Changan Bus

In China bus industry, Changan Bus is thought to be the stingiest bus builder, so how would Changan make breakthrough in the bus markets? Journalist from Chinabuses.com exclusively interviewed general manager of Changan Bus, An Jianjun, after starting ceremony of Changan Bus Cup Fuel-saving Match in Baoding.

Changan Bus promotion and new product introduction activities are not as grand as other competitors in China bus industry in the past few years. So Changan really cannot afford bigger activities? In fact, as we all know that Changan Bus is mainly selling medium and minibus products, so their first priority is to reduce costs to provide the most reliable products for customers. Their costs can be saved by 10-15% by the comparatively tight finance policies, so their customers can get tangible benefits.

The considerable attitude won trusts from many customers. They secured the order for one hundred SC6100HN CNG buses from Baoding in January, and Changan exported 433 SC6910 buses to Middle East this month.
