A fleet of 80 Golden Dragon battery-electric buses has officially entered service in Sweden, following factory inspection and acceptance procedures at the manufacturer’s Longhai plant.

Eurobus Nordic – Golden Dragon for Sweden

According to ChinaBuses, representatives of Eurobus Nordic and Swedish customers attended the on-site inspections before shipment, completing standard acceptance procedures and confirming vehicle readiness for operation. The buses, designed for urban use, are part of Golden Dragon’s ongoing expansion in Scandinavian markets, where several models have already been delivered in previous years.

The vehicles have been adapted for cold-climate operation, featuring components and systems configured for northern environmental conditions. “This integrated system—combining high-capacity traction batteries, intelligent thermal management with heaters, heat pump technology, and diesel auxiliary heaters—ensures stable range performance even at temperatures below -20°C while maintaining passenger comfort. Leveraging years of field data, Golden Dragon also provides customized training for drivers and operators, ensuring the buses remain “reliable and durable” on winter roads and gradually establishing a new benchmark for electric mobility in the region”, Chinabuses reports.

The collaboration between Golden Dragon and Eurobus Nordic is set to evolve further. The two partners are already planning to co-develop a new generation of electric buses specifically designed for Nordic conditions, extending their cooperation beyond current city models to include intercity commuter and tourism segments.

Lasse Anderson, Chairman of Eurobus Nordic—Golden Dragon’s core partner in Northern Europe, states: “Eurobus Nordic and Golden Dragon have collaborated for many years, continuously refining every product detail to develop an electric bus perfectly adapted to the harsh, high-latitude climate of the Nordic region”.
