Hager Bus: Realizing the First Crossing of the World's First Cross-Sea Bridge
On May 1st at 3:40 PM, the Hangzhou Bay Bridge—the longest sea-crossing bridge in the world—officially opened to traffic. As part of the honor guard, a team of Suzhou Jinlong high-end passenger vehicles took part in the opening ceremony, witnessing a historic moment in the integration of the Yangtze River Delta region.
The event marked a significant milestone in regional connectivity. A fleet of over 20 Suzhou-based Jinlong luxury buses, led by Scania Hager's premium commercial vehicles, crossed the bridge from Jiaxing to Ningbo, symbolizing the beginning of the bridge’s trial operation phase. The bridge, known as the "Dragon Over the Waves," is not only an engineering marvel but also a symbol of China’s technological advancement and self-reliance.
Spanning 36 kilometers, the Hangzhou Bay Bridge connects Jiaxing Haiyan in the north to Cixi’s Shuixi Bay in the south. Designed as a six-lane expressway with a speed limit of 100 km/h, it was completed in June 2007, eight months ahead of schedule. With an investment of approximately RMB 11.8 billion, the bridge was entirely built, designed, and managed by Chinese engineers. Over 250 technological innovations were developed during its construction, leading to nine major core technologies and several world-first achievements.
The bridge has dramatically reduced travel time between Shanghai and Ningbo by 120 kilometers, creating a two-hour "Golden Triangle" connecting Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Ningbo. It has also shortened distances between cities on the southern side of the Yangtze River Delta and key urban centers like Shanghai and Suzhou, promoting smoother movement of people and goods, and enhancing regional resource allocation and integration.
As a test vehicle for the bridge’s opening, the Haig Bus showcased the recognition of Suzhou Jinlong’s independent innovation and its position as a leading Chinese bus brand. With the completion of the Hangzhou Bay Bridge, Haig Bus is now well-positioned to contribute to the ongoing efforts of accelerating transportation integration across the Yangtze River Delta urban cluster.
