“The management of smog has become a strong driving force for the electrification of buses and the realization of electrification is the development path for buses.” At the meeting of the “Supply and Demand Matching of New Energy Automotive Products Market” held in mid-June 2014, the Ministry of Science and Technology Wang Binggang, team leader of the project supervision team, said that in terms of electrification of buses, Chinese companies have carried out a lot of innovative work and developed new energy buses with multiple technical routes, including plug-in hybrid buses, dual-source trolley buses, and rail vehicles. Trams, fast-charging pure electric buses, and quick-change pure electric buses have made great technical progress.

Yutong New Energy Bus is an example often mentioned by Wang Binggang. According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, from January to April 2014, there were more than 2,700 new energy bus passenger cars sold in China, of which Yutong sold about 1400 units, accounting for more than 50%, and its market share ranked first in the industry. Up to now, Yutong New Energy Bus has sold more than 8,200 vehicles, covering 28 provinces, 25 provincial capitals, and 107 prefecture-level cities across the country. The share of non-demonstration cities has reached 40%, and the sales volume and share have remained the industry's No. First, it is a well-deserved leader in new energy buses.

Keeping abreast with market demand and grasping the trend of policies, independent investment in heavy investment is an important reason for Yutong's new energy bus leading the market. For example, in 2001, the Ministry of Science and Technology proposed a special action for the “863” plan for electric vehicles and vigorously developed the new energy automotive industry. At the same time, Yutong also accelerated the development of environmental protection products. In 2008, Yutong Bus launched the first new all-aluminum body environmental protection bus ZK6126HGE, and more than 2,600 Yutong buses were selected as Beijing Olympic service vehicles.

In another example, in 2009, the "Ten Cities Thousand Energy Conservation and New Energy Vehicles Demonstration, Extension and Application Project" jointly initiated by the Ministry of Science and Technology and other four ministries and commissions prompted the new energy bus sales to increase further. Among them, Yutong energy-saving and new energy passenger car promotion volume and market recognition are in the leading position. In 2009, Yutong Bus sales reached 28,186 units, an increase of 2.3% year-on-year, and the brand value reached 7.896 billion yuan.

In December 2012, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Science and Technology organized and implemented the technology innovation project for the new energy automotive industry, and invested special funds to support 6 bus companies such as Yutong, 10 car companies including BYD, and 8 battery companies including Lishen to carry out technological research and development. . Supported by a series of policies, in 2012, Yutong New Energy Bus Co., Ltd. sold 1,934 vehicles, whose sales exceeded 2 billion yuan, and its market share exceeded 25%, ranking first in the industry.

The “Energy-saving and New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2012-2020)” released by the State Council in 2012 proposes that the pure electric drive will be the main strategic direction for the transformation of the automobile industry, and the cumulative production and sales volume of pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles by 2015 It will reach 500,000 vehicles and will exceed 5 million by 2020. In 2013, the “Circular Concerning Continuing the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles” promulgated by the State proposed to expand the subsidy range of pure electric buses, 6 to 8 meters 300,000, 8 to 10 meters 400,000, 10 meters to 500,000, 2013 to 2015 The annual new energy bus subsidy standard will remain unchanged.

According to the policy direction and market demand, Yutong Bus has determined its own technical path and development goal: pure electric buses and plug-in hybrid buses are the main development directions. By 2015, sales of hybrid and new energy buses will account for annual sales of the company. 20% to 30%, that is about 20,000 cars. With this technical path as a guide, Yutong has independently developed a series of new energy bus core technologies and products. At present, Yutong Pure Electric Bus has completed a 6- to 14-meter full range of product layouts, and obtained corresponding announcements and subsidy catalogs. The products cover various market segments such as buses, tourism, groups, and special vehicles.

At the end of November 2013, Yutong Bus released the Core Control New Energy Technology Platform. The R & D system consists of "Electrification Four" and "Intelligent Four", which can be widely used in hybrid, plug-in and other energy-saving and new energy buses. It can accurately determine the real-time status of vehicles and match the best power combination solutions. Drive vehicles to achieve the best efficiency, saving more than 30% of fuel and reducing the emission of PM by more than 90% compared to conventional energy vehicles.

In May 2014, Yutong first released the E7 pure electric bus. Yutong said that E7 is Yutong Bus's revolutionary product, the total number of parts and components has been reduced by 57%, the charging threshold has been reduced to the civil level, and the operating cost per kilometer is only 0.3 yuan, which has solved the operating costs and charging constraints in the promotion of electric vehicles. With the use of reliability problems, it has become a subversive product that can change the market structure and change the pattern of new energy buses.
