Yutong

Two hundred and fifty Chinese-manufactured electric Yutong buses hit the roads of Athens (140) and Thessaloniki (110) οn Thursday, as part of the government's plan for modern and sustainable urban mobility.

The integration of the electric bus fleet is part of a broader procurement drive in Greece.

Test runs began in Athens on Tuesday for 32 of 140 new electric buses that road transport organization OSY has bought from Chinese company Yutong.

Based on the supply contract, they will have to circulate 18 hours a day, without passengers, until they complete 5,000 km in daily traffic conditions.

The first 140 electric buses from Chinese company Yutong may have arrived in Athens last weekend - plus another 110 in Thessaloniki - and the time is approaching for their circulation on the road, but Kathimerini understands there are issues with the accompanying equipment.

Public transport in Sofia is getting greener in recent months. This is why the new YUTONG E12 electric buses, which run on the public transport lines in the capital, contribute to this.
Changing transport habits is a very slow process that requires new behavior, investing new infrastructure, investor.bg reported. YUTONG E12 buses run for 5 months now in Sofia.
