Yutong Bus Unveils YEA Technology Along with Bus and Coaches in Saudi Arabia
YEA is the commercial vehicle industry's first EV-specific platform that integrates both hardware and software, shifting away from the fragmented technologies seen in the petro-to-electro transition. This platform addresses challenges like range limitations, operational inefficiencies, and safety concerns, offering cost-effective, full-lifecycle solutions that establish Yutong as a leader in transportation technology advancements.
During the event, attendees witnessed a live demonstration of Yutong's industry-first nitrogen protection system for electric vehicle batteries. This innovative safety feature, which eliminates the risk of fire and explosion by creating an oxygen-free environment inside the battery case, impressed guests and reinforced the superior safety of Yutong's offerings.
Yutong also introduced two electric buses, the E11PRO and D8E. The E11PRO, which is also the first electric bus running in Jeddah City. It recently completed an extreme heat challenge in Saudi Arabia , showcasing the bus's performance in extremely challenging environments. The D8E, designed for regional routes, features high-safety lithium iron phosphate batteries, real-time motor monitoring, and the capability to complete full charging in less than 1.5 hours.
Yutong's traditional models, the C13PRO and C13, also garnered attention at the event. The C13PRO, known for its durability in harsh environments, is used by the Saudi Public Transport Company (SAPTCO) for long routes across
Saudi Arabia . "These vehicles are suited to the hot and dusty climate in
Saudi Arabia and have overcome the difficulties of long operating mileage and high intensity," said
. "There are also vehicles dedicated to high-end VIP services. From customized business seats and well-crafted interior trim to supporting facilities, every detail of Yutong surprises us."
Over the past decade, Yutong has sold 10,172 buses across 12 countries in the Middle East , including nearly 950 electric vehicles. In Saudi Arabia, Yutong sold 19 electric buses, making it a market leader. The company also leads in airport shuttle buses and intercity coaches, with its shuttle buses serving 90% of the airports in the country. Rawahel, a leading Saudi transportation company, has been a long-time partner of Yutong in the region, operating more than 600 Yutong buses across various cities. "Thanks to the high-quality service from the Yutong team, our buses experienced zero downtime during the Hajj season," said .
Now Yutong's Middle East service network includes three regional companies covering twelve countries and regions, along with a team of over 120 service engineers and 70 local engineers. The company operates more than 13 authorized service stations and maintains 3 spare parts centers along with a 15-unit mobile workshop, providing 24-hour support to customers across the region.
