China’s Used Bus Exports Surge in 2024: Reliable, Affordable, and Built to Last

As global demand for cost-effective and durable transportation solutions rises, China has emerged as the leading supplier of high-quality used buses, with exports reaching record levels in 2024. Among the most sought-after vehicles are pre-owned passenger buses, city transit coaches, and intercity touring models from top Chinese manufacturers such as Yutong, King Long, and Zhongtong. These vehicles are now powering public and private transport networks across Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America—regions where budget-conscious operators seek maximum value without compromising on safety or performance.

China’s used bus export volume hit 42 million units in 2024, a 7.8% year-on-year increase, driven by growing infrastructure development, expanding urban populations, and rising demand for sustainable public transit. A key factor behind this growth is the rigorous reconditioning process applied to each vehicle before export. At Saycan, every bus undergoes a full mechanical overhaul, interior refurbishment, and compliance check to meet international standards. We replace worn components, upgrade electrical systems, refresh seating and flooring, and conduct thorough safety inspections—ensuring that every bus delivered is road-ready and reliable.

One of the most popular models in our 2024 inventory is the Yutong ZK6128H, a 12-meter low-floor city bus known for its fuel efficiency, smooth ride, and spacious layout. With over 300,000 kilometers of proven service in China’s demanding urban environments, these buses are now being redeployed in Nairobi, Jakarta, and Lima, where transit authorities praise their durability and low maintenance costs. Similarly, the King Long XML6122J3E, a long-distance coach with air suspension and premium seating, continues to dominate the tourism and private charter markets in Central Asia and the Gulf region.

What sets Chinese used buses apart is not just their build quality, but also their adaptability. Many of our clients customize vehicles with new livery, upgraded AC systems, GPS tracking, and even wheelchair ramps to meet local regulations. This flexibility, combined with prices that are 40–60% lower than new European or North American equivalents, makes Chinese pre-owned buses an unbeatable choice for fleet operators.

Financing and logistics support have also improved, especially in BRI (Belt and Road Initiative) partner countries, where trade corridors have streamlined customs clearance and reduced delivery times. In Russia, for example, demand for Chinese used buses has surged due to favorable import conditions and strong local demand for affordable public transport. The same trend is visible in Nigeria, Pakistan, and Bolivia, where governments and private operators are turning to China to modernize aging fleets.

At Saycan, we specialize in end-to-end export solutions—sourcing, inspecting, refurbishing, and shipping buses directly from certified Chinese depots to ports worldwide. Our team ensures transparent documentation, real-time tracking, and after-sales support, giving buyers full confidence in every transaction.

Whether you’re expanding a city bus fleet, launching a tour service, or setting up a rural transport network, China’s used buses offer the perfect balance of performance, economy, and longevity.
