A CHINESE auto maker has clinched a deal with a UK tour operator to provide the latter with red double-decker buses, a national symbol of Britain, for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Anhui Ankai Automobile Co Ltd signed a contract with Britain's Big Bus Tours sightseeing company at the end of last month to export 34 open-top double-decker buses, which will be used for sightseeing tours during the games, sources with the bus company said yesterday.
The deal marks the first time double-decker buses made in China will enter the UK market, where there are stricter certifications for automobiles.
Ankai's vice president Wang Xianfeng said his company has already assembled a sample bus, which has obtained approval from both Big Bus Tours and British automobile certification authorities, including the Vehicle Certification Agency and the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency.
"It is an indication that China's buses are up to the technical standards required in the EU market," Wang said.
The company received a 3,000 unit order from Saudi Arabia and a 280 unit order from Russia earlier this year.
