Sinautec's forty-one seat Ultracap Buses have been serving the Greater Shanghai area since 2006. The bus is powered entirely by electricity, which is stored in ultracapacitors and batteries onboard. When the bus stops at passenger stops, the overhead charger quickly recharges the ultracapacitor onboard to allow the bus to go to its next destination. The Ultracap Bus has a top speed of 35 miles per hour and has a maximum range of 3.5 miles between charges. The bus is ideal for on-campus shuttles and municipal bus lines with short in-between-stop intervals.
When solar panels are placed on top of charging stations and surrounding building, Sinautec's Ultracapacitor Bus can be powered completely by the sun. The bus draws electric power from the charging station solar panels in sunny days, and from the electric grid in cloudy conditions. Ultracap Bus uses less than 20% the fuel cost of a conventional bus. Compared to a diesel engine bus, an Ultracap Bus can achieve a lifetime fuel saving of up to $200,000. The vehicle is noise free and generates no tailpipe pollution. Compare to a diesel bus, a Ultracap Bus can prevent over 100 tons of carbon-dioxide from entering the atmosphere each year.
