100 Sunlong Buses Put into Operation in Shanghai
Set up in 1992, Shanghai Bus Corporation is the earliest company going public in China. Specialized in various fields, ranging from urban public transportation, rail transportation, inter-city expressway transportation, tourist transportation, car rental and modern logistics, the public transportation company is operating over 600 urban and inter-city bus routes with a fleet of 17,000 buses. Currently with a total number of employees exceeding 50,000, the company is the largest above-ground transportation service provider in Shanghai. In recent years, Shanghai Bus has become increasingly aware of the importance of environmental protection and green operation. In response, it plans to gradually replace its traditional bus fleet with new energy bus fleet.
Based in Shanghai, Sunlong Bus has been working relentlessly in R&D of new energy products, thus turning a leaf in the company’s history. The collaboration with Shanghai Bus Corporation will further consolidate its presence in Shanghai market.
