International Bus Exhibition in Beijing, there are 19 passenger vehicle manufacturers, the balance of 60 passenger cars on display. Reporter exhibition show car's transmission was equipped with a rough statistics, the balance found in the 60 passenger cars, there are 40 types of vehicles are equipped with gear manufacturers own brand production manual transmission. Manual transmission by domestic technology is mature, low fuel consumption impact of automatic transmission equipped with a passenger bus this exhibition several flower embellishment, "safflower."

    ¡ö Leading exhibitors manual transmission bus

    The passenger in the exhibition site, Qijiang, Fast, China and other domestic heavy truck transmission manufacturing production of manual transmission is the main exhibition bus configuration, as the bus show the most common brand of several major transmission.

    FAW passenger bus on display 3 and 1 high-speed passenger buses, are equipped with their own brand of transmission gear. In addition to high-speed bus which is equipped with factory Qijiang gear 6-speed manual transmission, the other 3 are equipped buses in the development of FAW their transmission. Wuhan Yangtze River Bus Group with 3 bus, are equipped with the transmission plant Qijiang gear.

    "Transmission compared to foreign and domestic transmission is relatively cheap, good performance, in the same conditions, we prefer the use of domestic transmission. If the customer has specific requirements, we will be optional transmission abroad." Enterprises are responsible for a bus said.

    Reporter noted that in the autonomous status of the brand position of absolute dominance transmission passenger car show scene, a group of foreign brands stand transmission. South Korean Unification of which the United States Allison, Scania Sweden international brands such as the transmission booths, however, compared to the domestic transmission brands in the exhibition a large number of models equipped with these foreign brands transmission bit solitary. Abroad in the domestic passenger car transmission manual transmission is gradually reducing the impact of the market, they more often occupy high-tech automatic transmission market, to some extent, this change transmission industry in China has sounded the alarm.

    ¡ö Bus automatic transmission is hard to promote a wide range of

    Although the automatic transmission in the domestic passenger cars began to emerge, but in the main bus passenger participation in this exhibition, the automatic transmission is rare, has not become the mainstream of public transport bus transmission.

    Passenger cars on display in many enterprises, there are 40 types of cars with manual transmission, 10-balance models with automatic transmission. This shows the relative maturity of the domestic manual transmission technologies, control of the fuel consumption, lower cost than the automatic transmission advantage; the other hand shows that the domestic automatic transmission is also largely dependent on imported products, the transmission level of enterprise technology and production capacity is limited, imports product cost is relatively high glow plug,spark plug. Thus, to some extent, caused by automatic transmission failure on a massive scale of urban bus applications.

    In recent years, with automatic transmission technology, to improve conditions for bus drivers become the driving requirements of the bus company, bus company has introduced a number of cities equipped with automatic transmission Buses. For a time, automatic transmission, the bus will become the development trend of urban bus sounds gradually become larger.

    Although the automatic transmission easy to operate glow plug,spark plug, greatly reducing the labor intensity of bus drivers, but the automatic transmission to bring the car cost, the use of the high fuel consumption is that many users can not afford the bus.

    A bus company booth staff told reporters: "In China, the vast majority of bus users or groups favored manual transmission, after all, compared to automatic transmission, manual transmission fuel economy advantage more pronounced. Automatic transmission, although the handling better than the manual transmission, Some cities also purchased a bus equipped with automatic transmission cars, but still an isolated phenomenon. automatic transmission buses in the Chinese market has not scale.
