Yutong prides itself to be the largest bus manufacturer in the world in term of sales volumes. The company has a share of over 15% in the global market, operating in over 30 countries, including France, UK, Chile, Russia, South Africa etc.

In China, the definition ‘new energy buses’ covers full (or pure) electric buses, plugin hybrid buses, and fuel cell buses. Due to China’s policy orientation (addressed at the full electrification of public transportation systems), pure electric buses occupy more than 80% of the market share of city buses.
