Yutong has announced two major deliveries in October 2025 involving two Asia’s emerging e-mobility markets. In Uzbekistan, the capital city Tashkent has received 202 new electric buses, while in Pakistan, 400 e-buses have entered service across 19 cities in Punjab Province.

Uzbekistan: Tashkent targets a 50% electric fleet by 2030

Tashkent’s latest batch of 202 Yutong buses forms part of a wider national programme to modernize public transport and cut emissions. The city plans to make half of its bus fleet electric by 2030, with 1,200 e-buses scheduled for delivery by the end of 2026. In the same city also BYD was awarded a wide tender.

The new vehicles meet current technical, environmental, and safety standards and will be operated by Toshshahatransxizmat JSC.

Under the city’s 2030 plan, deliveries will include 30 articulated 18-metre buses, 500 standard 12-metre units, and 470 nine-metre models. The focus remains on expanding zero-emission capacity while maintaining service reliability on busy urban routes.

Pakistan: 400 Yutong e-buses deployed across Punjab

In Pakistan, Yutong has completed the largest single order for new energy buses in the country’s history — 400 vehicles, including E12PRO and E9 models, now in operation across Punjab. The delivery supports Pakistan’s target of 30% electric vehicle adoption by 2030.

Yutong has customized the vehicles for local operating conditions, equipping them with a Nitrogen Protection System for traction batteries to improve safety under high temperatures, and a dual middle-door layout to optimise passenger flow during peak hours.

The company has also built a local service network with eight outlets and a 56-member technical team ensuring maintenance coverage within a 150 km radius. Since 2008, Yutong states it has trained over 1,000 local staff in driving and maintenance through more than 80 training sessions.
