The recently concluded Sochi Winter Olympics was unforgettable, and Chinese athletes achieved remarkable results in this edition of the Games. While we share the spectacular skills displayed by the Olympic athletes on the field, we also see Chinese manufacturing shining in various aspects of the Sochi Winter Olympics off the field. When mentioning the owners of this honor and brilliance, we cannot help but turn our attention to the China Zhongtong Bus, which shuttles between different competition venues. This is also Zhongtong Bus's first performance in serving major international events since 2014. The all-white body of the bus blends harmoniously with the theme colors of the Winter Olympics, adding a unique touch to the Games.

The recently concluded Sochi Winter Olympics were unforgettable, and Chinese athletes achieved remarkable results at this year's Winter Olympics. While we share the spectacular skills displayed by the Olympic athletes on the field, Chinese manufacturing also shone brightly in various aspects of the Sochi Winter Olympics. When mentioning the owners of this honor and brilliance, we cannot help but turn our attention to the China Zhongtong Bus, which provided shuttle services across different competition venues. This was also Zhongtong Bus's first showcase of service for major international events in 2014. The all-white body of the bus blended harmoniously with the theme colors of the Winter Olympics, adding a unique flavor to the event.

Serving Sochi, Zhongtong receives praise from all sectors.

Due to the hosting of the Winter Olympics, Sochi not only welcomed athletes from around the world but also attracted tourists from all over to watch the Olympic events live. It was in this special occasion that Zhongtong Bus held a unique meeting with audiences and athletes from various countries, with the praises of "Made in China" echoing everywhere.

According to reports, a total of 20 Zhongtong LCK6127H buses served the events at the Sochi Winter Olympics, mainly responsible for transporting athletes, coaches, and referees between the competition venues and their accommodations, as well as shuttling different groups of spectators. Due to varying competition times and venues, each bus was always on standby to ensure timely, accurate, and error-free transportation. Throughout the 17 days of competition, the 20 Zhongtong buses provided smooth service on the front lines. When local Chinese and tourists, as well as international students, learned that 20 of the service vehicles were Chinese-made buses, they were all excited, expressing that "to witness the elegance of Chinese-made buses in Sochi is a great fortune in life. At the Sochi Winter Olympics, not only did Chinese athletes bring glory to the country, but Zhongtong Bus also made the name of Chinese manufacturing resound."

Of course, the most qualified to speak about Zhongtong Bus are the drivers who interact with them daily. A senior driver with many years of experience commented after driving a Zhongtong bus: "Since I became a driver, I have always driven European brand buses. Now, after driving a Chinese-made bus, I can say that it is truly impressive, including some performance and comfort aspects that even surpass some European brands, which I greatly admire."

Moreover, Chinese Olympic athletes, sacrificing their rest time, came to visit the Zhongtong buses, carefully inspecting both inside and outside, and took photos in front of the buses, feeling proud to see Chinese-made buses serving the events in a foreign land.

Zhongtong Bus builds the reputation of 'Made in China' with strength.

A few years ago, when mentioning 'Made in China' abroad, many people would associate it with low-priced, low-end products. However, with the improvement of China's manufacturing level, the impression of Chinese manufacturing overseas has gradually turned positive. The Zhongtong buses serving the events in Sochi have significantly changed Europeans' prejudices against Chinese manufacturing. It is reported that the 20 Zhongtong LCK6127H buses were specially designed for the Russian market, and each bus passed rigorous inspections by relevant Russian authorities, with no margin for error in any detail. After multiple strict assessments and certifications, Zhongtong Bus successfully served the Sochi Winter Olympics for the first time in 2014 after entering the Russian market.

Zhongtong Bus is also proving itself to the overseas market with its strength. The Zhongtong LCK6958H passed all certification tests required by the EU ECE and Russian GOSTR in 2013. GOST certification is a mandatory safety certification for market access, regarded as a passport for manufacturers to enter the Russian and CIS markets. This step-by-step advancement has broken down technical barriers for Zhongtong products, clearing one obstacle after another, further enhancing the reputation of Chinese manufacturing.
