Recently, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) revealed a list of intelligence manufacturing projects of 2015. Nearly 100 projects from 94 companies and research institutions made their way into the list. The release of the list also marks the official launch of China’s intelligence manufacturing project. Yutong’s project on New Modular and Flexible Intelligence Manufacturing Mode of Energy-saving and New Energy Buses is also on the list.

In April, the State Council held a special conference to deliberate on Made in China 2025 Initiative, which was later given the green light by the central government. As the top blueprint for China’s manufacturing industry in the next decade, the initiative aims at realizing three major transformations, namely from made in China to created in China, from the speed of China to the quality of China, from the products of China to the brands of China. By realizing the three major transformations, China is making steady progress into a few elite nations with competitive manufacturing capacity and pushing the country into a new era of industrialization. According to the initiative, China will focus on promoting the deepened integration of information technologies and industrial technologies by actively developing intelligence manufacturing and building new industrial systems and new modes of manufacturing in the age of information.

The development of new energy vehicles is the key to the successful transformation of China’s auto industry and plays an important role in further upgrading China’s manufacturing industry. As the new energy buses gradually become the main force of growth in China’s bus market, the cultivation and construction of new energy bus intelligence manufacturing mode is an inevitable development trend for the bus industry. Boasting a market share of over 30%, China’s leading bus maker Yutong is also the nation’s only bus brand with an accumulated sales volume of new energy buses surpassing 10,000 units. Against such a backdrop, it shoulders great responsibility for lending transformative power to China’s bus industry.

Yutong’s project on New Modular and Flexible Intelligence Manufacturing Mode of Energy-saving and New Energy Buses sticks to the automatic and intelligence manufacturing of energy-saving and new energy buses. By integrating the modular design, modular sale and flexible production of energy-saving and new energy buses, Yutong aspires to become a modern manufacturer of energy efficient and environmentally friendly buses. According to the bus maker, its project covers seven aspects of construction, including the construction of modular design system of energy-saving and new energy buses, and the construction of remote intelligence upgrading system of new energy buses, etc.

By taking advantage of its current competitiveness in manufacturing facilities, Yutong will carry out its plans on its ambitious project, providing end-to-end information integration of market, order, design, simulation, production, logistics, equipment and after-sales services and building up more deepened and intelligent manufacturing and management systems. It is believed that the implementation of the project will further lay a solid foundation for Yutong’s expansion in the promising new energy bus market in the future.
