Sunwin

Sunwin is a vehicle division of the Chinese company SAIC Motor which provides buses and trolleybuses for bus routes in Shanghai.

[5] These buses were widely introduced for the APEC China 2001 event, and became a symbol of safe, quality, environmental and aesthetic product.

These developments allowed Sunwin to design buses, which through using this chassis, were quieter, conforming to Euro II standards, more durable and being more comfortable.

[4] Based on the newly introduced B7R chassis and body designed in collaboration with Volvo, Sunwin started building CNG buses conforming to Euro III standards in the same year.

This was built with the technologies gained from constructing Volvo buses, and was intended to introduce the bus into more markets, where better products were unaffordable.

A row of Volvo B7RLE built by Sunwin. The Volvo B7RLE, along with the B6R and B7R, are examples of Volvo buses manufactured for Shanghai.
With the introduction of the SWB6116 series, which were built under the brand of Sunwin itself (instead of Volvo), the type saw purchases by many Chinese cities, such as Qingdao
After Volvo pulled out of the joint venture with SAIC, Sunwin began producing buses under its own brand only.
