About Us

Guilin Daewoo Bus Co., Ltd. was founded in 1994 as a joint venture between Guilin Bus Industrial Group and Daewoo Bus Corporation of Korea. A well-known Sino-foreign bus manufacturer in China, the company adheres to the spirit of 'pragmatic and innovative', and has grown into a national key large-scale complete-vehicle (bus) manufacturer with assets of RMB 650 million and a key Ministry-of-Transport bus enterprise.

Located at No.10 Jingping Road, Xiangshan District, Guilin, on about 182 mu of land, the company mainly produces mid-to-high-end large and medium coaches, city buses and sightseeing buses. Introducing advanced Daewoo bus technology and management, it achieved chassis self-manufacturing in 2005, evolving from an assembler into a comprehensive modern enterprise with scaled production, self-made chassis and product diversity.

The company now offers 26 series and over 90 models covering 8–12m mid-to-high-end buses for express passenger transport, city transit, tourism and group commuting, with multiple production lines (stamping, phosphating, machining, chassis, body welding, painting, trim & assembly) and an annual capacity above 5,000 complete vehicles (chassis).

Inheriting Daewoo's fuel-saving DNA and in sync with Korean headquarters technology, Guilin Daewoo masters the essence of international bus R&D. Building more efficient products on technology and practicality — Daewoo buses go farther on the same fuel.

The R&D center uses the advanced FEA system CATIA, selects quality steel and performs CAE analysis on frame strength and durability, distributing external forces reasonably to rectangular tubes for excellent damping and compression resistance, greatly improving safety.

Guilin Daewoo is the only Chinese bus maker to conduct wind-resistance tests. By testing different drag levels on front/rear/side walls, roof and underframe, it optimizes styling and reduces fuel consumption and noise.

The 'Daewoo Constant-Temperature Expert' system controls engine preheat via fans for optimal efficiency; multi-layer insulation extends engine life by ~10%, cuts noise by ~5% and saves fuel by ~6%. The E-Steward system uses connectivity to provide customers with fuel, maintenance, fault-diagnosis and parts information, making transport enterprises more competitive.

In 1994, Daewoo Bus Corporation — then a Fortune 500 company — and Guilin Bus Industrial Group jointly established Guilin Daewoo Bus Co., Ltd. At its founding, with persistent pursuit and wise decisions, it successfully introduced BH120, BH115, BM090 and other high-speed luxury coaches, which rapidly captured the expressway passenger market with economy, safety and comfort, advancing China's expressway passenger transport.

Since 2003 the company has implemented and run the internationally advanced SAP management system, tracking and controlling materials, capital, technology, manpower and equipment throughout, strictly recording each bus's full production process and effectively managing and optimizing the supply-chain.

With a provincial technical center and a city-bus R&D base, the company gathers over 100 specialists in styling, chassis, electrical, process and assembly. Full-monocoque, hybrid and clean-fuel bus technologies all carry independent intellectual property. All products pass the national 3C certification and are inspected on world-class lines with digital quality control.
