Recently, forty-six Yutong Ice12 battery electric intercity buses debuted at the unveiling ceremony of "100% clean and 100% ZOU" operation routes. The ceremony was successfully held in Antibes, a famous coastal city in France, and jointly hosted by the government of France and Keolis. The aim is to accelerate the realization of local emission reduction and provide passengers with green travel experience.

The intercity buses were purchased by Keolis, one of the largest operators in Europe, and put into operation on the intercity lines from Nice Airport to Cannes, Monaco and Antibes. So far, Yutong has exported 135 battery electric intercity buses to France, with an operating mileage of nearly15 million kilometers, becoming a major supplier of battery electric buses in France.

In 2019, the first batch of Yutong Ice12 was officially put into operation in France, marking the first battery electric intercity line in Europe. The exceptional safety features and passenger comfort of Yutong buses have earned widespread recognition among the local community and international tourists.

This batch of buses is equipped with Yutong's independent liquid cooling system and unique Yutong Electric Safety System (YESS), which can provide 24h monitoring of batteries, so that the buses can adapt to complex road conditions and realize long driving range.

Today, Yutong has become the largest supplier of battery electric buses in France. Yutong Ice12 has achieved good operation in Marseille, Annecy, Nice, Paris, Bordeaux and other cities. In the context of global carbon neutrality, Yutong has become a major supplier of battery electric buses in Europe and exported China's green travel solutions to the world.
