Ian Downie, Head of Yutong Sales commented “The introduction of the smaller E9 to our zero emission portfolio is an exciting addition. With three different single deck sizes, and the only zero emission coach in the UK, the Yutong offering provides customers with real choice. The size and manoeuvrability of the E9 makes it ideal for a number of applications. The first vehicle is currently in build, with orders already received for March 2023 delivery.”
