Ministry of Education, Lenovo, and Yutong reached a school bus safety cooperation

On May 31st, the Education Equipment Research and Development Center of the Ministry of Education, Lenovo Group and Zhengzhou Yutong Bus Co., Ltd. signed the Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement on the Research of School Bus Safety Operation Information System in Beijing. They will jointly carry out the study and establishment of the information system standards for the safe operation of school buses. The school bus safely operates a dynamic information management platform to explore a school bus supervision system that is in line with China's national conditions and fully guarantees the safe, standardized, and efficient operation of school buses. Liu Shihai, deputy director of the Education Equipment Research and Development Center of the Ministry of Education, Li Xianglin, vice president of Lenovo Group, and Niu Bo, general manager of Zhengzhou Yutong Bus Co., Ltd. attended the signing ceremony.

School bus safety has always been the focus of attention from all walks of life. It requires the coordinated efforts of government regulators, equipment manufacturers, operating units and schools. The safety of school buses relies on the safety during the operation of school buses. However, the current certification management of school buses, school bus drivers, vehicle attendants and school bus operators cannot completely solve the safety problems in the operation of school buses. With the rapid growth of the market demand for school buses and the number of school buses that have been put into operation, it is necessary and urgent to strengthen the information management of the safe operation of school buses.

As the theoretical, policy research and technological development unit of educational equipment, the Education Equipment Research and Development Center of the Ministry of Education is responsible for the education equipment standardization, quality inspection, consultation, and inspection, and provides technical support for the development of education. Lenovo is a global leading technology company with extensive experience in information technology, IT management and operation and maintenance services. As the first brand of China school bus, Yutong has mastered the core technology and car networking technology of the vehicle. The strategic cooperation of the three parties can give full play to their respective advantages and resources, fill the gaps in the supervision of school bus operations in China, and systematically solve the problem of school bus safety management.

Liu Shihai, deputy director of the Education Equipment Research and Development Center of the Ministry of Education, stated at the signing ceremony that the Education Equipment Research and Development Center of the Ministry of Education is committed to promoting the development of the educational equipment industry and providing technical support for the development of education. The strategic cooperation between Lenovo and Yutong to achieve the school bus safety operation information system is an important action to implement the “Regulations on School Bus Safety Management” and is also a powerful measure to guarantee the safe operation of school buses and safe travel of students.

Li Xianglin, vice president of Lenovo Group, said that as a leading global technology company, Lenovo has strong technical strength, rich experience in IT management services and a strong service delivery capability. Currently, Lenovo has established a large-scale IT desktop operation and maintenance outsourcing system, and is currently deploying various industrial solutions such as enterprise data center construction, virtualization, and business mobility integration management. Under the guidance of the Education Equipment Research and Development Center of the Ministry of Education, Lenovo will give full play to its own technology and service capabilities, and make contributions to the advancement of school bus safety information management and student safety.

Yu Bo, general manager of Yutong Bus, said that as the earliest practitioner of the school bus specialization process in China, Yutong continued to pay attention to education and attention to school bus safety, and through its continuous efforts, it has created multiple "firsts" in the history of school bus development in China. In this cooperation, Yutong will use the guidance of the Education Equipment Research and Development Center of the Ministry of Education to give full play to the technical advantages of the vehicle plant, share the experience of school bus networking, and continue to contribute to the safety of school buses and student safety.

In the future, the Education Equipment Research and Development Center of the Ministry of Education and Lenovo and Yutong will work closely together to conduct research on the technical standards, service standards, and management systems of the school bus safety operation information, based on technology and service standards, and on the basis of school bus safety operations. The collection platform is the starting point for the exploration of a complete school bus safety supervision system, which ultimately ensures the safe operation of the school bus and protects students' happy growth.
