Modern Zhongtong buses hit Sri Lankan roads

Zhongtong is a familiar name in the Sri Lankan market, having already established a presence in the country over the years. Under DIMO Moveflex's stewardship, the brand is poised to deliver greater value with stronger sales and after-sales support, powered by the expertise of its parent company DIMO.

Marking a significant milestone in the brand's local journey, the launch event also featured the ceremonial handover of 17 new Zhongtong buses to customers, underscoring the immediate demand and confidence placed in the new range.

The new Zhongtong range includes models such as the L7, H8, H9, H11, H12 Single Glass, H12 Double Glass, and the New Magnate, with seating capacities ranging from 28 to 51. These models are designed to meet the needs of diverse segments in the country, including tourism operators, intercity passenger transport services, public transport authorities, private city route operators, as well as corporates, universities, and institutions requiring safe and reliable executive-level transport solutions. New models in the pipeline are expected to define public, school, and staff transportation in Sri Lanka.
