On July 13, 2024, Saudi Arabia Makkah Transportation Company, QAID Group, shared their procurement journey with Chinabuses.org as one of the thousands of procurement members. Since 2013, QAID Group has embarked on a journey of deep cooperation with China bus manufacturers. They have successively purchased 70 Higer buses (KLQ6129G) equipped with Cummins C260.20 engines and another 50 units of the same brand but equipped with Cummins L300.20 engines. To further enhance the composition of their fleet, they also introduced 50 units of 10.5-meter-long Zhongtong labor buses and 10 units of the same length Foton labor buses.
In the subsequent years, QAID Group continued to expand its procurement scale of China buses, demonstrating their strong trust in China bus brands. They purchased 60 units of Higer buses (KLQ6122B and KLQ6125B) and an additional 101 units of KLQ6122B, further strengthening their fleet. Between 2018 and 2019, they made a significant purchase of 300 units of Zhongtong LCK6120HQD buses, showcasing their ambition in the China bus market. In 2018, 200 King Long buses joined their fleet, and in 2019, they added another 300 units of Asiastar buses. By 2020, they had purchased another 200 units of Higer buses, which undoubtedly proved their deep trust in China bus brands once again.
All the bus brands chosen by QAID Group were recommended by Chinabuses.org, reflecting the trust placed by overseas users in the recommendation of excellent China bus brands and greatly reducing their concerns.
QAID Group has given high praise to China buses and also put forward valuable expectations. They believe that China buses have innovative and unique model designs, and their after-sales service has significantly improved in recent years, providing them with strong support. However, they also frankly pointed out deficiencies in the quality of vehicle completion, believing that quality control still needs to be further strengthened. Additionally, they mentioned that there are some errors in the parts catalog, and the precision of drawings also needs to be improved.
In recent years, QAID Group has shown increasing interest and favor for China buses. Through bulk purchases of China-made buses, they have further consolidated their cooperation with China and provided strong support for the development of China buses in the international market.
By 2023, QAID Group had further expanded its procurement scale, demonstrating their ambition in the China bus market. They purchased 123 units of King Long buses (XMQ6127AY) equipped with ZF AMT TraXon automatic transmissions for their Northwest Bus Company, along with various other configurations of King Long and Higer buses, totaling several hundred vehicles. This move undoubtedly proved their deep trust and firm support for China bus brands once again.
Entering 2024, QAID Group's enthusiasm for procurement remained unabated. They purchased a large number of China buses, including Higer buses (KLQ6122B), Asiastar buses (YBL6128HQP2), and city buses (JS6128GH), totaling over one thousand vehicles, for their another brother company, Rawaf Minah. At the same time, they also purchased 150 units of Zhongtong labor buses (LCK6103GS) for the Advanced Automobile Company. This series of procurement actions not only demonstrates their strong purchasing power in the China bus market but also provides strong support for the further development of Chinabuses in Saudi Arabia and even the entire Middle East market.
Regarding the operation of these China buses, QAID Group stated that so far, the operation has been good, but there are also some areas that need improvement. They pointed out that factories and agents still need to strengthen training and after-sales support, especially the lack of classroom training and on-site training for drivers, which has led to some premature issues. However, they also acknowledged that the after-sales service support from China bus factories has improved and hoped that there would be more Muslim technicians in the future to adapt to their special operating environment in Makkah and Medina.
Overall, QAID Group expressed high satisfaction with China bus products. They believe that China buses excel in terms of cost-effectiveness, quality, and after-sales service, which are important reasons why they choose to continue working with their Chinese partners. In the future, with the continuous deepening and expansion of cooperation between the two parties, it is believed that China buses will shine even more brightly in the Saudi market and beyond.
