18 October 2012
www.chinabuses.org: As we all know, China buses have been the focus of overseas market nowadays. Working for www.chinabuses.org, I had the chance to receive an avalanche of emails on bus purchasing consultation from foreign customers every day. On April 9th, 2012, Mr. Serge Habib from Morocco contacted me via email, expressing his intention to purchase some 12-meter tourist buses with the specification of Cummins engine (Euro IV), ZF transmission, Michelin tire, 500L-600L oil tank and 12m3 luggage cabin etc. Out of the responsibility to help customers get to know China buses, we began to assist him with the consultation and selection, which proved to be a journey of sincere friendship and trust as well.
As a bus industry veteran with over-30-year experience, Serge has his professional and unique view on buses and spare parts. Being the purchasing consultant of Satcoma Company, he was eager to purchase the buses attractive in quality and price. Satcoma, Moroccan second largest tourist transporting company, owns about 120 buses at present, dedicated in the transportation within Morocco and from Morocco to France and Italy, etc. Serge contacted with www.chinabuses.org and read straight through China Buses 2012 Guide. He got to know the prosperity of China buses industry, assembly ability of China buses and the role China buses played in world transport business, which aroused his enthusiasm on China buses industry.
After over-a-month sincere communication, Serge became familiar with China buses industry which had been involved in world buses industry and some key components could be used in China buses by global procurement or local production, as he realized. The Cummins Euro IV engine, ZF transmission and Michelin tire he wanted had been commonly used in China. With great faith in China buses industry, Serge accepted the invitation of www.chinabuses.org to visit China for the recommended bus manufacturers.
On May 13th, we greeted our distinguished guest Mr. Serge Habib in Beijing and I had the privilege to accompany Serge for the following one week. Each of four enterprises impressed him greatly. He was moved by the insistence of Zhongtong, the progress of Sunlong and the internationalization of King Long. At the same time, he pointed out that China had become the best bus supplier in the large picture, though some details still needed perfecting, especially the research on different markets, regulations and driving habits in the world. As well, he would be glad to share the information with China bus manufacturers to help them.
Sales persons from the four enterprises showed their professional competence. Happy reception, professional argument and discussion on every part and technical details proved effective communication. Finally, Serge believed he got the right partner and products. He told the reporter that he should have come to China eight years ago. Through on-the-spot investigation of China bus manufacturers, he couldn't help speaking highly of China buses. He said some day China buses would surely be well received in high-end market, including European and American markets. Though it still needed time, it’s worth waiting.
After on-the-spot investigation and high-ranking negotiation, Serge limited his choice to the two companies in Xiamen, but he said it's the President of Satcoma who would make the final decision. On May 21st, 89-year-old President flied to Xiamen and signed the contract of 30 luxury buses with King Long as his partner.
Serge said there were two reasons why the President chose King Long. First, King Long bus, in his opinion, is as good as European ones in quality and its enterprise culture and professional sales persons impressed him; Second, King Long staff rent a wheelchair to pick up the 89-year-old President at the boarding gate. The humanity care was quite moving. He believed the 30 buses were only the beginning.
July 25th was supposed to be the delivery date of the first ten buses and Serge came to King Long on July 10th, in one way to check the ten buses and in another way to conduct further discussion with King Long. Through time was pressing, King Long, responsible for its customers, rushed out the buses and promised to deliver them on time. Serge was touched by King Long's earnest and responsible attitude and well recognized the quality of the buses.
From the beginning until now, www.chinabuses.org witnessed King Long's principles of "keeping one's promise" and "utmost solicitude". On July 25th, ten blue King Long buses lined up, like well-equipped warriors waiting for the horn. We believe King Long will surely spotlight Morocco and even European market.
