The Chinese company Lanzhou Guangdong New Energy Automobile (LGNEA), which produces electric and innovative vehicles, wants to cooperate with Ikarbus in designing and manufacturing buses – said Gao Chao, LGNEA’s representative.
“Ikarbus is a remarkable European company and will be able to make three prototypes of innovative vehicles in 2019”, Gao said at the Third International Conference called “The Belt and Road Initiative in the Balkans”, organized by the Belgrade Strategic Dialogue.
He also said that China would invest substantial amount of money in the development of autonomous vehicles in 2019 and that electric vehicle projects are currently under development.
“As for Serbia, our impressions are very positive. Your country has rich resources. Also, it’s a safe and stable Balkan country, with a good geographic position. These are the key reasons why we are investing in Serbia”, he added.

The LGNEA representative went on to say that the company has come to Serbia because it believes that the Serbian market needs electric vehicles.
“There’s a great potential for the development of this kind of industry in your country and I believe that this is the key to Serbia’s development. I want to thank the Serbian government for the support we’ve been given”, Gao Chao added.
A memorandum of understanding was signed between this large Chinese company and the Ministry of Economy at the Government of Serbia earlier this year.
The aim of the memorandum is rehabilitation of Ikarbus and forging a strategic partnership with LGNEA with the view of promoting, developing and modernizing the vehicle ndustry and the production of buses and electric buses in Serbia.
