"What is better than a comfortable, memorable bus ride? The electric city bus, Yutong U12DD, is capable of being positioned as a sightseeing bus. It possesses a large upper deck windshield and a suite of configurable interiors, with a panoramic sunroof, providing passengers with an enjoyable, comfortable riding experience. Yutong U12DD is believed to be capable of serving Singaporean passengers with unique experiences and advancing the development of local green transportation.

One of the best ways of improving our public transportation system is, of course, going green. Yutong U12DD is one of our eco-friendly options. Yutong U12DD incorporates large-capacity batteries, which allow it to travel more than 200km on a single charge, under urban road conditions. One U12DD is estimated to reduce CO2 emission by more than 150t a year, which is equivalent to planting 1104 trees annually. Entered Singapore in 2020, they were the first batch of fully electric double-deck city buses. Yutong U12DD is expected to play a crucial role in the pursuit of green transportation development.

Yutong is honored to participate in Union Internationale des Transports Publics (UITP) APC meeting. In the meeting, Yutong has shared environmental measures in China and our initiative of #RacetoZero at COP26. With a passion for sustainable mobility, it is a great chance to share our experiences and insight with our professional peers. In the future, Yutong will continue shouldering the responsibility of protecting the environment as the leading public transport manufacturer.

oming to the era of green commuting, fuel cell vehicle (FCV) is one of our eco options. Yutong FCVs have equipped with the fuel-cell-electric system, which would continuously optimise energy management and reduce hydrogen consumption. In winter, these vehicles would utilise after-heat to save more energy for return-stroke, easing range anxiety for drivers. Not merely supporting a single journey, Yutong has also modified the control system and refined the battery life, extending the life of vehicles.

A fleet of 80 Yutong ZK6116HGS double-decker city buses has arrived in Kuwait City, the capital of Kuwait. This fleet adapts low-floor entrance design, user-friendly seat spacing comes with USB ports, providing a comfortable and convenient ride to passengers. Equipped with the optimized engine and air conditioner, it is better at suiting local high-temperature climates. With the partnership tracked back to 2009, our Kuwait client has so far owned a total of 533 Yutong buses.
