On May 28, BAIC Foton officially delivered the first batch of vehicles from its initial order of 126 electric buses to the New South Wales State Government in Australia, setting a new record for the largest single purchase of new energy buses by an Australian government. This order represents a significant breakthrough in Sino-Australian cooperation in the field of new energy transportation and marks another major achievement for BAIC Foton in delivering large-scale orders to developed country markets.

The electric buses delivered by BAIC Foton are the first outcomes of the Greater Sydney Region's zero-emission bus program. They will inject green energy into the state's public transport system and accelerate the transformation of over 8,000 traditional fuel-powered buses into cleaner alternatives.

As a flagship project of China-Australia new energy cooperation, the Beiqi Foton electric buses delivered to Australia have been meticulously developed in strict compliance with EU regulations and Australian ADR certification standards. These buses incorporate cutting-edge new energy transportation technologies, significantly reducing noise and environmental pollution during operation. They are equipped with advanced power systems and exceptional energy efficiency, ensuring faster travel speeds. Additionally, the buses feature in-vehicle air conditioning, universal access facilities, Wi-Fi, GPS, and USB ports, providing passengers with a comfortable and safe travel experience. Fully adaptable to the complex operational environment of the hilly Greater Sydney region, these buses offer an extended driving range, meeting local green travel needs with zero pollution and around-the-clock service. They are set to inject new vitality into Australia's public transportation system.

Australia, a key market for energy transition, has consistently demonstrated a high level of enthusiasm for the development of new energy vehicles. Over the years, Beiqi Foton has gradually established a strong presence in Australia through its comprehensive advantages in technology, supply chain, and service. This has laid a solid foundation and created broad prospects for future cooperation. Currently, the mass electric buses operated by Beiqi Foton in the region have received widespread acclaim from government clients for their high-quality products and services.

Amid the global trend of "decarbonization," Beiqi Foton has independently developed and mastered the core technologies of the "three electric" systems (battery, motor, and electric control). The company has achieved multi-route development of new energy technologies, including pure electric, hybrid, and hydrogen fuel cell options, covering a full range of commercial vehicle products. This progress is accelerating the green transition of the global logistics and transportation industry. Beiqi Foton's overseas new energy products are now available in 45 countries and regions worldwide, including Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and South America.

The official operation of these electric buses marks Beiqi Foton's commitment to building an environmentally friendly and energy-efficient public transportation system in the region through high-quality products, advanced technologies, and professional services. Looking ahead, Beiqi Foton will continue to advance its international layout and carbon neutrality goals. The company will deepen cooperation with international partners to jointly drive global green travel innovation, providing Chinese solutions for the development of new energy transportation in the Southern Hemisphere through concrete actions.
