Yutong, a leading player in the electric bus market, showcased impressive performance in 2023, registering over 36,000 units worldwide and more than 700 units in Europe, with a particular focus on electric buses and coaches. At the Next Mobility Exhibition in Milan, William Ding, Yutong's Western Europe managing director, highlighted the company's figures in Europe and its ambitions for the Italian market. Yutong aims to register over 50 BEV buses in Italy in 2024 and 2025, emphasizing long-term operations in Europe to become a preferred brand for customers. Yutong invests significantly in R&D, with 7% of annual revenue allocated to this area and over 1,500 patents in new energy technologies. The company is open to collaborating with local new energy companies to promote the European zero-emission transition. Additionally, plans to introduce new pure electric models, invest in spare parts storage, and enhance after-sale service reflect Yutong's commitment to customer satisfaction. While Yutong has successful hydrogen fuel cell products in China, it opts to focus on electric buses in Europe due to economic reasons. The high costs associated with hydrogen fuel, including transportation, storage, and vehicle prices, deter the company from heavily investing in hydrogen technology in the European market. Yutong's strategic approach includes considering factors like customer service convenience and cost advantages when evaluating the potential establishment of manufacturing facilities in Europe.
