On digital, network and intelligence field, personnel training field and transportation equipment field, FOTON, especially AUV has given a full support to Lhasa public transportation in recent years.” Vice general manager of Lhasa Transportation Industry Group told to the reporter.
“I have lived in Lhasa for over 20 years and witnessed the development of Lhasa public transportation industry. Especially on bus travelling, we can also take the new energy bus. In the past, the buses were heavy noisy and pollution.” The head of China Communication Liu Chunhui said.
“Lhasa is located in Tibetan Plateau, so we must choose different buses from the other regions to meet our special requirements of bus brand and configuration. For example, the bus lengths focus on 8.5m, 10m, 10.5m and 12m, while the engine power employs Yuchai hybrid system and so on. FOTON AUV has always designed and R&D accurately according to our operating routes. So did they this time.” Vice general manager of Lhasa Transportation Industry Group recommended.
FOTON vice president Fan Xianjun responded, “We are the strategy partner relations and have understandings in many years of cooperation. We hope our buses can drive into every citizen’s heart. In the meantime, we will promote the new Lhasa bus to move on with the advantage of FOTON and BAIC whole industry chain, as well as make all subsequent work co-operated with Beijing Government accurate support spirit.”
