Yutong Bus: A Pioneering Year in 2024

Yutong Bus, a prominent Asian manufacturer of commercial vehicles, entered 2024 with a strong vision for international expansion and innovative technology advancements. This year proved pivotal as the company continued to elevate its global footprint while introducing cutting-edge bus technologies. Yutong achieved a remarkable milestone, selling 46,918 buses, which translates to an impressive 28.48% year-on-year revenue growth. This success highlights Yutong's strategic focus on both electrification and intelligent networking functions.

The company participated in key events across countries such as Mexico, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia, where it unveiled several new technologies. Among these were the Dual-Mode Transmission (DMT) hybrid system, the latest models in the C series bus line, and a range of advances in sustainable transport solutions, including the DMT Hybrid H10 Bus.

In 2024, Yutong further established its international presence by expanding its network, showcasing its manufacturing capabilities and research expertise, particularly in new energy technologies. A significant addition to its global strategy was the opening of a new facility in Qatar, which emphasizes the production of new energy bus units. By the end of 2024, Yutong will operate 16 localized manufacturing plants around the world.

Demonstrating its commitment to corporate social responsibility, Yutong took actions to assist communities affected by natural disasters, such as delivering essential goods to local residents in Kazakhstan following severe floods. During the Green Travel Week in Brisbane, the company raised awareness about ecological sustainability, receiving commendations for its efforts in supporting women and children through various charitable activities.

Yutong, in collaboration with the British firm Pelican, kicked off a tree planting initiative in the UK, emphasizing their commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions.

Aside from its social initiatives, Yutong secured significant international contracts in 2024, delivering:

• - 214 E12 buses to Chile
• - 250 E12 buses to Greece
• - 46 airport shuttle buses to Spain
• - 600 ZK6116HG buses to Mongolia
• - 274 hybrid buses to Mexico
• - 100 trolleybuses to Kazakhstan
• - 500 V6 light buses to Latin America

These achievements attest to the reliability and capability of Yutong buses under extreme conditions. In January 2024, an E18PRO bus successfully traveled 374 kilometers in Kazakhstan at a temperature of -25°C. Additionally, the U12 model became the first Chinese electric bus to cross the Arctic Circle. Demonstrating high efficiency, the E11PRO model operated at 60°C, consuming only 0.74 kWh per kilometer.

In Finland, the T15E bus covered 609 km at -20°C, while in Australia, the C12E bus managed an impressive 555 km on a single charge in October of last year.
