Gemilang Coachwork has partnered with Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU) to hold a Bus Design Competition to mark Gemilang's 30th anniversary. The competition, with the theme "City Bus", aimed to encourage more talents to showcase their creativity in bus design as buses are one of the most commonly used modes of transport in Malaysia and around the world.
The participants had to come up with a conceptual bus design. The judging criteria included both the interior and exterior aspects of the design as well as functionality, practicality and safety. Students had six months to prepare for the research reports, sketches and final presentation.
The students from the Faculty of Engineering at Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU) took first and third place in Gemilang Coachwork's 2019 Bus Design Competition.
