study to obtain general data on NEBs in China,understand good practice cases
181、 in promoting and operating NEBs in local cities,and can be used to lead to the rational selection of representative cities as survey objects;2)The two survey reports introduce the problems and practice experiences of 3 to 4 years ago and help the study to well understand what happened in an early p
182、hase of the new energy urban bus promotion in China;3)The studies supported by ADB and WB show more quantitative results on cost-benefit analysis as well as emission analysis,and more detailed proposals of policy design and operation technology;4)Some academic papers provide useful references of mac
183、ro-policy,market-entry permits,operation,emission reduction analysis,charging infrastructure,and battery decommission technologies of new energy buses in China.According to the above literature review,Table 6 shows the details of the technical content of the four best practice cities(Shenzhen,Jinan,
184、Zhengzhou,Tianjin)in the process of promoting the use of NEBs,which will be the basis of subsequent case city surveys.The existing research results mainly have the following characteristics and deficiencies:1)Most of the existing research activities were conducted before 2018.However,many changes ha
185、ve occurred relating to the number of applied vehicles,policy environment,vehicle technology level,and the application experience.As a result,the research results are quite different from the current situation.2)Existing research activities focus on the analysis of the status quo and existing proble
186、ms.Most of them conduct analysis and provide proposals on policies,but few conduct a systematic study of the technical system of applying NEBs and in-depth research on specific technical methods.3)Existing research activities lack results on how to integrate international technologies and know-how w
187、ith Chinese practices and how Chinese experiences could help other countries.4)Existing research activities(excepting the ADB study)do not provide enough emphasis on the environmental and climate-related effects and advantages of new energy bus application,and the necessity to also increase the shar
188、e of renewable energy in the overall energy mix to make electric buses more climate and environmentally friendly.The study“Research on the Technical System of the Life Cycle of Battery-Electric Buses”will be based on the existing research results listed and summarized above,tracking the latest devel
189、opment in China,digging deeper into the successful and best practices of representative and best practice cities in China,refining and summarizing the specific technical methods for the application and use of battery electric urban buses,and fully absorb international technology,to provide direct gu
190、idance for different types of cities in China,and provide an overview on the relevant experiences of China to the global community.Figure 2-3:Schematic diagram of Shenzhen charging strategy7:00-9:009:00-11:3011:30-14:0014:00-16:3016:30-19:0019:00-21:0021:00-23:0023:00-7:007:00-9:009:00-17:0017:00-19

210、ew energy buses in China;2.The current status of the promotion and application of battery-electric buses and;3.The relationship between stakeholders.This report is the basis for the research on the“life cycle of technical systems of battery-electric buses”in the next chapter.The Policy Environment f
211、or NEB Promotion in China3.1Battery-Electric Buses(BEBs)are an important type of NEBs.Policies related to the promotion and application of BEBs are formulated and implemented simultaneously with the policies related to NEBs.This section details the policy environment for the development of NEVs in C
212、hina.Generally speaking,the development of NEBs in China has experienced four stages:1.Initial stage(2009-2012),2.Rearing stage(2013-2014),3.Rapid growth stage(2015-2019),and 4.Stabilization stage(2020-2022)(see Figure 3-1).2009-2012 is the initial stage of the development of NEBs.In 2009,the MOF an
213、d MOST jointly launched the“Ten-City and One-Thousand-Vehicle”7 demonstration project,and a total of 25 cities8 were selected for the promotion of NEVs in practice.According to data from the MOST,at of the end of 2012,27,400 energy-saving and new energy vehicles were applied for demonstration in 25
214、cities,and 23,000 energy-saving new energy vehicles were used in the public service sector.However,due to the difficulty of vehicle technology not being able to meet industry demands and only being available at high costs,the promotion and application of NEVs relied more on financial subsidies and g
215、overnment procurement and was not strongly recognized by the market.2013-2014 was the rearing stage for the development of NEBs in China.In 2013,MOF,MOST,MIIT,and NDRC jointly launched the project“New Energy Vehicle Promotion Demonstration Cities”9.In 2014,to consolidate the results of the demonstra
216、tion project and expand the promotion and application of new energy vehicles to the country,the General Office of the State Council issued the“Guidelines for Accelerating the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles”(GBF 2014 No.35)10 and proposed the use of BEVs in public service fields as
217、a breakthrough in the promotion and application of NEVs,playing a key role in promoting the explosive growth of NEBs in the next few years.2015-2019 was the rapid growth stage of the development of NEBs in China.In 2015,the MOT issued the“Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Promotion and App
218、lication of New Energy Vehicles in the Transportation Industry”(JYF 2015 No.34)11 that clarified the targets for specific numbers of NEBs for promotion.In the same year,the MOF,MIIT,and MOT jointly issued a policy12 related to subsidies for supporting the operation of NEBs.The number of NEBs grew ra
219、pidly at this stage.In 2015,more than 50,000 NEBs were added or replaced,with a growth rate of 137%(see Figure 3-2).At the end of 2018,NEBs accounted for more than 50%of all public buses,becoming the mainstream type of bus vehicles.7 The“Ten Cities and Thousand Vehicles”pilot project aimed at promot
220、ing NEVs in 10 cities per year through financial subsidies provided by the government.Each city launched 1,000 NEVs for pilot operation(mainly public transport,taxis,governmental and municipal transport and postal services).The ultimate goal of this project was to increase the market share of NEVs i
221、n the whole industry to 10%by 2012.8 Including Beijing,Shanghai,Chongqing,Changchun,Dalian,Hangzhou,Wuhan,Shenzhen,Jinan,Hefei,Changsha,Kunming,Nanchang,Tianjin,Haikou,Zhengzhou,Xiamen,Suzhou,Tangshan,Guangzhou,Xiangfan,Hohhot,Shenyang,Chengdu and Nantong.9 A total of 88 cities were incorporated in

229、3Notice on Supporting the Promotion and Application of New Energy Buses27Research on Technical Systems of Battery Electric Buses in ChinaNEBs have moved into a stabilization stage from 2020 to 2022.At this stage,the development of NEBs in China has gone through rapid growth with slower increments an
230、d entered into a new stage of transition from“high-speed development”to“high-quality development”.During the rapid promotion of NEBs in China,strong fiscal and taxation support has been provided.Chinas fiscal and taxation policies for supporting NEVs mainly include the reduction of,or exemption from
231、,vehicle purchase taxes and vehicle and vessel taxes,subsidies for pilot demonstration projects,subsidies for purchase and operation as well as subsidies for infrastructure(see Table 3-1).According to the powers and expenditure responsibilities of the central and local governments,the expenditure an
232、d management of different fiscal and taxation support funds are shown in Figure 3-3.As shown in Figure 3-3,tax reduction and exemption policies mainly include the reduction of,and exemption from,the vehicle purchase tax and vehicle and vessel tax.The Vehicle Purchase Tax Law of the Peoples Republic
233、of China promulgated in 201913 stipulates that all public transportation vehicles are exempted from the vehicle purchase tax.The Vehicle and Vessel Tax Law of the Peoples Republic of China(revised in 2019)14 stipulates that local peoples governments can make regular reductions of,or exemptions from,
234、vehicle and vessel taxes imposed on buses by their actual situations.With the support of this policy,all NEBs in China are currently exempted from the vehicle and vessel tax.The subsidies for charging facilities can be divided into subsidies for the construction of charging facilities and preferenti
235、al policies for electricity prices.The subsidies for the construction of charging facilities are provided mainly in the form of rewards.At the national level15,the subsidies are granted to the provinces and cities where the promotion of NEVs has reached a certain scale and NEVs have been practically
236、 applied.The standard for the subsidies for charging facilities varies with regions and years.Among them,key provinces and cities for air pollution control have the highest awards.Looking at 2020 and actions taken in key provinces and cities for air pollution control as an example,the regions that p
237、romote more than 70,000 NEVs will be awarded.The standard of subsidies is 126 million yuan,and the maximum subsidies are limited to 200 million yuan.The local governments are required to introduce the implementation plans for the promotion and application of NEVs and management measures for the cons
238、truction and operation of the charging infrastructure.At the local level,taking Xiamen City as an example,the newly built bus charging facilities between 2014 and 2015 received financial subsidies based on 40%of the equipment investment;after 2016,the newly built public and dedicated charging facili
239、ties received financial subsidies of RMB 600yuan/KW for DC charging facilities,and RMB 300 yuan/KW for AC charging facilities16.The charge and swapping fees are divided into electricity and service fees.The state implements a supportive electricity price policy for charging and swapping facilities f
240、or NEVs.The electricity fees for bus charging use relatively preferential17 large-scale industrial electricity prices in most of cities.The state implements the guiding price provided by the government for NEV charging and swapping service fees and gives support for BEBs.For example,Sanya City stipu
241、lates that the upper limit of the charging service fee for BEBs is RMB 0.8 yuan/kWh,but for other electric vehicles,the price is RMB 1 yuan/kWh18.The subsidies for purchasing NEVs were implemented in 2009.To encourage fair competition among NEV companies and promote NEV companies to reduce costs and
242、 increase efficiency,the amount of such subsidies has been reducing year by year since 2016.In 2016,a subsidy in the amount of RMB500,000 yuan per vehicle was granted to BEBs that had a length of over 10m;in 2019,it was reduced to RMB90,000 yuan and higher requirements were put forward for technical
243、 indicators such as vehicle energy consumption levels and power battery energy density;in 2020,the state extended the implementation of the subsidy policy to 2022.Taking the purchase subsidy standards for BEBs in non-fast charging mode as an example,the change in subsidy standards from 2009 to 2022

251、ubsidies for fuel buses.29Research on Technical Systems of Battery Electric Buses in ChinaPolicy reforms for the subsidies for the operation of NEBs and the subsidies for refined oil price for urban buses have been carried out simultaneously.The Notice on Improving the Policies for Subsidies for Ref
252、ined Oil Price for Urban Buses and Accelerating the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles(CJ 2015 No.159)proposes to gradually reduce subsidies for fuel prices for urban buses and increase subsidies for the operation of NEBs,link the subsidy amount to the completion of the NEB promotion t
253、arget(See Table 3-3),form a mechanism that encourages the application of NEBs and restricts the growth of fuel-driven buses,and accelerate the progress in the replacement of fuel-driven buses with NEBs.Note:Fuel subsidy funds are divided into the subsidy for fee-to-tax subsidies and subsidies for pr
254、ice increases.Some funds for price increase subsidies are linked to the ratio of local NEBs under promotion,while the subsidy amount is decreasing year by year.See Table 3-4 for the requirements for the promotion ratio of local NEBs,which are divided into key regions for air pollution control and ot
255、her regions.If the promotion ratio of local NEBs does not meet the requirements in Table 3-4,20%of the price increase subsidy will be deducted from the fuel subsidy.For the NEBs added after 2015,subject to the inclusion of the“Catalogue for Recommended Models for New Energy Vehicle Promotion and App
256、lication Project”issued by the MIIT and the annual operating mileage of at least 30,000km,the subsidies for the operation of NEBs in varying amounts are granted by bus length and vehicle power type.For example,the maximum amount of the subsidy for BEBs that have a length of more than 10m is RMB80,00
257、0 per year(See Table 3-5).At present,the plan for subsidies for the operation of NEBs for 2020 and later has not been launched.It is expected that new policies for granting subsidies for the operation of NEBs will consider fuel-driven vehicles,gas-driven vehicles,and NEBs in an overall manner and le
258、ad all cities to form a bus model structure by taking NEVs as the mainstay type of bus vehicle used,and then supplementing these with gas-driven vehicles only as needed,with the goal of gradually eliminating fuel-driven vehicles.Table 3-4:Evaluation indicators of operation subsidies for provinces Pr

262、technical indicators,and energy-saving and emission reduction effects.(1)Scale and characteristicsIn 2015,NEB sales began to grow rapidly,while the proportion of traditional fuel-driven vehicles and gas-driven vehicles in national public transportation continuously decreased.From 2015 to 2019,about
263、an average of 34,000 gasoline-fuel buses was decommissioned each year,while the number of NEBs increased by 75,000(see Figure 3-4).Note:1.The data for this figure is sourced from the Report on the Development of Urban Passenger Transport in China issued by the MOT.Note:2.The categorization for vario
264、us types of vehicles used here is:Diesel-driven buses including gasoline-driven models,ethanol gasoline-driven models,and diesel-driven models;Gas-driven buses include LPG-driven models,CNG-driven models,and dual-fuel models;NEBs includes BEBs and hybrid models;the remaining vehicle types are genera
265、lly indicated as“Others”.At the end of 2019,the total number of NEBs reached 409,000,accounting for 59%of the total number of buses in the whole country.NEBs had become the main force among buses,where the total number of BEBs reached 324,000.NEBs have accounted for more than 50%of buses in 16 provi
266、nces across the country,of which Hunan Province has the highest ratio of NEBs with up to 86.8%(see Figure 3-5).In 2019,the number of newly-added and replaced buses nationwide was over 69,000,of which NEBs accounted for 95%.From the perspective of the power types of newly-added and replaced buses in
267、2019,BEBs had the highest ratio,of about 89%,where the battery type was mainly lithium iron phosphate(see Figure 3-6).(2)Operating mileage of battery-electric busesIn 2019,the average daily mileage of BEBs in China was 133km/day,which is an increase from 123km/day in 2018,but there is still a gap co
268、mpared to the average daily mileage of 167km/day of plug-in hybrid vehicles.This indicates that the operating efficiency of BEBs needs to be further improved.In the 36 cities examined,20 the highest average daily mileage of BEBs was found to be in Lanzhou,at 203km/day(see Figures 3-7 and 3-8).(3)The
269、 technical performance of battery-electric busesBased on the information about vehicles technical specifications contained in the Catalogue of New Energy Vehicle Models released by the MIIT21,the nominal driving range,total power battery energy,and power battery energy density of NEBs from 2015 to 2
270、019 have been steadily improving.Compared to 2015,the growth rate of these three performance indicators exceeded 47%in 2019(see Figure 3-9).(4)Energy-saving and emission reduction effects ofbattery-electric busesThe national standard“Conversion Methods for Energy Consumption of Electric Vehicles”(GB
271、/T 37340-2019)considers the stages of energy extraction,transportation,fuel production,and use,and gives a conversion model for the energy consumption of electric vehicles.Based on the number of in-operation BEBs according to the fuel consumption information declaration and subsidy management system
272、 for urban and rural roads,the number of in-operation BEBs across the country in 2019 can be calculated by using the conversion factor22 stated in the national standard“Urban Integrated Transportation System Planning”(GB/T 51328-2018)(see Table 3-6).The calculations in Table 3-6 are based on the dai
273、ly average operating mileage of BEBs of 133km23,the energy consumption per 100km of in-operation BEBs of 25L24,20 Including 27 provincial capitals,4 municipalities directly under the Central Government and 5 special zones(Dalian,Qingdao,Shenzhen,Xiamen and Ningbo),i.e.,Beijing,Tianjin,Shijiazhuang,T

276、s per 100km is calculated by using the model stated in the national standard Conversion Methods for Energy Consumption of Electric Vehicles(GB/T 37340-2019)with the national average parameter reference values provided in the appendix attached to this standard.25 The energy consumption value of in-op
277、eration diesel-driven vehicles per 100km comes from the results of the operation data of BEBs contained in the national urban and rural road passenger vehicle information and operation information database in the period from 2015 to 2018.26 The CO2 emission factor of diesel is 2.67kg/L(taken from th
278、e national standard Conversion Methods for Energy Consumption of Electric Vehicles(GB/T 37340-2019),i.e.,1L diesel emits 2.67kg CO2.and the energy consumption per 100km of in-operation diesel-driven vehicles of 37L25.It should be noted that L is the unit of capacity,1L=0.001m.After these calculation
279、s it could be noted that using 371,963.5 in-operation BEBs saved about 1.77 million tons of oil in 2019,which is equivalent to reducing 5.55 million tons of carbon dioxide26.If the calculation was based on the average annual carbon dioxide absorption of a tree,which is 172kg,these efforts were equiv

289、ders Analysis3.3The development of BEBs requires extensive and close cooperation among relevant stakeholders to jointly overcome problems found during their promotion and application.This report section analyzes the roles and tasks of each stakeholder in the process of the development and applicatio
290、n of BEBs.3.3.1 Stakeholders1)Central government administration authoritiesThe State Council is responsible for formulating development goals and macro development plans.The MOF provides financial support for the promotion and application of NEBs.For vehicle production,the MOST,NDRC,and MIIT develop
291、ed a series of technological innovation and manufacturing policies to effectively allocate resources,safeguard the interests of the manufacturing industry,and ensure product quality.For the sales of vehicles,the NDRC and MIIT developed purchase subsidy policies to ensure product quality and provide
292、subsidies to vehicle manufacturers.Relating to the operation of vehicles,the MOT assessed the subsidy for bus operation,while the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the National Energy Administration are responsible for promoting the construction of charging facilities.2)Local gover
293、nment management authoritiesLocal governments at all levels are responsible for implementing national policy requirements,formulating local plans for the promotion and application of NEBs,issuing local support policies,and organizing central subsidy applications.For example,locally-supported purchas
294、e subsidies(including provincial and municipal subsidies)equivalent to 50%of the central government subsidy criteria were granted to public transport companies for the purchase of NEBs in Guangzhou City.273)Bus operating companiesMost bus operating companies in China are state-owned enterprises,whic
295、h have the obligation and responsibility to implement the national policies on the development of 27 Measures for Granting Financial Subsidy Incentives for Promotion and Application of New Energy Buses in Guangzhou City(SJYG Zi 2020 No.7)Data Source:http:/ on Technical Systems of Battery Electric Bu
296、ses in ChinaNEBs.Bus operating companies are important entities for the purchase,operation and maintenance of NEBs.Under the guidance of national policies,bus operating companies are required to:1)purchase buses for operation;2)use their own land to build their own charging facilities,and during the
297、ir construction,coordinate with the State Grid on issues of power expansion and grid access,and use the charging services provided by charging facilities companies by paying for electricity and services;3)optimize the overall organization of operations,and;4)construct a maintenance system and ensure
298、 the safe and efficient operation of buses.At the same time as the above steps are being taken,bus companies also need to provide feedback on operational requirements to vehicle manufacturers to promote the technological progress of NEBs.4)Vehicle manufacturersVehicle manufacturers are responsible f
299、or continuously improving technological innovation capabilities,ensuring product quality,and continuously optimizing and adjusting the technical performance of NEBs based on relevant data and the needs of bus operating companies.Representative companies include Yutong,Zhongtong,and BYD(Figure 3-10 s
300、hows the Top-10 vehicle manufacturers with the largest BEB sales in 2019).The sales of ten leading companies accounted for 70%of the national market share.5)Key part and component companiesKey part and component companies focus on the technological upgrading of key components used on power batteries
301、,drive motors,and electronic control systems to continuously improve performance and reduce overall manufacturing costs of BEBs.Power batteries are the core component of every BEB.The most representative companies include CATL,BYD,Guoxuan Hi-Tech,and Lishen,which together occupy 78%of the total mark
302、et share28.Notably,most of the batteries produced by BYD are supplied for BYD buses.6)Charging facilities construction and operation companiesCharging facilities construction and operation companies currently provide bus companies with two service models.The first model is to sell charging poles and
303、 other facilities to bus companies,who are responsible for building charging stations and have the right to own the charging equipment and related data.The second model is to invest in the construction of charging facilities by charging facilities construction and operation companies,provide chargin
304、g services to public transport companies and charge service fees for charging.For public transport companies,the first model has higher initial investment costs,but lower daily operating costs.At present,most public transport companies choose this first model.The leading charging facilities construc
305、tion and operation companies include State Grid,Southern Power Grid,TELD,and Star Charging,which account for a combined 80%of the total market share.The construction and operation of charging facility enterprises are mainly state-owned,such as Potevio New Energy Co.,Ltd.,which is a large central ent
306、erprise,and has explored battery swapping models in Shenzhen and participated in the operation of charging facilities as the holder of batteries in the separation mode of vehicle and electricity.7)Urban planning authorityBased on the charging requirements of BEBs in cities,urban planning authorities
307、 account for the incorporation of necessary charging and swapping facilities in the course of planning the construction of urban comprehensive passenger transport hubs,public transport hubs,urban bus parking lots,maintenance yards,and maintenance plants.8)Power sectorThe local electric power authori
308、ty is responsible for providing overall guidance,organization,and coordination,supervision,and management on power grid construction and transformation for urban bus charging infrastructure,as well as for upgrading and transforming distribution networks and expanding the power capacity of places whe
309、re there is a demand for the construction of charging stations.28 Data Source:Hengda Research Institute,Report for the Development of Power Batteries in China:201935Research on Technical Systems of Battery Electric Buses in China9)Financial service companiesIn addition to traditional banks,there are
310、 also professional financial service companies in the market to provide financial leasing services for public transport companies.Such financial service companies provide“financial leasing29”,“Vehicle-electricity separation”30 and other business models(details are introduced in Chapter 4)to provide
311、bus companies and vehicle manufacturers with services including the renting of vehicles or batteries and reduce the one-time purchase expenditures of bus companies.Representative companies include CITIC Finance and Haier Finance.10)Scientific research institutes and industryassociationsOrganizations
312、 such as scientific research institutes and industry associations provide technical support for policymakers and build communication bridges between the government,vehicle manufacturers,bus operating companies,and other stakeholders.Such scientific research institutions include think tanks of releva
313、nt ministries,such as the China Academy of Transportation Sciences(CATS)and the Transport Planning and Research Institute(TPRI)of the MOT,or Beijing Institute of Technology(BIT),and the China Automobile Research Institute(CARI-TJ)of the MIIT.Some local transportation management authorities also have
314、 their own think tanks,such as Shenzhen Urban Transport Planning Center Co.,LTD(SUTPC)and Jinan Urban Transportation Research Center(JNTRC).Other organizations include think tanks of local transportation management authority.Examples of industry associations include the China Road Transport Associat
315、ion(CRTA)and the China Highway and Transportation Society(CHTS).11)International organizationsInternational research organizations such as the World Bank,Energy Foundation,and GIZ support China to scientifically formulate relevant policies for the promotion and application of NEBs and summarize Chin
316、as relevant experience to provide references for the promotion and application of BEBs in other cities across the world.3.3.2.Relationships with StakeholdersAll stakeholders jointly contribute to the promotion and application of BEVs through the division of labor and cooperation in different process
317、es(see Figure 3-11).Under the policy guidance and management of governments at all levels,public transport companies have a core role,as they purchase the vehicles produced by vehicle manufacturers and key parts and components produced by key component companies.At the same time,public transport com
318、panies purchase charging equipment from charging facility companies for building charging stations or directly purchasing charging services.It is required to coordinate the planning sector to provide planning support for the construction of charging stations,while it is also required to coordinate w
319、ith the power sector to expand the power of charging stations.Third-party financial service companies use innovative commercial services to help solve funding problems experienced by public transport companies.Societies and associations provide a platform for industry exchanges by conducting a serie
320、s of activities.Scientific research institutions,with the support of international organizations and other institutions,provide technical support for optimizing government and corporate decision-making processes via their research contributions.29 Financial leasing model:A financial service provider
321、 enters into a supply contract with a vehicle manufacturer at the request of a bus company.The financial service provider buys buses from the vehicle manufacturer.At the same time,the financial service provider enters into a lease contract with the bus company to lease the buses to it and charge cer
322、tain rent from it.30 Vehicle-electric separation mode:A power battery is separated from a vehicle.After a bus company purchases the vehicle,a battery management company repurchases the property right of the power and the bus company obtains the right to use the battery by leasing.27%8%7%6%5%4%4%3%3%

324、r stages:1.An initial stage,2.A rearing stage,3.A rapid growth stage,and 4.A stabilization stage.At the initial stage,NEBs were present on a small scale in 25 cities;at the rearing stage,their presence was expanded to 88 cities.2015-2019 was the rapid growth stage,and by the end of 2018,NEBs account
325、ed for more than 50%of all bus models.The promotion and application of NEBs entered into the stabilization stage in 2020,where their transformation moved from“high-speed development”to“high-quality development”.In this process,China has continuously adjusted and optimized various policies,where fisc
326、al and tax supporting policies such as those relating to the provision of subsidies for purchase and operation play an important role in the promotion and application of BEBs in China.In terms of the current status of the promotion and application of BEBs,the number of BEBs promoted in China greatly
327、 exceeds the number required in related policies.Compared with the original target of 200,000 vehicles by 2020,by the end of 2019,the total number of NEBs reached 409,000,which far exceeded original expectations.In the same year,the total number of BEBs was 324,000 and the BEBs operating in 16 provi
328、nces accounted for more than 50%.While these number kept rapidly growing,the operating mileage of BEBs was steadily increasing.In 2019,the average daily operating mileage was 133km,and the technical level of vehicles has continued to improve.The nominal driving range of vehicles,the total energy of
329、power batteries,and power battery energy density have all increased by 47%in comparison to 2015.BEBs have had obvious effects on energy saving and emission reduction.In 2019,BEBs saved about 3.76 million tons of diesel,which was equivalent to reducing 11.81 million tons of CO2 emission(see Section 3
330、.2).Many parties participate and cooperate on the promotion and application of NEBs.Governments at all levels are responsible for preparing plans and coordinating with organizations in relation to the use of NEBs.Vehicle manufacturers and component companies strengthen technology research and develo
331、pment,and continuously improve vehicle technologies.Bus operators continue to optimize the overall organization of transportation systems to ensure efficient vehicle operation,power departments and infrastructure companies work together to provide charging services for BEBs,financial institutions su
332、ch as banks and leasing companies provide bus companies with a variety of options for financial leasing business models,and scientific research institutions carry out relevant research to provide support for the decision-making processes of the government and enterprises.Industry associations also o
333、rganize related activities to promote exchanges in the industry,and international organizations provide technical guidance for China and promote the sharing of Chinas experience in the industry.In the next chapter,the report summarizes the problems found and the needs of bus companies identified in relation to vehicle purchases,the construction of charging facilities,transportation organization,an
