Higer buses and commercial vehicles

Higer Bus Company Limited is a prominent Chinese automotive manufacturer specializing in the production of buses, coaches, and light commercial vehicles. Established in December 1998 in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, Higer has rapidly grown to become one of China's largest bus exporters. The brand's manufacturing hub is centered in the Suzhou Industrial Park, a massive facility that serves as the primary base for its global operations. Beyond its main Chinese plants, Higer has expanded its production footprint through CKD (Completely Knocked Down) assembly projects in countries like Kazakhstan and partnerships for chassis assembly in Israel.

The brand's ownership is tied to the King Long Group, one of the world's most significant bus manufacturing conglomerates. Specifically, Higer is the primary brand of Jinlong United Automobile Industry (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., which is a major subsidiary of Xiamen King Long Motor Group. Over the years, Higer has gained international prestige through high-profile collaborations, most notably with the Swedish manufacturer Scania, to produce luxury coaches for the global market. As of the mid-2020s, Higer continues to lead in the development of new-energy vehicles, focusing on electric and hybrid bus technologies to meet global sustainability standards.
