4. Easy Ingress/Egress and Dwelling Ability
Easy Ingress/Egress
An open step is provided for easy ingress/egress.
The tilt steering is also provided with a memory as on the 7FB series to allow full forward tilting of the
steering column to ensure smoother ingress/egress.
Step height
Dwelling Ability
Compared to previous models, the head clearance is increased by 25 mm (0.98 in) to 1,025 mm (40.4
in).
5. Maintenance Cost Reduction
Maintenance items specific to battery vehicles are as follows:
1)
Addition of distilled water for battery
2)
Pump motor brush replacement
3)
Pump contactor replacement in controller
4)
Drive motor brush replacement
5)
Drive contactor replacement in controller
Since the AC motor has no brush and contactor as explained earlier, brush replacements are
unnecessary. Depending on the operating conditions at each customer, the annual maintenance cost
can be reduced as much as 80%.
The newly adopted acceleration-off regeneration system regenerates the electrical braking energy
upon accelerator pedal release during traveling in the battery by making the most of the wider motor
control range of the AC motor drive system. This accelerator-off regeneration system not only extends
the operation hours and improves the running stability by electrical braking but also reduces the brake
load and lining wear for less brake maintenance cost.
