On July 15, the 2026 Australia Sydney International Bus Show (2026 Australasia Bus & Coach Expo) opened at the Sydney Olympic Park venue. The exhibition is organized by the New South Wales Bus Industry Association Bus NSW, and is the largest and most professional bus whole-industry trade event in Oceania.

Based on the high-quality development strategy, Zhongtong Bus made a strong appearance at this exhibition, gathering five classic models on three major technology routes – diesel, extended-range, and pure electric – Diesel version H12, Diesel version L7, Extended-range version H12, Extended-range version L8, Pure electric version N12, fully showcasing the global layout and high-end breakthrough of Chinese buses.

Zhongtong Bus's global exploration bears the era mark of Chinese buses, and even Chinese manufacturing, stepping onto the world stage. Since exports began in 2003, Zhongtong Bus's overseas territory has continued to expand, and its market share has steadily climbed.

According to the latest data from China Bus Statistics Information Network, in the first half of 2026, Zhongtong Bus exported 4,318 buses over 7 meters, a year-on-year increase of 23.65%, with a market share of 14.35%, demonstrating strong market resilience.

What truly allows Zhongtong Bus to stand firm in fierce competition is its "all-rounder" strength. From traditional power to extended-range hybrid, and then to pure electric, Zhongtong Bus has built a product matrix covering all technology routes, capable of providing precisely matched customized solutions based on the policy environment, climate conditions, road conditions characteristics, and operational needs of different markets.

From Singapore's narrow-body pure electric buses to Denmark's low-temperature anti-corrosion upgrades, from Dubai's first entry into high-end public transport systems to showcasing five models in Australia this time, Zhongtong Bus reads local needs first before presenting corresponding solutions. It is not standardized copying, but custom-tailored.

Behind the market breakthrough is Zhongtong Bus's long-term adherence to deep technology cultivation and forward-looking layout. As one of the first domestic enterprises to layout new energy R&D, Zhongtong Bus has continuously improved in core technology and quality control for many years, earning the pass to enter global high-end markets with solid strength.

Standing at the top bus exhibition in Oceania, facing global industry giants and Australian local operators, Zhongtong Bus not only needs to showcase products, but also needs to make clear China's smart manufacturing technical confidence and brand landscape to the world. The five boutique models exhibited this time are not only a precise response to the diversified needs of the Australian market, but also a pragmatic answer from Zhongtong serving global sustainable transportation with full-scenario solutions.

The Diesel version H12 and Diesel version L7 are two main models designed by Zhongtong Bus for high-intensity operational scenarios. The Diesel version H12 is equipped with the new generation "Golden Power Train", reducing fuel consumption by 5%～10% per 100 km compared to the industry average, balancing power and economy; The Diesel version L7 is adapted for business, tourism, group, rental and other scenarios, with a maximum climbing grade greater than 30%, powerful power, fuel-saving and efficient.

Extended-range version H12, L8, precisely anchor the dual needs of low-carbon transformation and cost reduction and efficiency increase. Targeting industry pain points such as uneven distribution of pure electric refueling facilities, limited range for long-distance operations, and high energy consumption for fuel vehicles, Zhongtong Bus relies on autonomous and controllable extended-range hybrid technology to achieve intelligent linkage of oil and electricity, energy allocation according to needs, possessing the triple advantages of ultra-long range, ultra-low energy consumption, and high adaptability, providing high cost-performance and high practicality product solutions for low-carbon transformation of passenger transportation in Australia and even globally.

Pure electric version N12 is a high-end product built by Zhongtong Bus for global traffic green intelligent transformation needs. Taking "Deep Customization" as the core, it can precisely adapt to operational scenarios of different countries. The whole vehicle is equipped with a new generation high-efficiency battery, motor, and controller system, combined with lightweight body design, lower energy consumption, more stable range, enough to support the frequent and long-term operational rhythm of urban buses. Domestically, it is the core transport capacity of urban public transport; Overseas, with the positioning of "Chinese Solutions", it deeply participates in the global traffic low-carbon revolution.

This appearance at the Sydney International Bus Show is a key step for Zhongtong Bus to perfect its global layout strategy, and also a vivid practice from "global layout" to "global deep cultivation".

In the future, Zhongtong Bus will continue to stand on a global vision, adhere to technological innovation, and deepen local adaptation, with the hard core strength of China's smart manufacturing, contributing more "Chinese Solutions" to the green upgrade and smart transformation of global public transportation.
