    CRRC Times Electric Vehicle and Guangzhou Locomotive are leading manufacturing companies of green intelligent transportation equipment under CRRC. Since the official settlement of CRRC Guangzhou New Energy Vehicle Production Base in Huadu District in 2018, it has actively followed the trend to develop electric powered, network-based, intelligent and share-oriented public transport products. In as short as two year, the company has won high recognition in the market with high-quality products and considerate services and has become an important new energy R&D and manufacturing base in South China. By now, more than 1,700 CRRC pure electric new energy buses have been delivered to Guangzhou public transportation system, and are making positive contributions to building a convenient, safe, shared and green bus system in city and the province. Guangzhou Public Transport is the most powerful bus company in Guangdong Province. The delivery of the first of CRRC's 18-meter large-capacity, pure electric, high-end BRT city buses to Guangzhou Public Transport marked the market entrance of CCRC's next generation intelligent buses. The new buses have great improvement in space, power and safety aspects. Their ultra-long bodies can wind gracefully like a dragon; their humanized design is as good as that of the high-speed rail-level, allowing passengers to fully enjoy spacious and comfortable mobility; their on-board Yunzhitong intelligent management platform can monitor the status of vehicles and drivers in real time to ensure safe and efficient operation. All these make them veritable "smart bus" in the 5G era.
