China’s Show of Strength in Electric Buses at Busworld Europe
On October 4, 2025, at 9:30 AM, the much-anticipated Busworld Europe exhibition opened its doors in Brussels, Belgium. Among the many participants, HIGER, a prominent Chinese bus manufacturer, introduced its latest series of electric buses known as the ‘V’ series. This event was not merely an introduction of new vehicles; it was a powerful statement showcasing China’s growth and innovation in the electric bus sector, garnering attention from clients, leading media outlets, and industry experts from over 20 countries.
During the launch, Leo Zheng, the Executive Vice President of HIGER, highlighted the core values and outstanding features of the new ‘V’ series. The intelligent cabin design provides significant benefits for operators, enhancing comfort for both drivers and passengers. The creation of the ‘V’ series was based on extensive research conducted over three years, where technical experts from HIGER spent ample time studying advanced markets. This thorough approach has resulted in the seamless integration of innovations such as 3D modular design, advanced manufacturing technology, and domain control systems.
The ‘V’ series includes a wide range of bus types, from 8 to 14 meters, designed for various operational needs. This versatility makes it suitable for passenger transportation, tourism, long-distance travel, school buses, intercity services, and urban transport. HIGER's commitment to electrification is evident from its track record over the past four Busworld events, having been a consistent advocate for the shift toward electric vehicles in the industry.
Since the launch of its supercapacitor city bus in 2017, followed by the Azure electric bus series in 2019 and the high-tech FENCER f1 electric bus in 2023, HIGER has continuously showcased China's pioneering capabilities in research and development and manufacturing. Each advancement illustrates not only China's stature within the industry but also its pivotal role in setting new industry standards for innovation and electrification of buses globally.
HIGER's philosophy revolves around three essential principles: Value, Vector, and Vision. This foundation guides their approach to producing intelligent buses that resonate with modern needs and expectations. The collaboration between HIGER and various ecosystems is aimed at establishing industry benchmarks that transcend the buses themselves, focusing on breakthroughs in research and development.
The electric series ‘V’ positions HIGER at the forefront of the global bus market, prompting a remarkable transition in China’s intelligent manufacturing landscape. As the world witnesses the evolution of these electric buses, it becomes evident that the innovation journey encompasses collaborative ecosystems and the establishment of industry standards. Ultimately, HIGER not only aims to accelerate the pace of electrification in public transportation but also to introduce high-quality Chinese buses to the global arena.
With the launch of the ‘V’ series, HIGER reaffirms its commitment to innovation and exemplifies its potential to lead the charge in the electric bus revolution, shaping the future of transportation while enhancing operational efficiencies across multiple sectors.
