Yutong Bus&Coach has long been at the forefront of the public transportation industry, pioneering innovative solutions that have transformed urban landscapes worldwide. Since the development of their first battery electric bus in 1999, the company has been on a relentless mission to create a greener, more efficient future for mobility.
Unlocking the Power of New Energy
In 2009, Yutong established its R&D Center of New Energy Technologies, dedicated to pushing the boundaries of clean energy solutions. This strategic move paved the way for a breakthrough in 2013, when the company fully mastered the intellectual property rights of new energy system components, launching the revolutionary “ReCtrl” trademark.
Engineering Excellence and Safety
The designation of China’s first National Engineering Technology Research Center for Electric Bus Control and Safety to Yutong in 2014 was a testament to the company’s engineering prowess. With a dedicated R&D team of over 700 experts, including 29 doctoral researchers, Yutong has consistently set new standards for electric bus performance and safety.
Driving Towards a Sustainable Future
Yutong’s commitment to sustainability has been repeatedly recognized, with the company’s “Energy-Saving and New Energy Bus Key Technology Research & Development and Industrialization” project being awarded the National Award for Science and Technology Progress (Second Prize) in 2016. The prestigious Ecology Award from Busworld Kortrijk in 2017 further solidified Yutong’s position as a leader in eco-friendly mobility.
Conquering Global Markets
Yutong’s innovative spirit has not only transformed the domestic market but has also captured the attention of the international community. In 2018, the company made its mark in the overseas high-end market, securing the largest order of 100 battery electric buses from Chile. The company’s success has continued to soar, with record-breaking exports to Norway, Kazakhstan, and Qatar, showcasing Yutong’s ability to provide tailored solutions for diverse global needs.
Conclusion
Yutong’s relentless pursuit of innovation has led to groundbreaking achievements, such as the introduction of the first dual-powered trolleybuses in the Americas in 2020 and the impressive 320-kilometer driving range of the Yutong E12 in extreme cold conditions in Kazakhstan in 2023. Moreover, the Yutong T15E’s dual accolades at Busworld Europe in 2023 further solidify the company’s position as a leading force in the design and sustainability of electric buses.
