Xiamen King Long luxury buses exported to Cuba

September 26, 2008


Shanghai, September 26 (Gasgoo.com) On September 21, the 141 King Long (Golden Dragon) luxury buses made by Xiamen King Long Auto were loaded onto a freight ship at Xiamen Dongdu port. This is the first big batch of King Long buses exported to the Cuban market and also the biggest-ever order from South America for King Long buses, said a Xiamen newspaper.

The 141 King Long luxury buses exported to Cuba include six types, ranging from the 6-meter bus to the 12-meter one. To meet the needs of Cuban customers and the local conditions in the South American country, Xiamen King Long has improved much on many features of its current bus models, such as the medical kit box, carpet, audio system, baggage racks, and clothes cabinets, to make the bus more passenger-friendly. In addition, the King Long bus has anti-corrosive properties and can operate well in the humid, rainy Cuban climate.

Xiamen Jing Long has sent three employees to escort the 141 buses to Cuba. They will provide training to the local technicians and drivers on how to operate and drive the Jing Long buses. The Chinese bus maker is also preparing to set up a Jing Long bus components center in Cuba.

This year, Xiamen Jing Long buses have rolled into 10 emerging markets including Australia and Cuba, bringing the number of its export destinations to more than 50 countries and regions from the 40 of last year. From January to August, the export revenue of Xiamen Jing Long reached 900 million yuan ($132 million), exceeding the total of the whole year 2007.

King Long bus, coach '08 export revenue up 90%

December 19, 2008
Shanghai, December 19 (Gasgoo.com) Xiamen King Long United Automotive Industry Co Ltd, a Xiamen-based bus and coach manufacturer, expects its export revenue to rise by more than 90% year on year to $200 million in 2008, defying the global auto market downturn, state media reported earlier this week.

Over the past three years, King Long has been growing by over 30% annually, and this year it will chalk up 5.3 billion yuan ($774 million) of sales, 25% of which will come from overseas business. As a leader in China's coach-making industry, King Long contributed 18% of all the buses and coaches the country exported in the first ten months of 2008, up from previous year's 13%, according to Custom figures.



The company attributed the strong export growth to its proactive sales strategy and overseas management system covering sales, after-sales service, product certification, international financing, customer relations and logistics. The company has a staff of 100 to manage its overseas expansion and its vehicles have met international vehicle standards like Russia's GOST (gosudarstvennyy standard) and Australia's ADR (Australian Design Rules) for imports.

Founded in 1988, the Xianmen coach-maker started its overseas business in 2001, and now has a sales network spreading in 55 countries or regions. In 2008, King Long has expanded to 10 emerging markets including Australia and Cuba. The company plans to sell half of its products to foreign countries in the future.

King Long will focus on African market next year, as the ongoing global financial crisis is likely to have a mild impact on the continent, while continuing to explore Asian markets such as Singapore, Thailand, India and Pakistan. It has also identified Latin America as a key market.
