The "Belt and Road" initiative sees new green developments! In Medan City, Indonesia (hereinafter referred to as Indonesia), a quiet green revolution in public transportation is underway. To improve local public transportation and respond to the global call for energy conservation and emission reduction, the Medan City Transportation Authority recently purchased 60 high-end pure electric buses from Suzhou King Long Haier Buses. This project is the first batch of pure electric bus project in Medan City and also the largest single-brand bus purchase in Indonesia, setting a strong positive example for other regions in the country. This is not only a significant upgrade in the history of public transportation in Medan City but also an important milestone in the development of public transportation in Indonesia.
Recently, the delivery and operation ceremony of 60 Haier pure electric buses was held at Merdeka Square. Mayor Bobby Nasution of Medan City, officials from the Medan City Transportation Authority, and Jiang Haifeng, General Manager of Overseas Sales at Suzhou King Long, attended the ceremony. Local residents from all over the city eagerly came to the scene to witness this important moment. At the ceremony, Mayor Bobby Nasution of Medan City announced the official operation of the vehicles. The Medan City Transportation Authority distributed 4,500 bus cards for residents to use.
Mayor Bobby Nasution of Medan City pointed out:
Green transportation is a necessary factor for the positive development of a city. The 60 pure electric buses purchased this time truly achieve zero emissions, which will greatly improve the quality of life for residents and have a positive impact on environmental protection. Subsequently, all buses in Medan City will adopt pure electric buses, and Medan City will become the only city in Indonesia to achieve 100% pure electric buses.
The batch of vehicles is the star product of the sixth generation of Haier's intelligent connected urban bus Azure series, with an exterior that continues the classic shape of the sixth-generation Haier bus, with a large V-shape呼应ing前后, and side skirt design using the golden ratio, making the whole vehicle full of fashion and futuristic sense. The interior of the vehicle is luxuriously decorated, equipped with high-end driver's seats and 26 soft luxury passenger seats, providing a comfortable driving experience for drivers and passengers.
Jiang Haifeng, General Manager of Overseas Sales at Haier Buses, introduced:
Suzhou King Long conducted thorough visits, research, and on-site inspections before the project, made a lot of adaptive designs for local operating conditions, and "tailor-made" this product for Medan. The ECAS II system equipped on the vehicle can adjust the vehicle's suspension to change the vehicle's height and tilt appropriately, making it convenient for passengers to get on and off, especially the side tilt mode fully considering the experience of passengers with wheelchairs and strollers. The middle double doors are equipped with wheelchair guide plates and two disabled person seats, greatly facilitating the travel of the disabled. According to the local climate conditions, the whole vehicle adopts aluminum alloy wheels, aluminum alloy air tanks, and stainless steel material handrails to improve corrosion resistance.
In terms of after-sales maintenance, Suzhou King Long has a professional after-sales service station in Indonesia, which can provide a high-efficiency service system to ensure the vehicles, making customers more at ease in operation.
The successful implementation of the Medan pure electric bus project has greatly improved local public transportation services. The main vehicles of this batch of orders serve six core bus routes in the local area, starting from Merdeka Square in the center of Medan City and radiating to the center, while all routes will be connected with train station stops, making environmentally friendly, comfortable, and convenient pure electric buses greatly facilitate the green travel of the local people.
