The morning sun shone on the streets of Gulistan city, and residents were pleasantly surprised to find a batch of brand new light green buses quietly entering the station. The streamlined body is printed with Chinese and Ukrainian characters, which are particularly eye-catching in the sunlight. For many citizens who rely on public transportation for daily travel, this not only means a more comfortable riding experience, but also represents a green renewal of public transportation in this ancient Silk Road city. And all of this began with a group of urban partners who came all the way from China.

The President personally visited the scene and praised the new achievements of China Ukraine cooperation

A special delivery ceremony in Gulistan, Syr Darya Oblast, Uzbekistan has attracted attention. Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev personally visited the scene and carefully inspected 52 ZK6890HGQ natural gas buses manufactured and delivered by China Yutong Bus. After listening to the report on vehicle delivery and operation plans, the President provided specific guidance on the development of urban public transportation, fully affirming the value of these vehicles in improving local service levels. The President's visit highlights Uzbekistan's emphasis on upgrading its urban public transportation system and reflects a high recognition of the quality of Chinese manufacturing and the achievements of China Uzbekistan cooperation.

Covering 23 communities throughout the city, residents' travel speeds up significantly

It is reported that these new cars will be fully deployed on 7 urban routes in Gulistan, achieving full coverage of 23 communities throughout the city. The operator expects that after the new car is put into use, the bus departure interval will be significantly reduced by more than half, providing more stable and efficient travel services for about 29000 residents per day. For commuters, students, and elderly residents along the route, reduced waiting time and improved cabin environment mean a substantial improvement in daily commuting experience. A local commuter said, "The new car is quiet, stable, and has facilities specifically designed for people with limited mobility. I feel that the traffic rhythm in the whole city has become more friendly

Green technology integrated into design, Chinese manufacturing helps upgrade environmental protection

The buses delivered this time not only focus on efficiency, but also put great effort into environmental protection and humanization. All vehicles are powered by natural gas, and their exhaust emissions comply with strict Euro-5 standards, which can significantly reduce pollutant and noise emissions and help improve the urban air quality in Gulistan. At the same time, all vehicles adopt a low entrance structure, equipped with accessible ramps and dedicated seats, making it convenient for the elderly, wheelchair users, and other groups to get on and off. These details demonstrate that Chinese bus manufacturing companies not only export products, but also convey the concept of green and inclusive travel. Under the the Belt and Road cooperation framework, Made in China is deeply involved in the process of urban sustainable development in countries along the Belt and Road with scientific and technological strength and human care.
