Chery & Wanda Buses Escort Saudi Hajj Pilgrims || Guizhou-Made Buses Provide First Batch of Service to the Middle East Market

On April 2nd, Chery & Wanda Guizhou Bus Co., Ltd. held the shipment ceremony for the Saudi Hajj buses. Leaders from the Guiyang Economic and Technological Development Zone government, the Traffic Police Division of Guizhou Provincial Public Security Department, the Vehicle Management Division of the Public Traffic Administration Bureau, representatives from Saudi Arabian dealerships, and relevant leaders from Chery & Wanda Guizhou Bus Co., Ltd. attended and witnessed this milestone moment — the first bulk export of Chery Hajj buses to Saudi Arabia.

Zeng Haiyin, Deputy Director of the Guiyang Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee, emphasized during the ceremony that opening up to the outside world is an essential path to national prosperity and development. Chery Wanda Buses actively implements the "Belt and Road" initiative, building a model for modern transportation construction along the "Belt and Road," and providing an important platform for the "Economic Development Zone intelligent manufacturing to sail overseas." The successful delivery of this Saudi order will strongly promote the establishment of a "fortress" for enterprises in the West Asian markets, laying a solid foundation for future market expansion.

Hu Xiangcheng, General Manager of Chery & Wanda Guizhou Bus Co., Ltd., stated in his speech that the successful delivery of the Saudi Hajj project achieved three major breakthroughs: this is a significant milestone in the company’s development history, marking a shining moment for Guizhou manufacturing on the international stage, and it is the first mass entry of "Guizhou-made" products into the Middle Eastern market. He specifically thanked the various levels of government in Guizhou Province and Guiyang City for their comprehensive support in policy assistance, resource allocation, infrastructure construction, and talent development, creating a favorable business environment that has allowed the company to focus on technological innovation and quality improvement.

The Saudi customer representative highly praised, saying, "We sincerely thank the governments at all levels in Guiyang and Chery & Wanda for their cooperation, providing strong support for Hajj transportation security."

The Hajj buses delivered in this batch adopt an advanced full-load body structure and have been fully optimized and upgraded to suit the extreme hot climate, complex road conditions, and Muslim pilgrimage customs in Saudi Arabia. The buses feature an extended and higher design, with specially customized solutions for the chassis and engine cooling systems. The interior uses high-temperature resistant, anti-aging materials to ensure vehicle reliability under extreme conditions. The driver's area adopts a car-like human-machine engineering layout, while the passenger area is equipped with luxurious, high-back airline seats. Additionally, a dedicated onboard restroom for Muslim pilgrims is installed. The buses are equipped with high-efficiency air conditioning and an intelligent multimedia system, providing excellent comfort and functionality to meet the high-end travel needs of global pilgrims.

The successful landing of this international order holds multiple meanings: not only has it opened up a new international market for "Guizhou manufacturing," enhancing the global influence of Guizhou products, but it has also significantly boosted the development momentum of Guizhou's export industry. As a benchmark enterprise in Guizhou’s manufacturing sector, Chery & Wanda Buses' journey abroad will accelerate the deep integration of Guizhou manufacturing with international markets, attracting more international capital and industrial attention, promoting the coordinated development of the upstream and downstream industrial chains, and injecting new vitality into the high-quality development of Guizhou's economy.

Looking to the future, Chery & Wanda will take this export as an opportunity to continue deepening its innovation-driven development strategy, increasing investment in research and development, comprehensively improving product quality and service levels, and actively exploring broader international markets. The company will continue to play a leading role in setting an example, actively respond to government calls, leverage its advantages, and contribute to the high-quality development of Guizhou's export industry!
