A delegation from Laos visited the Guiyang Economic and Technological Development Zone (GETDZ) on Sept 14 for exchanges and investigations. The delegation aimed to strengthen cooperation in the field of new energy vehicles and explore new opportunities for collaboration.
The Laos delegation first visited Chery & Wanda Guizhou Bus Co, where they observed the company's advanced production lines, rigorous quality control systems, and vehicle construction and performance.
The delegation praised the company's research and development strength and market competitiveness in the new energy bus sector, expressing a willingness to enhance cooperation in technology research and market expansion.
In October 2023, Laos signed a contract with Chery & Wanda Guizhou Bus Co to purchase 55 electric buses, with deliveries expected to start mid-October this year. This marked the beginning of cooperation and showcased the company's presence in the international market.
The delegation also visited Guizhou Zhonghui Heavy Industry Co, where they engaged in discussions and toured the facilities. The delegation appreciated Zhonghui's research in new energy sightseeing bus technology and lightweight vehicle development and expressed hopes for increased collaboration in technology exchange, talent development, and enhancing the competitiveness of the new energy industry.
The visit has deepened exchanges and cooperation in relevant fields, providing valuable opportunities for GETDZ companies to expand into international markets. It is hoped that this visit will catalyze deeper understanding, friendship, expanded cooperation, and the opening of a new chapter in bilateral collaboration.
