How will adding more traffic decongest the same?

Each bus can replace 10 - 20 cars or 30 - 40 bikes.

Why is there an Indian-made Scania in the pic/video above?

Why images are showing a Scania bus with DC design!

It's not an Indian serially-made bus, DC or not. It's a customized one-off concept by DC in India - maybe for some Bollywood star or something. This is *not* in serial production. Dilip Chhabria's company makes custom concepts like this all the time.

And Scania buses aren't made in India from scratch. They are assembled mostly from parts assemblies, most of which are made in (you guessed it) China.

Same for Volvos as well.

By the way - I believe the real story may be here,

DHAKA: China Shanghai Technology has offered to provide four thousand modern electric buses for Dhaka city with the view to ease traffic snarl replacing the old unfit ones.

The proposal came up in a business meeting between the members of Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) and All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC) at the FBCCI auditorium in city’s Motijheel area on Thursday (April 27).

ACFIC official Hua Lee said, “At first we will provide a few buses on experimental basis. If it works, a total of four thousand buses will be provided as a package.”

FBCCI president Abdul Matlub Ahmed said the Chinese company has expressed their interest to open bus services with up-to-date facilities in a joint venture with Bangladesh.

Mentioning that a Chinese minister is visiting Bangladesh to invest for the first time, Matlub Ahmed said China companies showed interest to invest in power generation, distribution, agro and food processing sectors in Bangladesh.

A business delegation led by Chuen Jiezhu, executive vice chairman of ACFIC, participated in the business meeting where Chinese ambassador in Bnagladesh Ma Ming Chiang and FBCCI secretary general Mir Shahabuddin Mohammad among others were present.

Well, India helped them get their nation back from Gobars !! What could possibly replace that ? Market share of Indian companies in their automotive segment is competitive anyways.

It's not an Indian serially-made bus, DC or not. It's a customized one-off concept by DC in India - maybe for some Bollywood star or something. This is *not* in serial production. Dilip Chhabria's company makes custom concepts like this all the time.

Dude !! India has a good automotive industry with the likes of players such as Leyland, TATA and Mahindra playing the lead for decades.

Scania opened up its Manufacturing facility in India before it did in China so your claim that we are assembling just the semi knocked down kits from China is bogus, rather now it should be the other way around as the supply chain has started from India.

Long live the friendship between China and Pakistan!

do better .. else no payment ! Dhaka is no longer part of Pakistan since 1971!

Dhaka is in Bangladesh mate !! But yeah.... Long live the friendship

That's DC's mod job on an Indian Scania Metrolink (for intercity coach operator, Siddhivinayak Travels) whose body is 100% localised. Various state and private run corporations across the country now use single/multi-axle made-in-India coaches for their transport needs.

And Scania buses aren't made in India from scratch. They are assembled mostly from parts assemblies, most of which are made in (you guessed it) China.

Same for Volvos as well.

Obviously, not every last part is made in the country; some engine and chassis components are imported for final assembly, but then I have no information on the percentage of engine/chassis localisation. What is the source for your claim that most parts for Scania/Volvo's Indian line-up are made in china?


Anyway, it would be great if Dhaka could have a legit bus transport system because, right now, the place looks like a battered bus and rickshaw-infested war zone.

I am not going into the factual inaccuracies of your post. Just clearing the basic concept for you, the post is about China giving (or selling!) 4000 buses to Bangladesh, either these buses are Chinese buses, or China is not giving or selling them, because no matter where Scania or Volvo buses are made; the business decisions of the product is with the respective companies, none of which are Chinese.

Use of the picture of a Scania bus with DC design is misleading.

Dude!

I have no such information.

Maybe you do and enlighten us with it then.

I find it hard to believe that SCANIA India is supplying automotive components to Chinese bus plants.

China had two of the six largest producers of buses in unit terms -- Zhengzhou Yutong Bus (China), Daimler (Germany), Xiamen King Long Motor (China), Volkswagen (Germany), Marcopolo (Brazil), and Toyota (Japan) -- combined to account for two-fifths of all sales worldwide in 2013. These six bus manufacturers had 40% of the world market then.

Today Daimler is out and the top two bus manufacturers are Chinese, Yutong and KingLong. Your Mumbai city/commuter buses are Chinese too.....I don't know what brand.

Deshprem does not sell buses, they are sold on reliability and quality factors.

And of course Indian Tata/AL/Mahindra buses cannot compete with Chinese buses in Luxury segment. This has been proven many times over in past years in this very forum.

Chinese don't even need a SCANIA bus plant to make top-grade luxury coaches (unlike India). They make fine buses of equal quality on their own.

This is a King Long luxury coach.

@gslv mk3

Well, you know we are 3 decade behind Bangladesh in level of manufacturing technology (in smart manufacturing, Industrie 4.0, utilization of cobots or anything @Bilal9 can come up with), despite being world's fourth largest market for CVs. Also we should note that Bangladesh has vendors so advanced that they can manufacture components for a 1200 MWe LWR without having any previous expertise or required certifications.

it will take any other country at least three decades to catch up with us, and we have moved way upmarket already including green production facilities with eco-balanced waste disposal and smart manufacturing. Good luck competing with us.

I just love how this guy portrays his perceived, ''technological backwardness'' of India. For example, this is how he expect refrigerator manufacturing to happen in India.

I guess we should've set this one up Indian style, having three Bhangi idiots and three hammers banging on steel sheets to make refrigerators. Then you'd like us....

Of course the fact that India have press & press line manufacturers who export to likes of Thyssenkrupp, GM & Valeo never crossed his mind.

And of course Indian Tata/AL/Mahindra buses cannot compete with Chinese buses in Luxury segment. This has been proven many times over in past years in this very forum.

Chinese don't even need a SCANIA bus plant to make top-grade luxury coaches (unlike India).

Well, are you sure that Tata, world's fifth largest CV manufacturer owning an European bus body builder & having a JV with Marcopolo can't come up with good buses ?

http://www.tatahispano.com/gama-de-modelos.php?lang=en

This one is in-house design by the team at Pune. Comes in Hybrid or Fuel Cell variants, both developed indigenously (with a little help from our ghenda phool blessed space agency).

Deshprem does not sell buses, they are sold on reliability and quality factors.

Is that the reason why Tata Motors is World's fourth largest bus manufacturer?

Is that why Indian companies have a market share of 87% in your CV market ?

''The country has around 20 companies that sell around 10,000 unit buses, trucks and pick-ups a year, and the market is growing by 10-15 percent annually, according to Satyajit Saha, general manager of Rangs Motors Limited.
Of the total market share, Tata holds around 50 percent, followed by Ashok Leyland at 25 percent and Eicher 12 percent, he said.''

Same for Volvos as well.

Volvos are manufactured and exported from Bangalore- The chassis is manufactured at the adjacent plant which manufacture Volvo trucks. They now even source the Euro VI spec capable 8 liter engine from VE powertrains in Pithampur, MP. @Bombaywalla

The Volvo Group that includes trucks, buses and construction equipment is already exporting construction equipment with 20 percent of the products exported to various countries including South East Asia. Buses we started exporting two years ago to South Africa. The good news is that last year we started exporting to France in Western Europe.

Whatever growth projections we have we will be able to manage with the investments already made. In the last 2-3 years we invested Rs 300 crore and since inception have invested an overall sum of Rs 1000 crore in Bangalore in the Volvo Group. The bus division would roughly account for about 30 percent of the total.

We are ready and already producing Euro VI engines in our Pithampur plant for exporting to Volvo globally.

Interview with Kamal Bali, President and Managing Director, Volvo Group India

Volvo Buses India has recently announced the rollout of its Volvo 8400 City Bus featuring a ‘Made-in-India’ 8-litre engine. The bus is the first step towards Volvo Buses fulfilling an order for 100 units of the next generation city bus placed by the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC). Featuring a new 8-litre engine manufactured by the Volvo Group JV in Pithampur, the bus is compliant with UBS-II norms apart from BSIV emission norms.

And Scania buses aren't made in India from scratch. They are assembled mostly from parts assemblies

Scania's Metrolink luxury inter-city buses are already plying in the country since February 2013, brought in as completely built units. Local manufacture will now help reduce the cost. The company is launching buses with 100 percent localization in body material and 70 percent in overall bus value; the chassis has 30 percent local content. The company has around 50-60 vendors to supply components for the buses.
