[Buses in Beijing]福田欧V Foton AUV BJ6123C7BTD <CNG> 北京公交集团 BPT #87472 Front-right at Sitong Bridge South
A type BJ6123C7BTD 12m-class (11,700mm, 38.4 ft.) low-floor CNG bus built by BAIC (Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Co., Ltd.) Foton under AUV trademark.
BJ6123C7BTD is the first CNG bus that Foton introduced in Beijing, and is proved to be a successful trial. BJ6123C7BTD is one of the four latest CNG low floor bus models of BPT, first debut in November 2011. Debut around the same time were Yutong ZK6120HNG2, Ankai HFF6121G15C and 3rd-generation Youngman JNP6120GC. Foton and (10 units of) Yutong models are powered by Yuchai (Yulin Diesel) YC6L240N-50 8.4L 240PS (177kW, 237hp) Euro V natural gas engine. On BJ6123C7BTD, Voith D854.3 transmission is selected while the other two are equipped with Allison T270R. Like all other low-floor CNG rigid buses, it is considerably shorter than 12m-class diesel buses for unknown reasons.
The power train delivers a very smooth acceleration and when cruising the bus is quiet and free of excessive vibration. In comparison with the 200PS CNG buses introduced in 2007, the extra 40PS does improve performance when the bus is under full load or going up slopes.
