China’s Yutong Bus to set up public transport plant in Sindh

BEIJING, July 15 (APP):: Yutong Bus – a large-scale modern Chinese manufacturing company specialising in bus production – has agreed to set up a public transport plant in the province of Sindh.

The plant will be set up on 15 to 18 acres of land either in Karachi or in Hyderabad.

The development took place during a meeting between Provincial Minister for Transport Sharjeel Inam Memon and Paul Zhang, Country Manager of Yutong Bus China. Zhang was also accompanied by Service Head Yutong Wayner Wang, China Economic Net (CEN) reported.

“The meeting agreed to prepare a concrete proposal in this regard by next week,” according to a statement, adding that “the plant will be set up on 15 to 18 acres of land”.

“The transport department is making every effort to attract foreign investors to set up a public transport plant in Sindh”, according to the provincial minister.
