The Chinese Revolution: Get to know the bus sold in Israel

Bus Year: Golden Dragon became for the first time the best-selling non-European bus brand in Israel.

This emerges from the summary of sales data for 2021 in the field.

The company, which is imported to Israel by the Bellilios Group, put 522 buses on the road this year, which means that it owns a little more than 25% of the market.

Goodbye Europe, hello China?

At least when it comes to the main tool of public transportation in Israel, the answer is clear.

For the first time, a Chinese brand has become the one responsible for most bus sales in Israel.



The achievement comes after a year in which the company recorded a series of deals mainly in the areas of public transport, where the penetration of Chinese buses was more significant.

This is in contrast to the more conservative transportation industries in which European buses made by MAN, Volvo and Mercedes are still common.



Much of this success can be attributed to the entry of new public transportation operators this year (Tnufa in Samaria, Extra in Netanya) following the tenders for the operation of public transportation clusters.

These, along with of course the older companies like Nativ Express, Metropolis, Kavim and Superbus (the latter is part of the Belilius Group).

Dozens of electric buses bind

Notable deals include the one the company signed with Egged to supply an electric articulated bus in April 2021, the company will supply several dozen more electric tools to Egged in the near future following winning its equipment contract (alongside BYD and HIGER).



The Chinese bus manufacturer was established in 1992, started exporting buses in 2003 and its import to Israel marks the decade since it was started by the Bellilios Group by its car arm (Auto-Chen) which also owns the import franchise of the Chinese electric car brand AIWAYS (https: // cars.walla.co.il/item/3423978).



In the past year, the company has expanded its range of buses, some of which are assembled in Israel in partnership by the old vehicles and crates.

Among the new models are the electric articulated bus in Jerusalem that we mentioned, but also a model of an intercity electric bus, urban and interurban buses powered by natural gas and a luxurious tourist bus called the Navigator.
