2016 Guangdong International Urban Transit Exhibition was solemnly opened at Guangzhou International Procurement Center on September 12. Themed by “Innovative Driving, Green Bus and Intelligent Transport”, this exhibition attracted a number of mainstream new energy bus, charging facility and core component manufactures at home and abroad for participation. As the pioneer of Chinese new energy bus, King Long displayed fourNEVmodels, shared latest research findings, and presented new energy integrated solution.
With the theme of “A Beam of Light that Changes the City”, King Long released new products “city light” series at 10:00, under the witness of shipping enterprise representatives and media, marking King Long new generation of platformization bus “city light” series are formally listed.
City light, bringing new brilliance to city
“City light” series cover various types of vehicles, such as traditional vehicle, clean energy vehicle, hybrid electric vehicle, pure electric vehicle, 6m-18m BRT, coach, minibus and micro cycle bus, so they could meet different bus transport needs. Especially, the new energy vehicle models are equipped with easydrive 2.0 system upgrading, which realize intelligent management and remote control, improves energy conservation and efficiency, and creates more value for customers.
“A Beam of Light that Changes the City”: Urban public transport is a window of city, as well as a part of urban culture and image. With the design though of “urban culture”, the vision of “city light” series is to make public transport add luster to urban culture.

In May, King Long developed a new brand concept, “innovative advance depending on you”, to add more humane element to bus strategically. The new “city light” series is the sincere works of King Long to facilitate “better movement”
Focusing onSouth Chinaand boosting green transport
Guangdong and south China have long been the strategic market of King Long, which are characterized by fast introduction of new model, rapid updating, high product demand and wide market capacity. Data show that passenger capacity ofGuangdongpublic transport will be increased year by year, with 13.06 billion person-times in 2015, accounting for 10% of national public transport passenger capacity. InGuangzhou, Shenzhen and other cities, the daily passenger capacity of public transportation exceeds 10 million person-times. So, it could be said that Guangdong is not only an “economically big province”, but also a “public transport big province”.
To conform to national new energy strategy, Guangdong Province took the lead in the promotion of new energy bus in recent years. In August, Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and Government issued the Opinions for Accelerating and Promoting Ecological Civilization Construction, which specifically points out that “the proportion of new energy bus inventory in all buses is expected to exceed 70% by 2020, and Pearl River Delta region will grow into a national demonstration region for promotion and application of pure electric bus”.
“City light” series receive consistent praise from leaders of China RoadTransport Association and Guangdong Urban Public Transport Association
With the 15 years of experience in new energy research and development, King Long has formed complete production lines for new energy buses of 5.5m to 12m after full consideration of high efficiency, energy conservation, economy and security. King Long has achieved outstanding success inGuangdongby every generation of new energy product from clean energy model, hybrid power model, plug-in hybrid model to pure electric model. In 2015, King Long worked together with Shenzhen Jiahua Lidao and South China Agricultural Universityto jointly construct new energy vehicle “enterprise-research institute-university” project. As a result, South China Agricultural University becomes Guangdong first and national first batch of universities that use pure electric school bus.
