At the event, Minister Delles and others took a test ride on the Higer electric bus and praised Higer Bus for choosing Luxembourg, the "crossroads of Europe," to establish its first European parts center and service station. It is reported that the parts center will be equipped with a full range of bus-related spare parts and will significantly reduce delivery times to better serve customers in Europe. Delles expressed that Chinese electric buses are of high quality and technologically advanced, and he welcomed Chinese companies to actively participate in the electrification upgrade of Luxembourg's bus system and to deepen the pragmatic and friendly cooperation between Luxembourg and China.

 

Ambassador Hua Ning pointed out in his speech that China has become a global leader in the electric vehicle industry. The export of Chinese electric buses is not only about providing advanced vehicles but also about perfecting the full life cycle support of the products, enhancing the operational support capabilities and customer satisfaction of Chinese electric buses in Luxembourg and Europe. He hoped that Chinese electric bus companies would work closely with local partners to enhance the resilience of the supply chain and make greater contributions to the development of green transportation and the response to climate change.

 

At the end of 2024, Luxembourg's Minister of Economy, Lex Delles, led a government delegation to visit Higer Bus and witnessed the delivery of a batch of electric buses to Luxembourg. The delivered electric buses were from the Azure series, a range of electric buses developed by Higer Bus to meet the future urban transportation needs. These buses integrate mainstream new energy technologies and intelligent manufacturing processes. The buses, with their advanced technology, high operational efficiency, and humanized design, not only meet the low-carbon and environmental protection concepts of the European market but also take into account the practical needs of European old towns to increase bus coverage and the proportion of bus electrification. The overall development concepts of the buses are in sync with Europe and meet European certification requirements. The Azure buses come in various lengths, and the seat layout can be adjusted according to customer needs. They are all low-floor and electric, suitable for various operating scenarios such as urban main and branch lines, suburban operations, and point-to-point shuttles. In actual use, operators can flexibly adjust the line formations according to passenger flow, fully leveraging the vehicle's advantages to maximize transportation efficiency and significantly reduce operating costs.
