Latest statistics show that Zhongtong sold 5,443 units travel coaches from January to November this year, up by 108% year on year.
Early this year, 20 units Zhongtong LCK6119HQ5A1 travel coaches arrived in Bingzhou. Soon, the bus maker secured a deal of 500 units travel coaches in Beijing. With a number of other high-profile orders, Zhongtong travel coaches enjoyed a fast expansion in 2017.
To satisfy the ever demanding customers, Zhongtong has been focusing on three main areas, including improving the overall quality of its products, innovating bus manufacturing technologies and setting new trends for the public transport market.
Take LCK6119HQ5A1 and LCK6125HQ5A1 for example. Measuring 11-meters and 12-meters in length, both are the blockbuster products of Zhongtong in the high-end travel coach market. Adopting internationally competitive 1258 Bus Anti-Combustion System, CAE designed structure, and three-point safety belt, both vehicles have greatly improved their passenger- and driver-friendliness.
In 2017 alone, LCK6125HQ5A1 made its way to Chinese capital in 24 batches. LCK6119HQ5A1 also witnessed a more visible presence in Shandong, Guangdong, Guangxi, Gansu, Shaanxi and Shanxi.
Zhongtong LCK6906H5A1 is another star product worth mentioning. Measuring 9 meters in length, the coach sold 150 units in Beijing. In addition, it performed impressively in a number of scenic spots across China, becoming an indisputably rising star in the current travel coach market in China.
Apart from those vehicles mentioned above, Zhongtong LCK6906H5A, LCK6119HQ5A1 and LCK6125HQ5A1 all played an essential role in increasing its total sales of travel coaches this year.
Since late 2016, Zhongtong hybrid coaches and electric coaches have been gaining rising popularity. LCK6108EVK is one of the many Zhongtong electric vehicles which are well received by the market. With its protection level reaching IP67, the vehicle can wade through deeper waters compared with other vehicles powered by fossil fuels. In addition, it has successfully passed a number of stringent tests, fully demonstrating its competence in working under various demanding conditions. Thanks to its BMS, the vehicle monitors its batteries’ temperature, voltage, electric current, power storage in real-time. It will immediately send alarms once a slightest abnormal situation occurs. Nowadays, the vehicle can be easily seen in Shandong, Jiangsu, Guangdong and Hunan.
Early this year, Zhongtong received an order of 600 units LCK6108EVK, which were later put into service in Liaoning and Inner Mongolia. In later half of this year, fourteen batches of LCK6018EVK were delivered to Shanghai. For the whole year, the total sales volume of LCK6108EVK is expected to reach 1,000 units.
In the overseas market, Zhongtong’s travel coaches also delivered a better-than-expected performance. By diversifying its product line, strengthening its marketing efforts and improving its after-sales services, the bus maker successfully exported 50 units luxury double-deckers to Ecuador in April this year. In Philippines, Zhongtong’s market share also jumped to 16.8% with its 11-meter and 12-meter travel coaches playing a key role in the local high-end passenger transport market. In Saudi Arabia, which already has a visible presence of Zhongtong city buses and school buses, Zhongtong sold 600 units Shijia high-end travel coaches to the country this year.
From January to November this year, Zhongtong’s export volume grew by 47.5%, with its overseas sales revenue ranking the first place among all bus makers in China.()
