On July 25, the 14th Guangdong Provincial Sports Meeting kicked off at the Olympic Center in Zhanjiang. Nearly 40,000 spectators together with distinguished guests and athletes witnessed the grand ceremony. To provide comfortable and convenient transport services for both referees and athletes, a bus fleet composed of 170 units Yutong full electric buses is designated. According to the organizing committee, this is the first time for Guangdong Provincial Sports Meeting to use electric buses. Also in a number of large-scale sports meetings held in recent years, the use of such a large-scale of environmentally friendly buses is quite exceptional.

According to Zhanjiang Zhongdian Lvyuan New Energy Bus Operation Co., Ltd., all of the electric buses from Yutong are E10. Measuring 10.7 meters in length, the bus can be fully recharged in 75 minutes through fast recharging mode and 150 minutes in slow recharging mode. Mounted with 45+1+1 seats for both passengers and the driver, the bus is able to drive over 150 km continuously. It is ideal for group travel passenger transport. As one of the recently developed E series electric buses, Yutong E10 now boasts the number among all full electric buses in operation.

Since July 11, Yutong full electric bus fleet has been put on the roads in Zhanjiang. From July 16 to the end of the sports meeting, Yutong full electric buses all have heavy transportation tasks. Despite the hot weather, varied road conditions, frequent start-ups and stops, Yutong full electric buses have all been working smoothly so far.

Starting from 1999, Yutong has been making heavy investments in the development of new energy buses. In recent years, its hard work has continuously been generating positive results. The bus maker has become the leader in China’s electric bus industry.
