EVLINK Automotive Water Heater Innovations

Introduction

In recent years, with increasingly stringent environmental policies and the continuous development of new energy technologies, electric buses have gradually gained a foothold in the market due to their unique advantages. Compared to traditional diesel buses, electric buses not only have significant environmental benefits but also offer cost savings in long-term operations for enterprises.
The advantages of electric buses are mainly reflected in two aspects. Firstly, from an environmental perspective, electric buses can significantly reduce exhaust emissions, contributing positively to air quality improvement. This is especially important today, given the frequent occurrences of heavy pollution weather. Secondly, although the initial purchase cost of electric buses is higher, their operating costs are lower. Over the long term, the total cost is significantly lower than that of diesel buses.





EVLINK's PTC electric heaters play a critical role in electric buses. These 20kW PTC liquid heaters can provide sufficient heating power, enabling electric buses to quickly increase the cabin temperature even in extremely cold environments.
