On the day of the delivery, these vehicles were filled with hydrogen in Zhengzhou, and then were driven to Yanqing, Beijing across 800 kilometers. In the future, these vehicles are expected to be promoted as shuttle and tourism buses in Beijing and even Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and other regions, Yutong adds.
