Yutong has reflected on its successful provision of shuttle services for the 17th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD COP17).
The conference, which was recently held in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, saw leaders, media representatives, and industry delegates from 197 countries gather to discuss desertification, land degradation, drought resilience, and rangeland management.
During the event, 110 Yutong buses provided shuttle services for conference delegates. Beforehand, the company initiated a month-long preparation period, which saw a dedicated service team composed of local service teams, staff, and regional suppliers conduct simulation drills along actual service routes to identify and resolve operational bottlenecks early, as well as prepare spare parts, maintenance tools, and other service resources suited to local operating conditions while strengthening vehicle dispatch arrangements and emergency response plans.
Yutong has stated that these efforts helped to ensure stable and efficient transportation services throughout the conference, with the company’s localised service teams providing support throughout the conference.
For its own part; Yutong has worked to continuously advance the transition to green transportation since the establishment of its energy R&D team in 1997. The company has focused on the research, development, and promotion of new energy bus technologies to accelerate the transition of public transport toward clean energy and, by the end of 2025, Yutong had provided over 210,000 new energy buses worldwide.
Elsewhere, the company launched its ‘One Bus One Tree’ Zero-Carbon Forest Program in 2024, which has led to the planting of one tree worldwide for every Yutong bus delivered. By the end of 2025, he programme had been implemented in countries including China, Chile, Mexico, and the UK, with a total of 83,700 trees planted. In Minqin, Gansu Province, China, 66,900 saxaul trees have been planted, with a survival rate of 90%, covering approximately 700,000 square meters of desertified land and contributing to local ecological restoration.
