LIAOCHENG, China, Aug. 14, 2023 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--

On August 8, the delivery ceremony of the first batch of the 1,000 Zhongtong

buses ordered by Kyrgyzstan was held at Zhongtong Bus Holding Co., Ltd. in

Liaocheng Economy and Technology Development Zone of Shandong, China. The 500

vehicles in this batch will be shipped to Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan,

in succession by September 30 this year. The next batch of buses will be all

delivered by 2024.

This batch of buses are natural gas powered passenger buses customized and

developed according to local demands, with a length of 10.5 meters, adopting

the design of a full-flat low floor and a wide passage. Compared with fuel

vehicles, their carbon emissions are reduced by 20-30% and sulfide emissions

reduced by 99%, and their driving convenience, comfort and

environment-friendliness have been well improved.

In recent years, with the mounting pressure from air pollution and ecological

improvement, the government of Kyrgyzstan hopes to introduce clean energy

vehicles to replace the existing fuel buses and boost the low-carbon transition

of public transportation. On May 20 this year, the off-line ceremony of the

first batch of the 1,000 Zhongtong buses ordered by Kyrgyzstan was held at

Zhongtong Bus Holdings Co., Ltd. in Liaocheng Economy and Technology

Development Zone of Shandong, China, with a theme of "Co-building the Silk Road

in the New Era of Greenness". Politicians and officials of Kyrgyzstan came to

the site to "accept the buses".

Currently, Zhongtong Bus has an annual production capacity of 30,000 large,

medium and light buses, producing more than 140 kinds of products in six series

such as public transportation, passenger transport, sightseeing, group

transport, school buses and special-purpose buses, with its products exported

to more than 100 countries and regions. With the expansion of overseas market,

Zhongtong Bus's share of overseas market continues to increase, making it one

of the typical brands in the global bus industry.
