Irbid, Sept. 29 (Petra) -- Head of the Greater Irbid Municipality Committee Imad Al-Azzam discussed with a delegation from China's Yutong Bus Company avenues of cooperation, investment opportunities in the city, and the possibility of benefiting from the company's expertise in electric bus manufacturing.

During the meeting, Al-Azzam stressed the Greater Irbid Municipality's need to implement an advanced urban transport project that would facilitate residents' movement between the city's districts, noting that the municipality has a clear plan for the project but that its implementation requires securing the necessary funding.

He explained that the municipality's orientation toward clean energy makes electric buses a fundamental option in any future urban transport project in the city.

For its part, the Chinese delegation noted that the company's buses are among the best-selling in the Middle East, particularly in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, pointing to the company's contract with the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) to supply several buses for the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project.

The company delegation's visit to Irbid follows Al-Azzam's visit to Yutong's main factory in the Chinese city of Zhengzhou during his recent trip to the People's Republic of China.
