Recently, BAIC Foton has successfully delivered a total of 60 11 - meter CNG buses to Qatar in batches. This delivery, jointly completed by BAIC Foton, Qatari government departments and local dealers, aims to accurately meet the growing demand for clean - energy buses in the Qatari market and inject green power into local public transport.

Qatar, with the world's third - largest natural gas reserves, has been clearly promoting the upgrade of diesel - powered buses to natural - gas (NG) - powered ones since 2023. BAIC Foton quickly seized the opportunity, organized a team to conduct on - site research in Qatar, and based on its mature 11 - meter CNG inter - city bus platform, upgraded to meet the Euro - V emission standards and enhanced adaptability to high - temperature and high - dust environments. In the same year, it successfully put 4 BJ6113CNG trial - operation vehicles into service, winning positive market feedback.

With the release of Qatar's CNG bus - purchase plan by the government departments at the beginning of 2025, BAIC Foton, relying on its solid foundation, successfully won the order for 60 buses, ranking first among Chinese bus brands, which shows the effectiveness of its strategy of deeply cultivating the local market.

The delivered BJ6113 buses are specifically designed to meet Qatar's stringent environment. They have excellent environmental adaptability and can withstand the extreme heat of over 50℃ in summer, the highly saline and strongly corrosive coastal climate, as well as the dry air with high dust and impurities, ensuring stable and reliable operation around the clock under various extreme conditions. In terms of all - terrain passability, the minimum full - load ground clearance of the model is not less than 180mm after optimizing the chassis design, enabling it to easily handle various complex road conditions such as asphalt roads, thin asphalt roads and cement roads.

At the same time, the vehicle has efficient and powerful performance. The left - hand - drive design conforms to local usage habits. The maximum speed is not less than 115 kilometers per hour, which is suitable for a variety of driving scenarios such as highways and national roads. In addition, the model offers two flexible space - layout and seat - configuration options: 47 + 1 + 1 and 58 + 1 + 1, which can meet the differentiated transportation needs of different group trips.
