The ceremony of Yutong 40,000^th bus in 2010 rolling off the line was held at Yutong Industrial Park, Zhengzhou on December 26, 2010. The government officials from Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Commerce and Henan Provincial Government were present at the ceremony.

In the Final Assembly Workshop, a Yutong ZK6122 bus slowly rolled off the line, declaring the birth of the 40,000^th bus in this year. It is a historic moment worthy of commemorating. This moment marks a new era of Yutong’s rapid development these years, this moment represents Yutong’s manufacturing and management level reaching a new height, this moment is a symbol that China is becoming a powerful country in terms of bus manufacturing, and this moment also means the bus industry is becoming the most self-led innovative sector in China’s auto industry.

The figure 40,000 might not uncommon for an auto enterprise, but as to a bus builder, it is really meaningful not only for Yutong itself but also for China’s bus industry.

With a market share of 25% in China, Yutong is the bus brand in China. In 2009, the turnover of Yutong Bus reached 8.7 billion yuan with a sales volume of 28,186 units, firmly ranked first in China’s bus industry. Up to now, the production volume of the country’s buses & coaches has accounted for 35% of the world’s total. Therefore, we can put it this way, the bus sector highlights the Chinese auto industry and Yutong highlights China’s bus sector.

From a small factory with an annual bus output less than 700 units to the world’s bus manufacturing base with an output of 40,000 buses, Yutong has entered a new developing phase. Of course, Yutong is clearly aware of the gap between the international counterparts in terms of technology, brand, marketing and so on. The 40,000^th bus is not only a milestone for the company bus also a new starting point for its future development. Maintaining the healthy, stable and sustainable developing status, Yutong endeavors to make greater contribution to the establishment of a safe, convenient, efficient and green transport system.
