In less than two decades, the company has grown into a formidable bus operator in Wuhan with over 100 units travel coaches in various sizes. He Xinhua, General Manager of the company revealed that it bought eight units Golden Dragon super D8 in August, 2016. Compared with fossil-fueled vehicles, D8 is not only comparably lower in price, but it does not require any vehicle purchase tax. Thanks to the Wuhan Municipal Government’s favorable policies towards new energy vehicles, D8 is entitled to crossing all bridges in the city without any tolls.

Currently, the eight units D8 are all put into service for China Tobacco Group Hubei Zhongyan Company. With a one-way distance of about 15 kilometers, D8 offers passengers comfortable traveling experience to and off work.

Wuhan Wanshi New Energy Co., Ltd. Is specialized in selling and renting new energy vehicles (NEVs) as well as manufacturing and building recharging posts. It attaches equal importance to its recharging post business and its NEVs business, according to Wu Zhijie, General Manager of the company.
