The sacred flame of Nanjing Youth Olympics extinguished slowly and the sports show of youngsters concluded successfully after 12-day competition. After five years of preparation, the Nanjing Youth Olympics attracted 3,787 young athletes from 204 countries and regions as well as 88,000 registered customers to gather in this ancient oriental city. This gave Nanjing tremendous traffic pressure while bringing huge business opportunities to the city. It is a test of not only Nanjing’s transportation planning but also the bus brands serving the games.

It is learned Nanjing added 2,530 new buses for the games, among which 1,470 units are Yutong buses and accounting for nearly 60 percent of the total. There were 1,400 Yutong city buses and 70 Yutong coaches, and the latter were mainly for carrying athletes and referees and became a highlight of the games outside the stadium. With superior product quality and sound after-sales service, Yutong buses were recognized by Nanjing citizens and athletes from different countries.  

In order to ensure the normal operation of the vehicles during the games, Yutong has arranged a professional service team consisting of 32 people and conducted a comprehensive examination on all Yutong buses involved in the games. Especially for the 70 coaches carrying athletes and referees, they conducted inspection every day on each one before its departure, and gave individual professional guidance to every driver.

In recent years, Yutong buses undertook the transportation task of a number of major events, becoming one of the most direct elements to show the image of China. From the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008 to World Expo 2010 in Shanghai, from Universiade 2011 in Shenzhen to Nanjing Youth Olympics, you can always see Yutong buses on such big events. The frequent appearance of Yutong buses has made Yutong become a star in China and even in the world, which also enhanced its popularity in the sales market. The statistics showed that Yutong delivered 4,050 buses and coaches in July, up 24.6% than the same period of the previous year. And the accumulated sales volume from January to July this year reached 27,439 units.

Based on the excellent performance during the Nanjing Youth Olympics, the brand recognition of Yutong has been further improved and Yutong will continue to take the lead in the bus sales in the second half of 2014. Firstly, driven by the state’s incentive policy, many cities are replacing their city buses with eco-friendly ones, and Yutong’s new energy city buses are almost their choice of priority in various regions of China. Secondly, the safety issues of school buses are getting a lot of attention in the society and the sales of school buses are expected to rise to a new level. The sales volume of Yutong’s special school buses has been ranking first for a long time. In the first half of this year, Yutong delivered 1,771 light school buses, accounting for 56.2% of the total with a market share of 34.2%. Thirdly, the sales of electric buses see a rapid growth nationwide, so the sales performance of Yutong’s competitive product E7 and the 12m electric city bus recently launched on the Guangzhou Transpo can be highly expected in the second half of this year.
