Fast AT Helps with Bus System Upgrade in Thailand

On May 26, buses equipped with FAST hydraulic AT are ready for departure at the headquarters of Bangkok Public Transport Company. The ceremony of putting new cars into use is grandly held. The Minister of Communication and Transportion of Thailand and other government officials of Thailand attended the ceremony.

The present administration of Thailand pays close attention to people's livelihood. In order to improve the traffic situation in Bangkok, Bangkok Public Transport Company has signed a purchase contract for 500 new vehicles on December 27, 2017, equipped with our hydraulic AT. The first batch of 150 units of AT was delivered at the end of February. After a period of using, the high quality performance of our hydraulic AT has won unanimous praise from Bangkok Public Transport Company.

The Minister highly appraised the technology and performance quality of FAST hydraulic AT. He said that the Thai government would focus on developing public transport in the next three years, speeding up the procurement progress of public transport vehicles and vigorously promoting the upgrading of Thai public transport system.

Bangkok's urban area is about 1800 square kilometers, with a population of 23 million, which is a world's famous "city of traffic jam" with a large demand for public transport. Bangkok Public Transport Company is a state-owned enterprise in Thailand. It has more than 3000 buses. Most of them are over 20 years old. The number and condition of vehicles couldn’t meet the demand, which provides a highly broad potential for our future cooperation.
