Yutong Bus to Deliver 100 Electric Buses to Chile, Becoming the Leading Chinese Bus Supplier in Latin America

- The 100 full electric buses will be used by Buses Vule and STP Santiago to serve the Santiago public transportation system. Yutong's delivery comes as the Chilean government has launched an environmentally-friendly urban development policy, part of which includes a program to replace current city buses with new-energy vehicles by 2050. E12 Electrical Bus, the model Yutong will deliver to Chile, is equipped with 324kWh power capacity and low energy consumption. The model comes with a 150kw DC charge, making it easier and faster for the vehicles to charge. It only takes 2 hours to fully charge the bus. Under the premise of continuing the vehicle operation, the buses can be charged at a lower price at night, reducing the cost of the client's subsequent operation. "For 13 years we've been strengthening our presence in Chile, deploying the 'Yutong Model' of customized products, accessories, financing and comprehensive protection to serve different customers in different markets," said Chang Hao, Yutong's deputy general manager of overseas markets.
