Bus air conditioner price is influenced by various factors, including air conditioner type, cooling capacity, brand, condition (new or used), and whether installation services are included.
Bus Air Conditioner Price by Type and Cooling Capacity
(New Vehicle Optional/Aftermarket Mainstream Prices)
This is the most crucial factor affecting price. Cooling capacity is usually measured in “kilowatts” or “kcal/hour”.
Roof-mounted Air Conditioners: Most common in intercity buses and tour buses. The system is installed on the roof, offering high cooling capacity and even airflow.
Small and medium-sized buses (e.g., 7-9 meters): Cooling capacity approximately 20-30kW, price typically between 15,000 and 30,000 RMB.
Standard buses (10-12 meters): Cooling capacity approximately 35-45kW, this is the most common specification, Bus Con price between 30,000 and 60,000 RMB. High-end brands or models with larger cooling capacities will be more expensive.
Independent Air Conditioners
Primarily used in situations where there is no engine power or long-term parking is required, such as in motorhomes, medical vehicles, or as parking air conditioners for buses. It comes with its own diesel generator or external power supply.
Because it has its own power system, it is usually more expensive than a roof-mounted Bus Con with the same cooling capacity.
Depending on the cooling capacity and brand, it generally ranges from 20,000 to 80,000 RMB.
Other factors affecting Bus Air Conditioner Price
Installation costs: If the air conditioner is purchased separately, installation is a professional and complex project, and the cost may range from several thousand to tens of thousands of RMB.
Additional features: Features such as multi-zone control, air purification, and sterilization will increase costs.
Component materials: For example, whether copper or aluminum tubing is used will also affect the price and lifespan.

Chinese manufacturers have rapidly risen to prominence by leveraging their advantages in domestic bus manufacturing; SONGZ and BUSCLIMA are typical examples.
Our advice:
First, determine the length of your bus, its intended use (continuous driving or long-term parking with cooling), and your brand and budget.
Mainstream brands offer the best value and are the most reliable choice. They provide reliable performance and comprehensive after-sales service.
Beware of excessively low prices: “Brand new” products priced far below market value are likely refurbished or counterfeit, and their quality and safety cannot be guaranteed.
