Yutong Debuts New Generation Battery Electric Intercity Bus IC12E at UITP Summit Hamburg 2025, Showcasing Electrification Innovation
Yutong Bus showcased its green public transport innovations under the theme “Think Eco, Move Green” at the UITP Summit 2025, held from June 15-18 in Hamburg Germany. The flagship models included the battery electric intercity bus IC12E and the premium city bus U12 .
Jack Li, CEO of Yutong Central & Northern Europe, delivered a speech at the summit, "Yutong remains convinced that the future of public mobility lies in providing sustainable transportation solutions for our customers. We will accelerate our electrification journey with greater resolve, building a greener world through eco-friendly solutions."
Yutong offers Europe a full range of electric products, delivering safe and reliable public mobility solutions tailored to various road conditions across European countries. At this exhibition, Yutong has unveiled two customized models: the IC12E, a new-generation battery electric intercity bus – specifically designed for the European market – and the U12, a premium battery electric bus engineered for main urban routes.
The IC12E is specifically engineered for high-frequency intercity operations, featuring outstanding reliability, enhanced safety, and intelligent comfort. With a maximum range of 610 km under SORT2 conditions, it delivers robust power performance and a 20% maximum gradeability.
Jack, CEO of Yutong Western Europe, delivered a keynote speech addressing the key pain points of traditional European intercity buses—including cost-efficiency and environmental adaptability—along with industry trends and market demands. He emphasized the challenge of balancing critical requirements such as high uptime, powertrain performance, spaciousness, and range in intercity transportation. As the solution to these challenges, Yutong's new generation battery electric intercity bus, the IC12E, marks a fresh starting point.
Starting June 19, the IC12E will undergo a three-day, 1,200 km comprehensive road test across four European countries.
The U12, winner of the Busworld Design Label, features a 12-meter body capable of carrying up to 95 passengers, while incorporating a high-strength, robust closed-ring body structure and YESS battery safety system, combining safety, efficiency, comfort, and intelligent management.
Germany, the birthplace of the automotive industry and home to one of the world's most competitive and influential automotive sectors, provided the perfect stage for Yutong's remarkable showcase at the UITP Summit 2025 in Hamburg. This appearance not only demonstrated Yutong's achievements in deepening its presence across European markets, but also comprehensively highlighted the company's profound commitment to new energy technologies and environmental sustainability. Moreover, the event provided Yutong with a pivotal platform to engage with global industry leaders and refine its competitive edge.
Moving forward, Yutong will continue to create greater value for customers and enhance public travel experiences with green, safe and comfortable mobility solutions.
