On May 25th, Golden Dragon Bus stood out for its outstanding contributions in the field of green transportation and was honored with the "Outstanding Contribution Brand in Green Transportation" Award.

This accolade not only attests to Golden Dragon Bus technological prowess and market leadership but also signifies that Chinese bus brands have gained a say in the global green transformation.

The receipt of the "Outstanding Contribution Brand in Green Transportation" award is a vivid testament to Golden Dragon Bus's years of deep cultivation in strategic markets and solid foundation for development.

In Africa, Golden Dragon Bus actively responded to Ethiopia's "Electric Mobility Plan" and, through the model of "technical standard output + industrial chain localization," assisted in the construction of East Africa's first national-level new energy transportation system. The project deeply embodies the "Belt and Road" cooperation philosophy of "joint consultation, joint construction, and shared benefits." Leveraging the advantages of China's entire new energy vehicle industrial chain, it has formed an innovative development paradigm of "technology input - standard output - industrial incubation - talent cultivation - ecosystem co-construction."

In 2022, Golden Dragon Bus responded positively to the Ethiopian government's call for "localized manufacturing," and its first-phase factory in the country commenced operations on schedule. The first batch of 216 pure electric narrow-body light buses was successfully launched into the market, marking East Africa first new energy KD (knocked-down) assembly project.

During the project's implementation, Golden Dragon Bus conducted on-site research and comprehensively introduced Chinese standards into the construction of commercial vehicle charging facilities in Ethiopia, making Chinese national standards an important criterion for commercial vehicle tenders in the country. Meanwhile, the project has nurtured numerous local engineers and skilled workers, created a substantial number of job opportunities, effectively enhanced local industrial manufacturing capabilities, and injected strong momentum into Ethiopia's economic development.

On April 1st, 2025, Golden Dragon Bus and the Ethiopian government held a delivery ceremony for 100 12-meter pure electric buses in Addis Ababa, the capital city, marking a new stage in Sino-Ethiopian cooperation in the field of green transportation. As of 2025, Golden Dragon Bus's inventory of new energy buses in Ethiopia has reached 900 units, firmly securing its top position in the market.

By exporting Chinese standards, sharing technological expertise, and cultivating local talents, Golden Dragon Bus has not only established long-term and stable cooperation with countries like Ethiopia but also fulfilled its commitment to "Made in China, Powered by Intelligence" in supporting high-quality global transportation development through pragmatic actions.

Transitioning from "merely selling vehicles" to providing multifaceted empowerment, Golden Dragon Bus is breaking the dual shackles of "technological gaps" and "standard deficiencies" for more countries, offering systemic support.

As a pioneer among Chinese bus enterprises in overseas markets, Golden Dragon Bus has established 13 KD factories overseas within just five years, creating a new paradigm for production capacity cooperation between China and countries along the "Belt and Road."

Among them, the Golden Dragon Egypt KD factory, with the largest production capacity, has cumulatively produced over 6,000 light buses. The Thailand factory, known for its stringent delivery timeline requirements, assembled and produced approximately 3,000 new energy buses during the pandemic. The most challenging to construct was undoubtedly the Golden Dragon Ethiopia KD factory, spanning 7 hectares, which is the first large-scale new energy KD project for buses established by a Chinese bus enterprise in Africa.

Golden Dragon Bus's innovative practices are a vivid microcosm of the "China Solution" empowering the world. After being crowned with the "Excellent Contribution Brand in Green Transportation" award, Golden Dragon Bus will take more resolute steps to continuously shine the spotlight on the "Made in China, Powered by Intelligence" brand, write more win-win stories along the "Belt and Road," and inject Chinese strength into the global upgrade of green transportation.
