In 2019, Yutong Bus stood out from the fierce competition of many international famous brands through bidding, and successfully won the first batch of full electric bus orders in Denmark. Hence, Yutong launched the first electric bus route for the Danish market. On April 13th of the same year, 20 Yutong E12 buses were officially delivered to Denmark, and Yutong became the first bus brand to enter the Danish market.
Now, Yutong E12 enters the Danish market again with another 55 of its vehicles. This not only reflects the recognition of Yutong brand, but also shows the affirmation of E12 product quality.

Thus, users can rest assured with its high reliability and safety performance.
It is also on the strength of the users’ trust in Yutong’s advanced technology and their recognition of its comprehensive strength, Yutong was able to win the largest batch of full electric bus orders in Denmark again and became the first full electric bus supplier in Denmark with a market share of over 60%.
