Golden Dragon Bus Wins "Overseas Responsibility" Award
23 July 2024
On July 13, 2024, the three-day 14th China Automobile Forum successfully concluded in Jiading, Shanghai. During the highly anticipated "Theme Forum III: ESG Development from an International Perspective," the "2024 Sustainable Development Practice Cases in China Automobile Industry" were officially released. This award, carefully guided by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, aims to recognize enterprises that have made outstanding contributions to sustainable development. Among the recipients, Golden Dragon Bus was honored with the "Overseas Responsibility" award for its case titled "The Overseas CKD Project of Golden Dragon Pure Electric Buses Boosting the Green Upgrade of Ethiopia's Transportation." This recognition highlights Golden Dragon Bus's excellent performance in promoting the global transformation towards green transportation.
The award-winning case of Golden Dragon Bus vividly demonstrates the remarkable achievements and social responsibility of Chinese new energy vehicle enterprises in overseas markets. In response to the ambitious goal of the Ethiopian government to build a carbon-free transportation system, Golden Dragon Bus actively responded by not only introducing high-quality pure electric bus products to the country but also establishing long-term cooperative relationships with local enterprises through the CKD (Completely Knocked Down) model. This collaboration aims to jointly promote the development of electric vehicles and clean transportation systems.
According to data from the Ethiopian Ministry of Transport and Logistics, the country's significant expenditure on fuel imports and reliance on old, high-pollution vehicles have prompted the government to vigorously promote the popularization of electric vehicles. Leveraging its rich experience and technical advantages in the field of electric vehicles, Golden Dragon Bus has provided strong support for the green upgrade of Ethiopia's transportation. Currently, an increasing number of Golden Dragon pure electric buses are operating on the streets of Ethiopia, becoming a prominent feature of urban public transportation.
Boosting the Local Economy and Receiving an Enthusiastic Market Response
The cooperation between Golden Dragon Bus and the Ethiopian BKG Group has not only promoted the localized production of electric vehicles but also driven the development of the local industrial chain, creating numerous job opportunities. The successful commissioning of the CKD factory has not only improved Ethiopia's industrial manufacturing level but also injected new vitality into the local economy.
Previous reports by Xinhua News Agency have also confirmed the success of Golden Dragon Bus in Ethiopia. In an interview, electric minibus driver Adam praised the comfort and environmental protection of Golden Dragon pure electric buses. He believes that they not only enhance the driving experience but also reduce air pollution, bringing a cleaner and healthier travel environment to citizens.
