Gold Dragon Ships 155 Buses to Kuwait

Golden Dragon Buses Make Major Strides in Middle East Market for 2025

Record-Breaking Export Order to Kuwait

In a significant achievement for China's automotive exports, Golden Dragon (King Long) has shipped 155 buses to Kuwait from Xiamen Port, marking the largest single order in Kuwait's 2025 public transportation procurement cycle. Among these, 100 specially configured Golden Dragon Grandeur coaches will serve Kuwait's healthcare system, providing comfortable staff transportation for medical professionals.

Engineering Excellence Meets Customization

The exported buses feature full monocoque body construction with spacious interiors and ergonomic seating arrangements. Compared to existing local models, these vehicles demonstrate 35% improvement in noise reduction, 40% better cooling efficiency, and superior shock absorption - all achieved through Golden Dragon's proprietary manufacturing processes and client-specific customization.

Extreme Climate Adaptation

Engineered specifically for Kuwait's harsh desert conditions (where summer temperatures regularly exceed 50°C), these buses incorporate:

  • High-capacity AC compressors and condensers that can cool cabin temperatures from 55°C to comfort range within 30 minutes
  • Reinforced cooling systems maintaining stable performance during 8+ hours continuous operation
  • Special dust-proof air filtration systems for sandstorm protection
According to Guo Weiqi, Golden Dragon's Middle East Sales Manager, field tests confirmed the vehicles outperform all regional competitors in thermal management.

Market Expansion Strategy

This shipment increases Golden Dragon's operational fleet in Kuwait to over 1,000 units. The company plans additional R&D investments for Middle East markets, focusing on:

  • High-temperature resistant models for public transit
  • Dust-proof configurations for tour operators
  • Custom solutions supporting Belt & Road infrastructure projects

New Energy Vehicle Leadership

Beyond conventional buses, Golden Dragon exported 1,400 new energy vehicles in 2024 as part of its 8,592 total exports worth $420 million, maintaining its position as China's second-largest bus exporter. Their electric vehicle solutions are now operational across multiple international markets.

Technological Innovation

The company recently won two Fujian Province Science & Technology Awards for advancements in:

  • Autonomous driving systems (with 500+ self-driving buses sold)
  • Intelligent transportation solutions
These innovations position Golden Dragon as a leader in smart public mobility solutions.
