On February 22, the 2025 Commercial Vehicle Industry Assembly (CCVIA) hosted by the China Automobile Dealers Association opened grandly in Xiamen, Fujian Province. As an annual grand event in the field of domestic commercial vehicles, the conference attracted many experts and corporate representatives from the commercial vehicle industry to gather together to discuss the development trend of the industry and exchange cutting-edge technologies and innovative experiences. Among them, the export special session became the focus of the conference, especially the export of new energy buses, which attracted much attention.
In recent years, the export of buses in China has witnessed remarkable achievements, and Golden Dragon Motor has emerged as a prominent player in this arena.Golden Dragon Bus was invited to attend the conference. Wang Jinji, Executive Vice President of Golden Dragon Bus Overseas Sales Company, delivered a keynote speech on behalf of Golden Dragon at the conference.
In 2024, China's bus export achieved outstanding results. The export volume of new energy buses grew by 55.62% compared to the previous year. The overseas market scale exceeded 2.1billion US dollars and continued to expand. Golden Dragon Motor, in particular, had an excellent performance. It exported 8,592 buses of various types in 2024, with an export value of approximately 420 million US dollars. Its export volume ranked second stably in the industry. Among them, the export volume of new energy buses exceeded 1,400 units, and the export value was over 130 million US dollars. In the past three years, Golden Dragon Motor has provided new energy products to 31 countries and regions around the world, with a cumulative export of more than 5,600 units and a total sales volume exceeding 500 million US dollars.
The global trend of advocating green travel has spurred continuous innovation in the bus industry. Through independent research and development, Chinese bus enterprises have made great leaps in multiple aspects, and some key technologies have reached the world's leading level. Golden Dragon Motor's new energy buses possess outstanding performance in the core systems of "Three Electric Systems" (power battery, drive motor, and electric control system). They are highly competitive in terms of lightweight design and energy consumption. Its new energy commercial vehicle solutions have won wide recognition in the international market.
The "Belt and Road Initiative" has opened up broad prospects for the export of China's new energy buses. Golden Dragon Motor has strategically laid out KD factories in 13 countries and regions along the "Belt and Road". For example, in Ethiopia, after the country promulgated the electric vehicle policy in 2022, Golden Dragon Motor won an order for 2,50 sets of pure electric bus parts. This was the first large order for pure electric KD parts buses in the African region. Moreover, it achieved the "group going overseas" of the "Three Electric Systems", driving the supply chain enterprises to take root in the local area, exporting China's production capacity and technologies, and enabling the implementation of "China's solutions" and "China's standards" overseas.
In conclusion, Golden Dragon Motor's achievements in bus export not only demonstrate its own strength but also reflect the growing influence of China's bus industry in the global market under the favorable background of the times.
