First Series Production Electric Commuter Bus Ready For Sale Immediately

A new 14-Seat commuter bus has just arrived in Australia, and unlike the rest of the crowd, it’s fully electric. Global Auto Distributors has landed first shipments of the Joylong E6 bus in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth and they are ready for retail sale immediately.

Featuring a profile that is well-known locally, the new bus is far more than a concept vehicle brought to Australia for testing and evaluation. The Joylong E6 is already well-proven in Asian markets with an outstanding level of reliability and functionality.

The 60kW liquid-cooled electric motor generates a peak torque of 382Nm and drives through the rear wheels. The 86.1 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery is also liquid cooled and is recharged through a 22kW OBC Euro type socket. A 22kW AC on-board charger connects to a 20a or 32a three-phase circuit and allows charging times that reflect optimal city and suburban operating ranges.

From empty to full the E6 battery will top-up in five hours using a 20amp circuit. A 32amp circuit will complete the job in 3.9 hours. More practically, you can charge the E6 from 20 per cent to 80 per cent in just 2.3 hours on a 32amp circuit.

The 14-seats are arranged with Australian frames in mind and the independent front and rear air conditioning features a double rear top evaporator for maximum cooling in our hottest weather. Each of the passenger seats are fitted with adjustable back rests, are finished in fabric and each include three-point safety belts.

Driver and front passenger are protected with individual airbags, and the driver will enjoy comfort and connectivity features equal to many passenger cars. A rear reverse radar is included for those tight parking spots in and around the city.

Operators will welcome the huge reduction in servicing expense and down-time as ongoing maintenance is limited to coolant checks, tyre rotations and checking pads on the all-wheel disc brakes.

Global Distributors welcome your enquiry about its new commuter bus, set to make its mark not only in Perth, but in some of the most hostile environments WA can offer.
