LONDON, Nov. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

-McGill's and Pelican partner with Yutong to offer zero-emission bus service 
starting from day one of  COP26 in Glasgow 


Yutong Bus Co., Ltd. ("Yutong", SHA: 600066) released its proposal for Net-Zero 
Emissions by 2050 in the run-up to the COP26 running from October 31-November 
12 in the SEC in Glasgow, which will see a 55-strong zero-emissions bus fleet 
manufactured by Yutong joining the Glasgow bus service to provide a fast and 
climate-friendly link for local residents. Along with the International 
Association of Public Transport, Pelican Bus & Coach, a UK bus and coach 
importer and local leading public transportation operators, Yutong jointly 
explores new ways to save energy and reduce carbon Emissions in the field of 
public transportation.

Operated by McGill's, the well-established privately-owned bus and coach 
operator in the UK, the bus fleet consists of fifty-five Yutong full-electric 
E12 buses that are equipped with a host of state-of-the-art features tailored 
to British drivers and passengers. Inside, the purpose-built electric buses 
feature Yutong's NVH noise-reduction technology, ergonomic seats and 
industry-leading battery system to offer a comfortable, safe and whisper-quiet 
ride experience.

"Urbanisation will increase demand for sustainable transport around the world 
in coping with the high emissions of private vehicles caused which is about 
three quarters of CO2 from urban passenger transport," Philip Turner, Head of 
Sustainable Development of International Association of Public Transport 
mentioned during the event of delivery ceremony. "Public transportation is the 
most effective way to improve travel efficiency and energy conservation and 
emission reduction," which coincides with the green public travel advocated by 
Yutong.

"Yutong is taking a lead in helping China and the world to achieve emissions 
targets by releasing the first net-zero emissions initiative in China's bus 
industry. It emphasizes the devotion on technological innovations such as new 
energy and autonomous driving to accelerate the research and development, 
manufacturing, and promotion and application of zero-carbon and smart 
commercial vehicles," said Kent Chang, Director of Yutong Overseas Distribution 
Sales. "We will continue to make efforts to promote the transformation of smart 
manufacturing, speedup the realization of the green commercial vehicle industry 
chain, and advocate the culture of public transportation."
