The influence of the layout space in the car. Applying the wheel drive system to the bus, its unique layout can provide more space for the design of the bus, and take the lead in realizing the layout of the bus with flat, low floor and large aisles on a global scale.

"Public transportation is a livelihood project. The large-volume and convenient BMT can help enterprises achieve a balance of economic and social benefits." At present, Kangchi has put 27 BMT into use on 4 bus lines in Fuzhou.

Since August 2020, Jinhua Public Transport Group Co., Ltd. has successively put BMT into No.24 bus operation line and Jinwu Express Line 9. BMT is stable and safe for children, women and the disabled, so it has been called "the most elderly-friendly bus model". Passengers have to climb two steps to get on the bus, and there are steps at the back of the carriage. The BMT is boarded on a low-floor, and the entire carriage has no steps, which avoids the stumbling of the elderly caused by the steps in the traditional carriage. When the elderly in wheelchairs get on and off the BMT, the driver can manipulate the driving device to turn the car sideways, and at the same time open the door movable pedal, connect with the ground, and go directly to the wheelchair fixed area at the back of the car, greatly optimizing the convenient ride experience.
