Themed with New Energy: Opportunities and Challenges of Bus Development, the 2015 China Beijing International Exhibition on Buses, Trucks & Components (Beijing Bus & Truck Expo 2015) officially kicked off in Beijing National Convention Center on May 11, 2015. As the leading bus maker in China, Yutong brought its four latest bus models on display, which attracted wide public attention. Also at the exhibition, the well-renowned bus maker pocketed five major prizes, including Best Business Purpose Vehicle, Best New Energy Bus, Best Telematics Platform Prize, and Best Exhibition Stand Innovation Prize.

Three of the four buses brought by Yutong are electrically powered. Among them, both ZK6705BEVG1 and ZK6105BEVG3 won Best New Energy Bus Award.

Undoubtedly, full electric city buses have been taking the lead in the application process of new energy buses. Thanks to the fact that the bus routes are generally fixed, the recharging is comparatively easy. Currently, it must be admitted that some bottlenecks still exist for the application of new energy vehicles for families. Against such a backdrop, emphasis should be put on developing full electric buses for public transport. So far, ZK6105BEVG3 and ZK6705BEVG1 are well received by the bus market. ZK6705BEVG1, in particular, is gaining increasing popularity. The Public Transport Company in Xushui County, Baoding, bought 30 units ZK6705BEVG1, which made a huge splash in the China’s bus industry.

Besides the full electric buses, Yutong T7, a business purpose bus for the high end passenger transportation market is also quite a star at this year’s exhibition. Many industrial experts speak highly of the vehicle and they all have high expectations of it. “Soon will be over for the days of the monopoly of foreign business purpose vehicles in the high-end business purpose vehicle market,” says one insider.

As a solely independently developed vehicle, Yutong T7 has successfully gone through a number of stringent tests. In regard to travel comforts, safety and appearance, it can readily rival with Toyota Coaster. Because of this, it won 2015 China Road Transport Cup Best Business Purpose Vehicle Prize
