[Buses in Beijing]青年尼奥普兰 Youngman Neoplan JNP6120GC (1st batch) <CNG> 北京公交集团 BPT #47444 Front-right at Baiyun Road

A JNP6120GC 12m low-floor CNG city bus made by Youngman-Neoplan in Jinhua, Zhejiang

 

JNP6120GC is generally considered as the Chinese version of Neoplan Centroliner N4516 CNG. Powered by an Iveco F4BE0641A*G 200hp CNG engine and equipped with an Allison T270R 6AT gearbox with integrated retarder, this bus is among the majority of Beijing non-step CNG buses. The center-lowered axles are from ZF. Owing to the Neoplan quality and styling, JNP6120GC is commended to be one of the most reliable and stylish buses by both drivers and fans.

 

Compared to the 2nd version, 1st version of JNP6120GC, has larger windows, original Neoplan doors and original tail design. The roof arrangement is also more comfortable---the larger, thicker CNG vessel cover and the long air conditioner look balanced on the roof. The interior features a black mirror with a blue, luminous Neoplan logo. Most importantly, 1st version's quality is far beyond match.

 

In the picture, Fleet No. 47444 (Division 4, CNG bus, code 444) on Line 26 has just pulled out of Baiyun Road (White Cloud Road) stop to the south of Baiyun Road crossing on the West Chang'an Avenue. Baiyun Road crossing separates Sanlihe East Road to the north and Baiyun Road to the south. Line 26, 45, 80 (former 650), and 319 cross the West Chang'an Avenue at Baiyun Road crossing. The widely-favored travel spot China Capital Museum lies right next to the Baiyun Road west-side stop.
