To ensure its safe and smooth operation, Asiastar new series hydrogen fuel cell bus is equipped with a hydrogen refill lock, an anti-collision system, a hydrogen density detector, etc.
With a hugely attractive appearance, Asiastar new series hydrogen fuel cell bus has a low-floor access and a wider aisle on board. With a special boarding ramp and buttons to remind bus drivers to make stops, the bus provides great travel conveniences for passengers. By introducing light-weight materials, the bus has further cut its weight and improved its energy efficiency.
Currently, Weifang boasts the world’s largest hydrogen powered bus fleet in operation. By working closely with the local government, Asiastar is committed to playing a key role in helping cities across the world cut carbon emissions and fight against global warming.
