Grant Description

In 2019, Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi secured a grant of 100 Yutong buses from the Chinese government.

The grant includes a training course for Mozambican drivers and mechanics who will use the buses, as well as spare parts and accessories.

The buses, of the Yutong brand, can carry 90 passengers, seated and standing, and are equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The buses were handed over on June 14, 2019, marking the completion of the project.

The equipment is a part of the Mozambican governments’ “Plan 1000”, launched in May 2018, which will make it possible to meet 90% of the demand for passenger transport in the Greater Maputo Metropolitan Area, equivalent to 550,000 passengers per day, compared to the capacity of only 60,000 passengers per day in 2015.
