GTK has completed delivery of its custom-built battery-electric city buses to Uruguay, marking the company’s maiden foray into Uruguay’s market for electric buses and injecting fresh momentum into China-Uruguay cooperation on green transport.
Tailored for Uruguay’s road conditions and public-transport requirements, the delivered 11.2-m buses represent a mainstream size for urban commuter services. Fitted with 32 comfortable seats, the buses are powered by high-performance central-drive motors that deliver smooth power output and outstanding energy efficiency. Featuring a user-friendly low-entry layout to facilitate boarding and alighting and enhance passenger comfort, the buses are also equipped with multi-layer safety protection systems. Built to withstand local challenging road conditions and heavy-duty daily operations, they deliver safe and efficient urban mobility.
A specialised enterprise focused on new-energy buses, GTK specialises in research-and-development, custom manufacturing and overseas supply of new-energy passenger vehicles. It holds core technologies covering vehicle lightweighting, intelligent diagnostics and high-efficiency energy storage, earning wide recognition abroad for product quality and customised services. Following displays at local trade fairs and rigorous evaluations, the export-bound units won high acclaim from Uruguayan transport operator Tala Pando Montevideo for their low-carbon footprint, smart safety features, comfort and durability.
The shipment stands as a key milestone in GTK’s expansion across South America. Riding on Belt and Road economic and trade ties, the company has steadily expanded its global footprint in new-energy mobility, with products already supplied to markets including the Middle East and Australia. Going forward, GTK will continue refining its core new-energy vehicle technologies, upgrade its suite of custom-made overseas products, and export green, smart Chinese-manufactured transport hardware to support the global shift towards sustainable urban public transport.
