海格 KLQ6109GQHEV5 Higer KLQ6109GQHEV5

編號 Class:HE

 

新福利於二零一八年向海格引進KLQ6109GQHEV5增程型電動巴士,成為車隊中首款新能源巴士,兩架新車於同年七月中旬登記出牌,獲編HE為車隊編號。新福利首先安排兩架增程型電動海格,行走往返澳門大學及氹仔的72路線,然後再順序安排行走34,5,9A,51A,MT4,AP1,1A,32及51線,以了解兩架巴士在不同路面及客量需求下的表現。

根據新福利網站內的介紹,海格增程型電動巴士動力來源自車上的電池,行駛時是以純電力驅動馬達,從而做到零排放及零噪音效果。當電量下降至一定程度時,車上增程器亦即發電機內,由東風康明斯製造的引擎便會啟動,進行充電程序以提升巴士的續航能力,解決過往電動巴士缺乏足夠電力被逼停駛的問題。除此之外,車上設有GPS以探測當巴士位處非人潮集中地進行最優功況區域充電,達至最佳能源使用效率。

不過,增程型電動巴士對比傳統柴油巴士,仍然有不少有待改進的地方。首先,由於需要預留位置安放電池等部件,無可避免地佔用一些車空間,導致車長十點八米的增程型電動巴士,只可以運載五十六名乘客,對比同一長度的海格巴士可以運載六十至七十名乘客,無疑是比下去。另外,車上的電池令到巴士車重超出十五噸,以致未能夠通過舊澳氹大橋(嘉樂庇總督大橋),局限了將來巴士應用到高客量,但需要經過大橋的巴士線上。至於車廂配置方面,維持新福利新車的標準,包括地台採用仿木紋地板膠設計及USB插頭。

新福利隨後於二零一九年向海格發出購買三十架改良型的KLQ6109GQHEV5新車訂單,但由於時值仍未達成落實新巴士營運合約的階段,澳門當局禁止兩巴購買或安排新車投入服務,導致新車遲遲未能付澳投入服務,最終新車於二零二零年初被安排轉至新福利旗下的AA旅運,行走銀河員工巴士路線,無緣加入新福利車隊,直到同年十一月,原本披上新福利車隊色彩的巴士,陸續轉換新色彩,以免跟新福利車隊有所混淆。目前,兩架新福利KLQ6109GQHEV5增程型電動巴士,主要行走MT4,而未來會否再有同型新車加入新福利,則需要留待時間去作證明。

A pair of Higer KLQ6109GQHEV5 10.8m extended-range electric bus was acquired by Transmac in 2018 which was the first electric bus in the fleet and they were first registered in Jul., 2018 and classed as HE. Transmac first deployed them on route 72 linking between The University of Macau and Taipa and then evaluated in succession on route 34, 5, 9A, 51A, MT4, AP1, 1A, 32 and 51 with different road conditions and demand.

As described in Transmac website, the extended-range electric bus was powered by batteries and driven by pure electric power and zero emission and noise was achieved. In case of the low battery level, the range extender (i.e. an engine manufactured by Dongfeng Cummins) started to charge the battery to enhance the cruising power. GPS was used to ensure best energy efficiency can be achieved when the bus in a non-populated area.

There still plenty room for improvement when compared with the traditional diesel powered single decker. Batteries and related components occupied certain space of the bus compartment and as a result, only 56 passengers with 26 seatings can be carried in contrast to 60 - 70 passengers can be carried by a diesel version Higer with same overall length. To go one step further, the gross vehicle weight of KLQ6109GQHEV5 was more than 15 tonnes which exceeded the limit for passing through Macau-Taipa Bridge (Ponte Governador Nobre de Carvalho) and indicated extended-range electric bus cannot serve the route that running along the bridge. Transmac standard wood-effect floor and USB chargers can be found within the compartment of KLQ6109GQHEV5.

A batch of 30 modified version KLQ6109GQHEV5 were ordered by Transmac in 2019. Unfortunately, D.S.A.T of Macau prohibited the commission of new buses before the new bus operation contract to be finalized and as a result, this batch of KLQ6109GQHEV5 found their new home with AA Tourism Limited for the use of staff shuttle of Galaxy Macau. They were originally painted with standard Transmac livery but re-painted with another livery to distinguish them form Transmac's buses in Nov., 2020. Currently HE01 and HE02 were scheduled on route MT4 and whether more extended-range electric bus joined Transmac, time will tell the answer.
