China handed over 160 electric buses to Pakistan at a ceremony, which was held in Suzhou Industrial Park, China, recently.
According to a report of China Economic Net, these electric buses have zero emissions, low operating costs and low noise pollution, which will greatly improve the efficiency of public transportation operations and the quality of public travel.
The value of the order exceeds RMB 150 million (Chinese currency), which is the first time that Pakistan has introduced pure electric buses in large quantities.
Officials from Pakistan, including General Manager Suzhou Higer, Qiu Yuanhong, Deputy General Manager Xie Jianghong, Customer Service Director Jiang Haifeng, and General Manager of Overseas Sales, were among the attendees of the ceremony.
In terms of software intelligence, these electric buses are equipped with the intelligent operation system T-BOX, which can monitor driver behavior and vehicle operation data in real time to ensure operational safety and protect passenger travel.
The arrival of 160 e-buses to Pakistan is a new starting point, promoting the high-quality development of CPEC and BRI in the field of public transportation.
Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Sharjeel Inam Memon said the new fleet of buses has arrived in Karachi. Taking to X, previously known as Twitter, Memon wrote, “Good News for #Karachi.
