Commercial Vehicles

Commercial fleets—buses, trucks, and utility vehicles—play a central role in both decarbonisation and public-service reliability. In many markets, the challenge goes beyond selecting a suitable drivetrain—battery-electric, hydrogen, or hybrid. It requires building the energy, maintenance, and operational systems that keep vehicles fleet running under real service conditions.

Sunway works with transport authorities, operators, and industrial users by connecting them with China-based vehicle manufacturers and subsystem providers across propulsion, storage, and fleet-operations technology. We focus on converting local route profiles, depot constraints, and regulatory requirements into practical procurement plans and phased deployment pathways.

With extensive exposure to China’s NEV supply chain, we understand the difference between catalogue specifications and proven industrial readiness—particularly for high-demand assets such as fuel-cell buses, hydrogen storage systems, refuelling hardware, and high-voltage systems. This helps stakeholders select solutions that can meet safety expectations and lifecycle cost targets under public scrutiny.

Execution typically follows a staged approach: early corridor or depot pilots, disciplined maintenance routines, and operational data that informs scaling decisions. Local partners can take ownership of daily operations and stakeholder coordination, while manufacturing and subsystem partners support commissioning, training, and ongoing improvements as fleets transition from trial runs to stable, long-term service.

For Middle Eastern markets exploring to develop hydrogen-powered bus corridors aimed at decarbonising core routes while improving service reliability. Key constraints often include high temperatures, long daily mileage, and the need to introduce refuelling capacity without disrupting existing depot workflows.

Sunway can support by aligning fuel-cell bus specifications with refuelling-station design, hydrogen-supply planning, and maintenance requirements. Typical components of the rollout include phased station commissioning, operator training, spare-parts planning, and a data layer that monitors uptime and performance under real operating conditions.

As the pilot stabilises, the programme can expand route by route, with local stakeholders managing depot operations and public coordination, while vehicle and subsystem partners provide ongoing refinements and technical support to maintain consistent service levels.
