[Buses in Beijing] Youngman Neoplan - Huayu BJD-WG120N2 (2015) <Trolley-bus> BPT #950281 Line 103 at Beijing Railway Station West
Beijing's the latest 12 m (39 ft.) trolley-bus, type BJD-WG120N2 built by Youngman Neoplan and finished by Beijing Trolley-bus Plant under trademark "Huayu"
The 2015 type BJD-WG120N2 is an upgrade on the previous 2012 BJD-WG120N2, which shares most of the coachwork. To distinguish the former from the latter is easy: one can tell a 2015 version by its alloy wheels, full LED destination signs, slightly different doors, etc. The 2012 and 2015 versions have raised sill lines in comparison with the 2007 BJD-WG120N, which also used the Neoplan Electroliner N6121 styling.
The power plant is a CSR Zhuzhou Times Electric type JD185A asynchronous AC motors with 100 kW rated power and 150 kW peak power. Differences remain unknown between this JD185A and the JD146C powering the 2012 version. Auxiliary power is stored in Lithium battery packs behind each front wheel (behind the hatch door with vents). The battery bays create two rows of longitudinal seats above them inside the carriage. With the trolley poles detached from the overhead wires, the trolley-bus is able to travel approximately 100 km (62 mi.) with HVAC operating. Recharging of the batteries is feasible anytime when the bus draws electricity from the overhead wires. The driving-mode range is theoretical; actual average range is reported to be considerably lower.
Front axle is a Neoplan VN-75 like the 2012 version, and the rear axle is a ZF AV-132. BPT favors the conventional longitudinal-offset-motor-to-axle design over the fancier hub motor, although the company proposed the latter's application on extended-range battery-electric buses and plug-in hybrids. There is no transmission (some earlier battery buses have AMT's) or multiple-stage retarder.
The 2015 version came with a pair of spring-driven trolley rope retriever, and a pneumatic trolley pole catcher which automatically locks down the trolley poles when they are lowered.
A total of sixty 2015-version BJD-WG120N2 were delivered in January 2015. Now these trolley-buses are used on Line 103 and Line 38, the latter being one of the recently electrified bus routes.
