The operation of XMQ6850 in Xiamen is not its “first show”, as King Long has received the batch orders of XMQ6850 from Fuzhou, Fu’an and Putian of Fujian, Hangzhou of Zhejiang and other places. By virtue of operation performance characterized by safety, comfort, environmental protection and energy conservation, XMQ6850 gains recognition of users and passengers.
