Xiamen-made buses enter global market
A total of 150 buses made by Xiamen Golden Dragon Co were loaded on a ship under the supervision of Xiamen Customs on Jan 30, and will be delivered to the Republic of Cyprus. It was the first batch of Xiamen-made buses exported to a country involved in the Belt and Road Initiative this year.
According to industry insider, 30 percent of the buses are new energy vehicles, and they will be put into the public transportation system in Nicosia, which is the capital of the Republic of Cyprus.
To meet the high technology requirements and delivery date, Xiamen Customs gave professional instructions to the bus-making company. At the same time, to make sure that the bus-maker enjoyed clearance dividends, Xiamen Customs also gave relevant information about the shipping line to the company beforehand.
According to the person in charge of Xiamen Golden Dragon Co, the company will give full play to its advantages in fields such as electrification, intelligence and networking, which is expected to make Xiamen more influential in global car-making industry.
