Volvo Buses and Kwoon Chung Partner for State-of-the-Art Fleet Modernization

Hong Kong's largest non-franchised bus operator Kwoon Chung has signed a purchase agreement of 100 Volvo B8R and B13R units in total.

Kwoon Chung has reaffirmed its commitment to exceptional travel experiences by choosing the latest technologies from Volvo Buses. This strategic decision follows a thorough market evaluation, identifying Volvo chassis as the optimal choice for their innovative features that enhance operational efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and provide unparalleled passenger comfort and safety. Additionally, Volvo's professionalism and commitment in parts supply and after-sales services are vital for Kwoon Chung's exceptionally demanding operations. This collaboration, the first in over a decade between these industry leaders, highlights their shared commitment to innovation and excellence in public transportation.

 

“We are thrilled to renew our partnership with Volvo Buses,” said Mr. Rex Wong, Director of Engineering at Kwoon Chung Bus Holdings Limited. “As a leader in the transportation sector, we must maintain a fleet that not only meets but exceeds our passengers' expectations. With the integration of the B8R and B13R chassis into our operations, we are confident in delivering superior, safe, and modern transport services with optimal cost-effectiveness.”

 

“We are delighted to renew our partnership with Kwoon Chung after a significant interval,” said Emmanuel Jupet, Managing Director of Volvo Bus Hong Kong. “This collaboration underscores the trust Kwoon Chung places in our brand and team and highlights our commitment to delivering high-quality vehicles that address the evolving needs of the transport sector. We are confident that this partnership will not only modernize Kwoon Chung’s fleet but also set a new standard for other operators in the region, showcasing Volvo as the premier choice for safety, reliability, and excellence.”

 

Both companies are looking forward to building a long-lasting relationship that will drive innovation, enhance passenger experiences, and solidify their positions as leaders in the public transportation sector.
