Yutong Van Demonstrates Exceptional Capabilities on Ghana’s Roads

Yutong Bus, a prominent player in the global commercial vehicle sector, recently showcased the remarkable performance of its van in a challenging real-world test in Ghana. Covering a distance of 260 kilometers between Accra and Kumasi, the van achieved an impressive fuel consumption rate of just 9.2 liters per 100 kilometers, highlighting its efficiency and reliability in various driving conditions.

Fuel Efficiency and Operational Savings

The rigorous test not only displayed the van's energy efficiency but also emphasized long-term operational savings. Compared to similar models under identical conditions, the Yutong Van demonstrated a fuel consumption improvement of 5 to 8 percent. For operators covering approximately 100,000 kilometers per year, this translates into savings of around 1,000 liters of fuel per vehicle, positioned as a smart investment for long-distance operations.

With three distinct driving modes—"Standard," "Power," and "Economy"—the van adapts seamlessly to various terrains. Additionally, enhancements in engine calibration and software optimization further improve driving performance, making the Yutong Van an economical solution for transportation operators.

Robust Design and Reliability

Designed for endurance, the Yutong Van boasts a lifespan of two million kilometers, having undergone extensive reliability testing equivalent to this mileage. It stands resilient against extreme temperatures and challenging terrains, a vital feature considering Ghana's diverse landscape. Its fully corrosion-resistant design promises 20 years of protection from rust, essential for tropical climates.

Equipped with a turbocharged 2.3-liter diesel engine producing 163 horsepower and a torque of 400 Nm, the van confidently tackles gradients of up to 40%. Features like dual rear tires and Bosch's electronic stability program (ESP) enhance traction and control, particularly during the rainy season when road conditions can be more hazardous.

Comfort and Safety Features

In addition to performance capabilities, the Yutong Van prioritizes driver comfort and passenger safety. It features a spacious interior with a ceiling height of 1,890 mm, a wide aisle exceeding 300 mm, and a seat spacing of 720 mm in the 14/15 seat configurations, allowing for an accommodating ride. The van's superior air conditioning system, along with low noise, vibration, and harshness levels, ensures a quiet and smooth driving experience.

Intelligent features like automatic wipers and headlights, electric swing doors, lane departure warnings, and front collision alerts enhance convenience and safety, catering to a modern driving experience.

Growing Trust in Ghana’s Transportation Sector

As Ghana's intercity passenger transport sector evolves alongside the country's rapid economic growth, the Yutong Vans are gaining increasing customer confidence due to their reliable performance and operational efficiency. Real-world testing in Ghana reaffirms Yutong's commitment to providing vans tailored to local realities that blend reliability, affordability, and comfort.
