Themed with "Competition, Innovation and Sustainable Development", the forum invited government officials, insiders from electric industry, and a number of experts from a number of fields, such as science and technology internet, automobile, transportation, and spare parts.
Lian Xiaoqiang, President of King Long Group made a keynote speech at the forum. His speech is as follows:
Distinguished guests, good afternoon! First I want to thank this forum for providing us such a precious opportunity to exchange views and hold discussions for our shared concerns and challenges. As a pioneer in the new energy vehicle industry, King Long Group rolled out hybrid city bus in 2006. As of 2015, King Long's sales volume of new energy vehicles reached over 30,000 units, ranking among the top tier enterprises in the industry. In 2015 in particular, the sales of our new energy buses soared by 500% year on year. Despite our achievements, we are well aware of a host of challenges lying in front of us. The explosive growth of our new energy sector can be chiefly attributed to the government's supports and financial subsidies. Our biggest concern is how to achieve sustainable development without government's favorable policies.
To meet the challenges, we feel it is urgent for us to seek growth through joint efforts and closer cooperation. As is known to all, King Long, Golden Dragon and Higer are three key brands owned by King Long Group. Apart from pooling the strengths of three companies, we have set up strategic cooperation with a number of first class spare parts suppliers in the whole world, such as Bao Steel, Fast, and Times New Energy. While improving the overall product design capacity, we have been making all efforts to reduce production costs and improve the quality of our bus products. Moreover, we also managed to cut costs by increase the percentage of spare products that are independently made by ourselves.
With the whole bus products as our core business, we aim at building a more integrated and optimized new energy vehicle industrial chain and effectively reduce the costs.
We have made a number of attempts to provide more viable vehicle recharging solutions. With Qingdao TELD Company, we have established King Long TELD Company, which is specialized in providing recharging post services. Thus, where King Long buses are put into operation, our recharging posts can be seen there.
In addition, a number of value-added services are available for our customers, such as improving vehicles' safety standards, enhancing the overall economy and increasing customers' satisfaction.
Higer's Green Manager Electric Bus Purchase Solutions provide trouble-free purchases, operation, services, and all-around services to successfully solve all problems that might occur during the marketization of electric buses. King Long Eco-Chip New Energy Control System makes new energy buses more intelligent and more efficient.
Through our continuous hard work in over a decade, our bus products have already achieved high maneuverability, high reliability, high comfort level, high safety standards, high fuel economy. With our highly reliable products and competitive technologies, King Long bus products have made their way to a number of countries and regions, such as Spain, Netherlands, Bulgaria, Taiwan.
We have also made Three Guarantees to our customers. First, we guarantee the safety and reliability of our bus products. Second, we guarantee the high quality of our spare parts, especially the batteries of our buses. Third, we guarantee the overall solutions, including the recharging platform and monitoring services.
As for the future of new energy buses, we plan to focus on developing electric drivelines. Also we will continue our research and development of hybrid technologies and promote the application of fuel-cell buses. We hope to revolutionize the new energy vehicle industry by providing electrically powered chassis, lighter bus bodies, and more intelligent control systems. Within five years, we aim to increase the percentage of those new energy buses with electrically powered chassis, lighter bodies and more intelligent control systems to 60%-80%.
