Yutong Introduces Next-Gen Battery Electric Intercity Bus IC12E at UITP Summit Hamburg 2025

Yutong Bus, a leading global player in the utility vehicle sector, made a significant impact at the UITP Summit in Hamburg, showcasing its latest innovations in sustainable public transportation. Under the theme "Think Eco, Move Green," the company presented the new battery electric intercity bus, the IC12E, designed specifically for the European market.

High-Performance Features of the IC12E


The IC12E is engineered for long-distance intercity travel, featuring a combination of robust power, an extensive operational range, and high capacity. Recently, it embarked on an extensive journey through four European countries: starting from Hamburg, Germany, it made its way through Copenhagen, Denmark, Gothenburg, Sweden, and finally reached Oslo, Norway. This route served diverse driving conditions encompassing urban streets, highways, bridges, and coastal roads, thereby emphasizing the IC12E’s outstanding performance and adaptability.

During this journey, data revealed that the bus maintained an impressive energy consumption average of just 0.7 kWh/km over a staggering distance of 1,272 km, with the vehicle not being fully charged. This not only demonstrates Yutong's technological prowess in renewable energy systems but also highlights its leadership in the electric vehicle sector.

The IC12E excelled in a sustainability challenge by successfully achieving a 510 km driving range between Germany and Denmark, with its state of charge (SOC) decreasing from 99% to 31%, leaving an additional 170 km of travel capacity when the journey concluded. Moreover, in a rapid charging test, the SOC surged from 13% to 99% in just 1 hour and 40 minutes when utilizing a single charging station. The bus also showcased exceptional power performance during uphill drives in Norway, demonstrating a 20% gradient capability.

The Yutong U12: Premium Urban Transport Solution


In addition to the IC12E, Yutong also introduced the U12, a premium battery electric bus designed for major urban routes, renowned for winning the Busworld Design Label. Stretching 12 meters long, it can accommodate up to 95 passengers. The U12 features a robust closed-loop body structure and a YESS battery safety system, ensuring a harmonious balance of safety, efficiency, comfort, and intelligent management.

Commitment to Sustainable Mobility


Looking ahead, Yutong intends to enhance its focus on providing valuable ecological transportation solutions that not only support the public traveling needs but also positively impact the environment. Through innovative products like the IC12E and U12, Yutong solidifies its mission to contribute to a greener future for urban mobility in Europe and beyond.
