During the exhibition, Yutong displayed four new battery-electric buses designed for urban transport, intercity travel and long-distance coach services.
T14E (14-metre electric coach): Available with 621 kWh or 704 kWh batteries, offering a maximum range of up to 850 km. The model seats 61 passengers and includes features such as a large luggage compartment, surround sound system, NFC digital key access, adaptive ride adjustment through a damping control and suspension system, and accessibility functions for passengers with reduced mobility.
IC12E (12-metre intercity coach): Launched globally at the event, equipped with new high-density batteries. Under SORT2 testing, it records 0.67 kWh/km energy use and a maximum range of 675 km. It supports fast charging at up to 1,400A when using dual chargers, enabling charging from 12% to full capacity in around 1.2 hours.
U15 (15-metre city bus): Designed to carry up to 90 passengers with a maximum range of 850 km under SORT2 conditions. It is integrated with the Link+ fleet management system to support real-time operational monitoring.

A key focus of Yutong’s presentation was its EV Long-Life Tech, developed to align the operational lifespan of the vehicle and its battery. The system is designed for 15 years or up to 1.5 million kilometres of use. Potential benefits include improved safety, greater reliability, reduced material consumption and lower environmental impact through extended product life and recyclability.
Alongside its vehicles, Yutong presented lifecycle service solutions, including connectivity, charging, and aftersales support. The Link+ system offers integrated management covering operation, maintenance and repair. Yutong also highlighted its EnRoute+ service brand, which includes commitments on service network and parts supply.
In Europe, the company has established a central parts depot in France, 16 forward warehouses and 32 authorised service stations supported by approximately 90 service staff. Services include full-service contracts, mobile maintenance and on-site technical support.
Yutong stated that it will continue to invest in new energy technologies, manufacturing and lifecycle services to support the transition to electric mobility and reduce environmental impact in the transport sector.
