THE SEC0ND VIETNAMESE MADE BUSES WILL SOON HIT THE ROAD IN THE PHILIPPINES.

KIM LONG MOTOR SIGNS AGREEMENT TO SUPPLY 100 KIMLONG 99 BUSES TO NEXUS STAR CORP FOR THE PHILIPPINE MARKET

On the afternoon of December 11, 2025, at the KIM LONG MOTOR Hue production and assembly plant, KIM LONG MOTOR Hue Joint Stock Company and NEXUS STAR CORPORATION (Philippines) signed a contract to purchase 100 KIMLONG 99 buses for passenger transportation in the Philippines. This is the first export order of KIM LONG MOTOR to this market, marking an important milestone in the journey of bringing 'Made in Vietnam' products to the international market.

Before entering the Philippine market, KIM LONG MOTOR had successfully exported several batches of buses to South Korea and Thailand, markets with high requirements for quality, safety, and performance. The presence in these markets has created a solid foundation for KIM LONG MOTOR to continue implementing plans to enter the Middle East region and other countries in the future, affirming the position of Vietnamese commercial vehicles on the regional map.

According to the agreement, KIM LONG MOTOR will supply the flagship KIMLONG 99 model, including two versions: seated and sleeper. The seated version features a modern design, equipped with high-end amenities, with two options: 29 seats (Limousine) and 47 seats, meeting diverse transportation needs from tourism, contracts, to inter-provincial and urban transportation. The sleeper version is developed for long-distance routes, with flexible configurations from 22 to 34 berths, ensuring comfortable space and providing a different level of experience for passengers.

The entry into the Philippine market with an order of 100 KIMLONG 99 buses continues the international journey of KIM LONG MOTOR, following the progress in Thailand and South Korea. The cooperation with NEXUS STAR CORPORATION marks a long-term strategic step, opening up new development opportunities for both parties. With a foundation of high-quality products, a modern research and production center, an experienced team of engineers, and an active spirit of international cooperation, KIM LONG MOTOR affirms its position as a leading brand in Vietnam, ready to accompany partners on the journey of expanding the global market.
