King Long Granted UK Certification

23/03/2005

Xiamen-based King Long Bus becomes China's first firm to be granted Vehicle Certification Agency or VCA certification by British authorities, a key to entering the European market. With VCA certification, King Long can now compete on level terms with buses and coaches manufactured within the EU.

The vice-president of King Long Xu Xiangdong says the company is enlarging its production capacity through heavy investment.

King Long will soon sign an agreement with its partner BIE Malta Ltd to sell buses in Britain and later hopes to enter the Italian market.
