Recently, 108 brand-new high-end pure electric urban buses, worth more than 100 million CNY in total, pulled out of the CHTC Intelligent EV Bus factory area in the Hengyang High-tech Zone. These buses will be exported to South Korea.
"These buses feature low energy consumption and maintenance costs, which coincides with the green travel idea of South Korea and is beneficial to the local economy and environment," said the general manager of the CHTC Intelligent EV Bus Co., Ltd.
Since 2022, the company has witnessed steady growth in NEVs exports. With these 108 pure electric urban buses marking its eighth delivery to South Korea, it has delivered more than 400 NEVs to South Korean clients accumulatively.
To support its endeavors in expanding overseas markets, the company has established a sound after-service network and a complete supply system of NEV parts, ensuring rapid response and effective solutions to routine services such as vehicle maintenance, trouble removal, and auto part replacement. Its pure electric buses are seen running on many roads in South Korea, satisfying local people's needs of green travels.
Beyond South Korea, the company has made breakthroughs in NEV export to other countries and regions, such as Saudi Arbia, Portugal, India, Indonesia, Brazil, and Mexico. For instance, its shuttle buses have been adopted at the Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and other airports in Europe. Its annual sales are expected to multiply in 2024, hitting a record 500 million CNY.
Automobile industry is a traditional sector of Hengyang City. There are 534 auto manufacturers around the city, including six automobile enterprises and over 80 large-sized auto part producers, generating 20 percent of auto part sales revenue in the province. Hengyang has been continuously boosting industrial upgrading to cater to the energy conservation and electrification trends of auto industry and expand overseas market. Statistics showed that, Hengyang-made NEVs have been exported to nearly 30 countries and regions around the world.
