www.chinabuses.org: In July, the board of directors of Foton issued an announcement, revealing that the vehicle producer has secured a deal with Saudi Arabia-based Al-Kifah Motors for 220 units Foton high-end pickups, Tunland, 35 units MP-S and 50 units View G7. Recently, Foton received the L/C at sight from its customer in Saudi Arabia. The smooth implementation of the sales contract signed between Foton and Saudi Arabia will further promote Foton’s presence in the overseas market.

At the end of 2014, Mr. Abdel Karim Awwad, General Manager of Al-Kifah Motors from Saudi Arabia contacted us through our website www.chinabuses.org and expressed his hope to set up cooperative ties with a commercial vehicle producer in China. The manager also hoped that we could provide some assistance for him and his company.

On January 8, 2015, Mr. Abdel Karim Awwad was invited to attend "The 9th Great Influence to China Buses Industry. The Seminar of China Bus Industry’s Overseas Development". At the conference, Mr. Abdel Karim Awwad had a precious opportunity to discuss the business development of China’s commercial vehicle producers and other related enterprises. After attending the conference, Mr. Abdel Karim Awwad became more confident that Chinese buses and related spare parts are blessed with great business opportunities in his country. In the meantime, he asked us to recommend trustworthy bus makers and high quality bus products to him as soon as possible.

From January 9 to 15 this year, Mr. Abdel Karim Awwad visited Foton, Higer, King Long and Golden Dragon. When the manager was in Beijing, Ma Chanliang, the deputy general manager of Beijing Foton International Trade Co., Ltd. and other high officials from the company warmly welcomed their guest from Saudi Arabia. After several rounds of discussions and negotiations, the customer from the Middle East decided to choose Foton and expressed its strong desire to become Foton’s authorized agent in Saudi Arabia. On April, 14, Mr. Abdel Karim Awwad and a number of other high level officials paid their third visit to Foton and the two parties finally ironed out the details of their sales agreement.

Al-Kifah Motors and Foton agreed on focusing on three types of vehicles, including Tunland, MP-S and View G7. Al-Kifah Motors is now the authorized agent for the three types of vehicles in Saudi Arabia. The first batch of 305 vehicles will smoothly start up the two parties’ cooperation. More encouragingly, Foton will greatly strengthen its presence in Saudi Arabia thanks to joining hands with Al-Kifah Motors.

In Mr. Abdel Karim Awwad’s letter to us, he expressed his gratitude to us for providing an ideal platform for him and people like him to learn China’s bus industry. Seeing more and more buses made in China have gradually made their way to many countries and regions across the globe, Mr. Abdel and his company became more determined to set up cooperative ties with China’s bus makers.
