Zhongtong Alternative Sleeper Bus Serve Shandong Province
30 July 2012
www.chinabuses.org:On July 25th, 2012, one Zhongtong large bus ran out of Shandong Weihai long-distance bus station, implying the operation of first alternative sleeper bus route in Shandong Province.
Because of "7-22" sleeper bus accident in 2011, Shandong Province Quality and Technology Supervision Bureau made strict rules on the bunk number, passageway dimensions and floor hight. On December 31st, 2011, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and Ministry of Public Security jointly published No.632 document, in which the application of new sleeper buses was suspended.
Zhongtong Bus Company began to develop the alternative model in 2010 and produced the first "Century Star" model in 2011, which was exhibited in many exhibitions.
“Century Star” LCK6127HL is the first alternative model of sleeper bus and more comfortable for passengers. The bus is equipped with large-angle half-reclined aero seats with foot handrails, on which passengers may sit or lie. Up to 140 degree backrest angle, 1000 mm seat spacing and thickening sponge for cushion & backrest make long journey more comfortable. With 37+1+1 seats, passenger capacity of LCK6127HL is the same as that of regular sleeper bus.
Zhongtong alternative sleeper bus attracted the attention of Shandong Weihai Transport Group, who purchased a total of six units for Rongcheng-Shanghai and Weihai-Beijing etc. The company will also purchase some more ones in the future.
