From Redhill in Singapore to the capital transportation system in Bogota, Colombia, Shenzhen Bus Group Co Ltd, the Shenzhen, Guangdong province-based public transportation operator, is exporting Chinese green transportation solutions to the outside world.

The company, which was among the first in China to realize full electrification, now has businesses in Germany, France, Singapore, the United Kingdom, South America, India and many other countries and regions around the world.

Shenzhen Bus realized full electrification of buses in 2017 and that of taxis in 2018. Now, the company can help save energy consumption annually equivalent to 200,000 metric tons of standard coal, cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 570,000 tons and reducing 2,309 tons of emissions of pollutants.

The company has been playing a key role in setting the global industrial criteria since it joined the UITP, and managed to promote its standards of pure electric taxi maintenance and repair, infrastructure, planning, procurement and operation to the rest of the world.

Apart from UITP, Shenzhen Bus is working with the World Bank on compiling the world's first electrification research report based on the successful cases achieved by the company to offer comprehensive electrification experience.

"COVID-19 has brought many impacts on the robust growth of EV sales in the world, and the impacts were especially significant on the Chinese and the United States markets. However, starting this year, there will be an apparent bounce of EV sales in China and Europe," BNEF China research director Kou Nannan said.

Coming from a major country for EVs, Chinese companies with mature electrification experience like Shenzhen Bus are offering consultation services to various countries and regions.

"In addition, we make efforts in low-carbon goal by strengthening research in key areas such as charging piles, intelligent bus terminals and batteries. Specifically, we aim at increasing the operational efficiency of charging piles and improving management capability at bus terminals. We also work with local governments to discuss solutions to attract passengers in green transportation," he said.

Ma said in the future, based on the Belt and Road Initiative, as well as the international situation and the development trends of the public transport industry, Shenzhen Bus will promote its green transportation solutions to more countries and regions around the world.
