China School Bus Industry Report, 2012

A series of school bus crashes in the past two years have aroused wide concern over safety. From March to April of 2012, the State Council, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the P.R.C. and the Standardization Administration of the R.R.C. issued Regulation on School Bus Safety and technical standards to regulate the funding source, operation supervision and technical norms of school buses, etc. Meanwhile, local governments also started to check and control the operation of school buses. Consenquently, the school bus industry in China will usher in a phase of standardized operation.

According to the Ministry of Education, the number of vehicles carrying students to and from school amounts to 285,000, of which 29,000 vehicles meet the standards of school bus, and the ownership of special school buses reaches only 8,300, far below than that in the developed countries such as the U.S. and Japan. The formulation of Regulation on School Bus Safety promotes local governments and schools to intensively purchase special school buses. In accordance with relevant statistics, the sales volume of school buses surged 109.91% YoY to 6,608 in 2011, and the figure even approached 8,500 in the first four months of 2012, which indicates that the school bus market rapidly picks up in China. Based on the multiple factors including the carrying ratio of primary and junior high school, and kindergarten students, the number of students and school bus passengers and crew, we estimate that the demand gap of school buses will hit 420,000 in the five years to come (2012-2016).
