The Eurocoast Zhibl EHL showcased at this seminar is a benchmark work created by Eurocoast OMC for municipal sanitation scenarios, using comprehensive technological breakthroughs to solve industry pain points and providing the optimal solution for the electrification transformation of the sanitation industry.
Professional customization to break through the bottleneck in the industry and directly address the efficiency issues in the sector.
During the process of the transformation of environmental sanitation vehicles to new energy, although there is strong policy support and market demand, problems such as the contradiction between range and load capacity, poor adaptability of modifications, and high wear and tear in harsh working conditions have become the core bottlenecks restricting the upgrading of the industry. The Eurohao Zhibl EHL relies on the self-developed super energy drive chain of Foton to create an exclusive new energy platform, achieving breakthroughs in all dimensions of efficiency through 
technological innovation, and thus fundamentally solving the constraints on industry development.
The product adopts an integrated control architecture, supporting one-click switching among multiple operation modes such as sweeping, watering, and garbage compression. This significantly simplifies the operation process, shortens the personnel training period, and greatly improves the operation efficiency. The industry has pioneered the zone control battery pack technology, which can precisely allocate driving and operation energy, achieving a perfect balance between the two. The energy output increases by 10%, and the electricity consumption for operation increases by 7.5%. Combined with three energy recovery modes for light load, medium load, and heavy load, the overall energy consumption is significantly reduced, completely resolving the anxiety of the range of new energy sanitation vehicles. In response to the pain points of modification adaptation, the product is created with the "space reconfiguration" concept, featuring a universal chassis. The rear of the driver's cabin is reserved with a 3.5-4.3-meter modification space, and the sides of the frame are longest reserved at 3.2 meters. It can quickly adapt to various upper equipment, truly achieving "zero modification before entering the factory", covering more than 90% of sanitation operation scenarios.
Meanwhile, in response to the complex working environment and potential corrosion issues of the sanitation vehicles, the frame adopts an environmentally friendly electrostatic powder coating process. After undergoing a 1000-hour salt spray test, all electrical connectors are fully equipped with IP68 waterproof standards. Combined with double-sided galvanized door anti-corrosion technology, the vehicles remain as new for ten years even in harsh conditions such as rain, snow, and oil stains, significantly reducing maintenance costs and downtime. In terms of power, the 340kW high-power liquid-cooled permanent magnet motor can output 32000 Newton-meters of wheel-end torque, and is capable of climbing at a 30% slope with ease, perfectly meeting the all-weather and high-intensity requirements of sanitation operations.
Human-centered design innovation to alleviate pain points in frontline operations
A single sanitation worker has a high frequency of getting on and off the vehicle each day. The problems of a high step height, narrow cab space, and 
poor operation experience in traditional vehicles have led to high work intensity and low comfort, becoming a long-standing social concern in the industry. The Eurohao Zhibl EHL adheres to the design concept of "centering on the user", and with innovative humanization, creates a "smart first-class cabin" type mobile working space, making sanitation work more effortless and respectable.
The product innovation adopts a low-entry design, with 410mm golden-height steps enabling "one-step boarding", eliminating the need for strenuous climbing and reducing the effort required for getting on and off the vehicle by 40%, thus completely solving the fatigue problem of frequent boarding and alighting; the 2350mm wide driver's cabin combined with a flat floor structure provides a 1930mm standing space, allowing for free turning and object retrieval during operation, and ensuring unobstructed passage throughout the cabin, eliminating the operational constraints of narrow spaces. At the same time, the product is equipped with the industry's largest front windshield with the industry's smallest turning radius of 8.25 meters, making street and alley operations more flexible and providing a wider field of vision, effectively avoiding problems such as low operation efficiency and high safety risks caused by restricted field of vision.
In terms of operation and driving experience, the manual gearshift design, combined with the integrated dashboard equipped with an intelligent control system for the upper body equipment and the 360° panoramic imaging function, makes the operation more convenient. The 6-position adjustable airbag shock-absorbing seat can effectively filter out driving bumps. The modular storage system meets the storage needs for tools and items. Additionally, the NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) industry-leading quiet space design keeps the interior noise at a low level, comprehensively enhancing the driving comfort of frontline workers and integrating technological warmth into daily operations.
Global Intelligent Security Protection - Solving Industry Security Challenges
The all-time and multi-terrain operation characteristics of sanitation work, coupled with the high difficulty in managing the three-electricity safety of new energy vehicles, have made driving safety, operation safety, and three-electricity safety common safety concerns in the industry. The Euro Auto ZhiLan EHL has established a "active intelligent warning + passive robust protection + three-electricity-specific guarantee" triple safety system, which builds an impregnable safety barrier for passengers and the operation process.
In terms of active safety, it is equipped with advanced driver assistance systems such as AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking), FCW (Frontal Collision Warning), 360° Surround View, and Blind Spot Monitoring, enabling millisecond-level risk identification and intervention, accurately detecting and avoiding potential road risks, and meeting the safety requirements for low-speed operations of urban roads by sanitation vehicles; in terms of passive safety, a double H-shaped body is constructed using 1500MPa high-strength steel, with a high proportion of high-strength steel at 62%, creating a stable occupant protection structure, providing ultimate safety protection for drivers and passengers.
In the highly concerned field of three-electricity safety, the product has been meticulously enhanced to provide multiple layers of protection: The battery thermal runaway warning platform can predict the abnormal heating trend of the battery cells in advance, accurately identifying hidden faults such as internal short circuits; The high-voltage active discharge function rapidly reduces the voltage to the safety threshold after the vehicle is powered off, ensuring the safety of maintenance and driving; The high-voltage interlock system conducts millisecond-level inspections on over a hundred key nodes, immediately cutting off the high-voltage power supply upon detecting abnormal connections; The BMS active balancing technology dynamically regulates the charge status of each battery cell, keeping the battery pack in a "young" state at all times, ensuring that the driving range does not decrease and the operational efficiency is not compromised, comprehensively alleviating the anxiety of three-electricity safety in new energy sanitation vehicles.
From the "efficiency revolution" in the fuel era to the "intelligent reconstruction" in the new energy era, the debut of Euroblue EHL represents not only a precise response to all-round pain points in the sanitation industry, but also a vivid practice of Chinese commercial vehicle enterprises leveraging technological innovation to empower urban construction.
