Grant Description
On July 26, 2011, the Chinese Government pledged to donate 100 buses and 50 garbage trucks to the Government of Guinea. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce financed this project with a grant of an unknown value.
On December 23, 2011, the Chinese Ambassador, Zhao Lixing, and Guinean President Alpha Conde attended a handover ceremony for this donation. The vehicles were used by Guinea's state-owned transportation company, SOTRAGUI.
The buses (type XMQ6106G) were manufactured by King Long Automotive of China and arrived in Conakry in late November 2011.
To ensure the normal operation of the vehicles, King Long Automotive specially arranged two after-sales service engineers and a French translator to work with local operators in Guinea. The producer of the trucks was FAW Group. This project aimed to improve public transportation and health conditions in Conakry.
The 100 buses went into operation on March 1, 2012.
