Yutong hits milestone during COP26

As the COP26 UN climate-change conference continues, Yutong is marking a green milestone moment.

The Chinese manufacturer’s zero-emission PCVs have travelled 26.2 billion zero-emission kilometres globally since its electric vehicles were launched in 1999.

“…this latest achievement by Yutong is particularly timely with the company marking over 26 billion kilometres travelled in its zero-emission electric vehicles as world leaders gather for the momentous COP26 in Glasgow” – Ian Downie, head of Yutong Bus UK at Pelican Engineering

Ian Downie, head of Yutong Bus UK at Pelican Engineering, said: “Having become the largest bus manufacturer in the world with 16% of the global market, this latest achievement by Yutong is particularly timely with the company marking over 26 billion kilometres travelled in its zero-emission electric vehicles as world leaders gather for the momentous COP26 in Glasgow.

“Over the last 22 years, Yutong has built a reputation as the leader in its field and now has 123,000 zero emission vehicles in operation around the world, including 100 in the UK. With the transition to zero emission vehicles being pushed up the political agenda, we expect the transition to clean transport technology to continue to gather momentum.”
