From March 23 to 28, the ninth FIG Acrobatic Gymnastics World Age Group Competitions was held in Putian, Fujian Province. A total number of 800 athletes from 34 countries and regions took part in the event. Immediately after that, the 25th Acrobatic Gymnastics World Championships kicked off on April 1 in the city. It will last for three days and over 1,500 athletes from 30-plus countries, including those from USA, UK, Russia, and Germany will participate in the event.
To make both events a big success, Putian Municipal Government dispatched 20 units Kast electric coaches made by Golden Dragon to provide transportation services for all athletes and referees during the competition. On March 20, over 370 drivers received a comprehensive training to better prepare them for the two event.
To reduce the environmental impacts and make both events green, the organizing committee has chosen electric Kast coaches made by Golden Dragon. Mr. Huang, a coach driver with over 20 years driving experience, raised his thumb after driving electric Kast for the first time, saying "I am very excited to drive the electric vehicle for the first time. It is surprising that it (Kast) can be so stable while in operation. What"s more, it can start up and accelerate very rapidly without generating much noise. Passengers also expressed their great satisfaction with the vehicle".
Among the 20 units electric Kasts, 15 of them served at China"s First Youth Games held last year. Before the start of the two big events this year, Golden Dragon has set up a special backup team with over ten after-sales and technical engineers to guarantee their smooth operation. Apart from Kasts, 120 units Golden Dragon electric city buses are also working in Putian, providing environmentally-friendly services for local citizens.
Since its debut, Kast has been the best seller among its counterparts in China. Since 1998, it has been providing impeccable services for the annual NPC and CPPCC sessions for nineteen consecutive years. As a member of the central government"s coach fleet, it can always be found at important conference and reception venues. Boasting high flexibility, Kast can be widely used for business reception, official reception, urban shuttle services, medium- and short-distance passenger transportation services. Currently, with the rising popularity of new energy vehicles, the electrically powered Kasts are becoming more popular among the customers.
