In recent years, China's modern ←σtram market has been heating u≥Ω≤αp, and low-floor vehicles, which σ÷✘are the core part of modern ♠₩tram systems, have gained ✘♣•great attention from the market a₹∞→nd the industry. Agains¥ >t the background of C₽λ™hina's localisatioλ¥♦n policy, the world's major tram suγ‌®$ppliers such as Bomba ↕&♠rdier, Alstom, Siemens, C§•≥AF, Vossloh, Ansaldo, Stadler, Inekon, £¶etc. have found it difficuε₩≥lt to obtain orders σ‍↕from the Chinese market directly. ♣ λStadler/ABB (Stadler/ABB), Ineko±‌n, etc. It is difficu©≥>™lt for them to get di↓♠∏→rect orders from the Chinese mφ↑≠♣arket. On the other hand, domestic com$↕Ωpanies such as China CNR, CSR and Cheng​₽‌ du Xinzhu Corporation have ÷∑♣manufactured modern trams ✔ in China through independent R&am±&p;D, buying out intellectual propeα' ≥rty rights and co-oper‌↔¶ative R&D respectively, and have₩&™≥ been actively exploring the modernππ‍₩ tram market in China ∏βand even globally.
