On 29 November, Sunwin set to supply 51 electric buses (model: 6808BEV27) to Chongming Public Transport. This model of electric bus will be put into service in the Chongming route, replacing the last batch of diesel buses that are still serving in Chongming. Since then, buses powered by conventional energy that cause pollution will be decommissioned in Chongming bus routes, which brings the blueprint of making Chongming an ecological island one step closer to success.

   Sunwin held a delivery ceremony for this batch of new buses that are of great historical significance in the history of bus transport in Chongming. Mr. Gui Longming, the general manager of Sunwin and Ms. Jing Xinlan presented bouquets to the leaders of Chongming Public Transport respectively. After attending a specialized training for vehicle operation and safety measure, each driver slowly drove the new buses out of the plant area and headed to Chongming Island. Hopefully this batch of new buses on the Chongming bus routes can provide passengers with a high level of service and a comfortable experience.

   The 8-meter electric bus model, developed and mass produced for delivery by Sunwin, is small and agile, which makes it very suitable for the relatively complex road conditions in Chongming Island. By optimizing spatial design and decreasing space in the engine bay, it helps to enlarge the passenger cabin; and by using a design with short rear overhang, it increases the passenger capacity in the middle of the bus and hence maximizes the space inside the vehicle. Overall, this bus model creates a sense of space like the 10-meter buses.
