Yutong has commenced delivery of 300 Yuwei E12 electric buses and 500 CNG buses to Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
The vehicles will be delivered in batches throughout 2023 to improve public transport in Uzbekistan.
This is the country’s first order for a large quantity of ‘new energy vehicles’.
By procuring 300 battery electric buses, Uzbekistan hopes to decarbonise public transport and become a leader of electrification in Central Asia.
As Tashkent has a hot and dry climate, Yutong has equipped the vehicles with several customised features, including an independent liquid cooling system for the traction batteries.
In addition, the new vehicles feature a motor sediment protection and anti-condensation structure to reduce the potential for faults.
