Yutong bus sales up 500% year-on-year in May

In the first five months of 2013, Yutong bus sales of new energy buses achieved a year-on-year increase of 500%, of which hybrid buses accounted for 85% of the total number of new energy buses sold. A Yutong passenger car's new energy vehicle division disclosed that.

According to the great wisdom Astarco News Agency reported on July 14, “the order situation in the following months is also very strong.” The person said at the 2013 China (Hangzhou) national new energy automobile industry exhibition on the 13th.

It is reported that Yutong Bus's new energy bus production base invested RMB 2.4 billion to build on July 20, 2011, and began production in the second half of 2012. The production base currently has eight production lines and can produce at least 150 new energy buses per day. At present, the new energy buses produced by Yutong Bus have three types: hybrid power, gas-electric hybrid power, and pure electric power.

According to this person, the two models displayed at the exhibition were sold at a price of 800,000 yuan. Purchasers who purchase gas-electric or hybrid-electric hybrid buses can receive a government subsidy of RMB 420,000. As a result, the purchase cost of new energy buses is not much higher than that of conventional diesel vehicles.
