The difference between electric bus braking and traditional bus braking

First of all, from the unique working principle of new energy electric vehicles. There will be a kinetic energy recovery device in the new energy electric vehicle. The function of this device is to convert the engine into a generator when slowing down, so as to recover the energy lost by the deceleration of the new energy electric vehicle.

In the process of energy recovery, the motor will generate a reverse thrust, giving the driver an intuitive feeling that the vehicle is braking on its own. Because some new energy electric vehicles have high energy recovery efficiency, greater reverse force and stronger self-braking effect, people realize that new energy electric vehicles do not need braking.

Secondly, from the braking system of new energy electric vehicles. At present, the braking system of new energy vehicles has similarities and differences with that of conventional vehicles. Similarly, there is little difference in brake structure. The difference is that the energy recovery device is added to the braking system of new energy electric vehicles at present, which can also play a role in slowing down when braking to a certain extent.

Finally, talk about the situation where active braking is not needed. If the road environment is gentle and the deceleration distance is sufficient, the resistance generated by the above two energy recovery devices can be fully utilized to decelerate, so that the energy lost during deceleration can be recovered to the maximum extent. If it is in some emergency situations, considering safety factors, active braking is still needed to reduce the speed faster.
