The Guangtong Dang-Dang GTQ612BEVB was shown at the Guangzhou Auto Show, and is shaped after American examples. They are all built and marketed as a normal city bus, but with tourism in mind. A few examples are already in service near a scenic area in the city of Jinan, and some are conducting trials near Tiananmen in Beijing. The tram-like bus is manufactured by Guangtong Electric Bus, a subsidiary of Guangtong Automobile, which again is owned by the Yintong Group, a large green-energy company based in Zhuhai City. 
The trolley bus will be operated in Graz, Austria. The vehicle has been developed by the Chinese company Zhejiang CRRC Electric Vehicle Co.,Ltd which is a subsidiary of CRRC ZELC. This 18m super capacitor electric bus is a second-generation vehicle which inherits new technology from CRRC ZELC. Strict European standard has been applied and the bus is certificated by European Union. 
South Korean vehicle manufacturer Hyundai Motor Company is going to start serial production of electric buses as it believes that markets for these buses are expanding very quickly. It is planning to finish developments by end of next year and release electric buses in South Korea and other countries in 2018 after going through tests.
