Yutong<\/strong> announced the introduction of the IC12E <\/strong>model, a battery-electric intercity bus designed for long-range operations. The manufacturer claims a maximum range of 610 kilometers. It’s set to join the nascent European intercity electric bus market<\/a>: in late 2024 Iveco and Daimler Buses presented their Crossway Elec<\/a> and eIntouro<\/a>, while Solaris will enter the market in 2026<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, date or expo for unveiling has not been yet mentioned: maybe will it be showcased for the first time at Busworld Europe 2025<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yutong set to launch the intercity IC12E electric bus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The standard battery configuration is 400 kWh, with an optional 466 kWh pack<\/strong>. Yutong offers a guarantee of 1.5 million kilometers or 15 years, with minimal battery degradation over this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Yutong<\/a> IC12E measures 12,660 mm in length, 2,550 mm in width, and 3,500 mm in height. It has a maximum seating capacity of 59 passengers<\/strong>, plus space for luggage with a boot volume of 4.5 cubic meters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chinese OEM placed first in the European e-bus market 2024<\/a> with as many as 1,092 units delivered (according to data by DVV Media Group), growing 100% on 2023. Market share? 14%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To comply with EU General Safety Regulation (GSR), the Yutong IC12E integrates active safety technologies for pre-accident detection, hazard warnings, and intervention control. Intelligent driving assistance systems enhance warning, prevention, and avoidance capabilities, reducing the risk of collisions and rollovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Yutong IC12E<\/strong> shares its visual design with the U-series, developed specifically for the European market<\/a>. Yutong has established a presence in Europe with a range of electric buses tailored to local requirements, including double-decker<\/a> and articulated models. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rated power output is 215 kW, with a peak power of 350 kW. An optional configuration offers a rated power of 250 kW. The rated torque is 1,260 Nm, with a peak torque of 3,100 Nm, while the optional configuration increases rated torque to 1,680 Nm and peak torque to 3,800 Nm. The Yutong IC12E<\/strong> features a Cling<\/strong> electric heating and cooling air conditioning system with a refrigerating capacity of 32,000 Kcal\/h and a heating capacity of 30,000 Kcal\/h, according to the technical sheet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
