The Yutong E10, also sold as the longer Yutong E12, is a battery electric single-decker bus manufactured by Yutong in Zhengzhou since 2016 for both Chinese and international bus operators.

The Yutong E10 debuted in China in 2016, transporting delegates to meetings of the National People's Congress in Beijing.[3][4]

Design

Both the Yutong E10 and Yutong E12 are powered by a 350 kW electric motor capable of producing 3,500 newton-metres (2,600 lbf⋅ft) of torque. The buses carry twelve lithium iron phosphate batteries with a maximum charging capacity of 442kWh, allowing for a maximum range of 370 kilometres (230 mi) on a single charge. Regenerative braking can also be used to extend the range of the bus by up to 40%. Both buses use ZF front and rear axles, the former using an independent suspension, as well as ZF electro-hydraulic power steering. The buses use an Electronically Controlled Air Suspension (ECAS) consisting of airbags in the front and rear of the bus, in addition to ZF SACHS shock absorbers.[1][2]

In the United Kingdom, both buses can carry 70 passengers, with the E10 carrying 35 seated and 36 standing passengers and the E12 carrying 39 seated and 31 standing passengers. Wheelchair access is provided on both buses as standard.[1][2]

Operators

A Yutong E12 in Montevideo, Uruguay
A Yutong E12 in Santiago, Chile

The Yutong E12 is popular in the Nordic countries. The city of Roskilde in Denmark received its first Yutong buses in 2019, replacing its diesel bus fleet with 20 E12s.[5] The cities of Copenhagen and Odense in Denmark, as well as Bergen in Norway, who all have bus services run by Keolis soon followed, with each city receiving deliveries of Yutong E12s throughout 2020 and 2021;[6][7][8] an E12 demonstrator was trialled by Keolis in the French city of Orléans in 2017, however no orders have since resulted in France.[9] 14 Yutong E12s were also delivered for service in Iceland's capital city of Reykjavik in November 2018,[10] while 35 E12s were delivered to both the Finnish capital of Helsinki and neighbouring Kerava in 2019.[11][12]

In Poland, nine E10s were delivered to the city of Polkowice in 2021,[13] twelve E12s were delivered to the city of Łomża in 2022,[14] and 20 E12s have been ordered by the city of Białystok.[15] E12s have also been delivered to Bulgaria, with 20 E12s delivered to the capital Sofia in December 2018 and 14 delivered to Pleven in December 2021, enabling the latter to be Bulgaria's first city with an all-electric bus fleet.[16][17] 250 Yutong E12s are set to enter service in the Greek cities of Athens and Thessaloniki from Spring 2024 as the first of 1,300 electric buses planned to be operated across the country.[18][19][20]

100 Yutong E12s were ordered for bus operators in Santiago de Chile in 2018, as part of a scheme seeking to electrify the city's bus network by 2050,[21] while in Uruguay, as part of a scheme to begin replacing 150 diesel buses in the capital Montevideo, ten Yutong E12s were delivered to operators across the city in April 2020: four E12s were delivered to COETC, three were delivered to COMESA and another three were delivered to UCOT.[22][23][24]

Singapore's Land Transport Authority took delivery of 20 E12s as part of an order of 60 electric single-decker buses for the city in April 2020.[25][26]

In Australia, the Yutong E12 has proven popular with many bus operators nationwide who opted to trial the vehicle. Nine Yutong E12s were delivered to Interline Bus Services from April 2021, a small fleet was delivered to Transit Systems NSW,[27] and eight E12s began entering service with ACTION of Canberra from February 2023,[28][29] followed by a further 90 E12s in June 2023.[30] E12s were also ordered by New Zealand operator Go Bus Transport, with nine delivered to Auckland for its 'Airporter' services serving Auckland Airport in January 2021 and an additional three delivered for services in Christchurch later in the year,[31][32] followed by the delivery of eleven E10s to Ritchies Transport for city services in Dunedin in early 2024.[33]

United Kingdom

A Cardiff Bus Yutong E12 in Cardiff, Wales

Yutong E10s and E12s, as well as other Yutong products, have been sold in the United Kingdom through the Pelican Bus dealership in Castleford since 2018, where a new showroom and workshop for the final assembly and technical support of Yutong buses and coaches opened in January 2023.[34][35][36] The company is also partnered with battery supplier Zenobe, who assist in installing charging infrastructure and providing new batteries for electric bus operators.[37]

The first ten Yutong E10s ordered for the United Kingdom market[38] entered service with Go North East in November 2020. These Yutongs were branded as Voltra buses for services on routes 53 and 54 between Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead, with the launch preceded by a major marketing campaign by Go North East,[39] and were delivered with high-specification interiors and exterior LED lighting designed by Best Impressions.[40][41][42] Go North East would subsequently take delivery of nine E12s delivered to Voltra specification for use on the QuayCity Q3 service in September 2022.[43][44] Nine E10s were also delivered to First Leeds in 2020, entering service on a route serving the Halton Moor district of Leeds in October.[45][46][47]

In Leicester, fifteen E12s were ordered by Leicester City Council, with eleven delivered to Roberts Travel Group in February 2021 for use on the city's park & ride services and the remaining four delivered to Centrebus in June 2022 for 'Hospital Hopper' services to the University Hospitals of Leicester.[48][49][50] Centrebus would subsequently take delivery of six E10s in October 2022, the first zero-emissions buses to be delivered through a Department for Transport-funded Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas (ZEBRA) scheme, for use on its 'Orbital' network across Leicester; a further fourteen electric buses are planned to be delivered for this service.[51][52] Nottingham City Transport, meanwhile, took delivery of twelve E12s in early 2024 as part of the electrification of the operator's single-deck fleet,[53] with a further 36 E10s and E12s due for delivery between April 2024 and March 2025.[54]

The Stagecoach Group first took delivery of 25 Yutong E10s for their Stagecoach Highlands in early 2023 for use in Inverness.[55] Stagecoach Yorkshire is to take delivery of 23 E12s to be based from their Rawmarsh depot in early 2024, with Stagecoach North East to follow with an order for 19 E12s equipped with pantograph chargers for service in Sunderland.[56]

Shortly before the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scottish bus operator McGill's Bus Services received 55 E12s,[57][58] which were followed by 41 more of the type, 31 of these being E12s and the remaining ten being McGill's first short E10s, in March 2023; McGill's Yutong electric fleet of 96 buses is the biggest order so far of Yutong electric buses in the United Kingdom.[59][60] Elsewhere in Scotland, First Aberdeen took delivery of 24 E12s for delivery in early 2023, all entering service with the operator in July 2023, with some of the buses initially loaned to First Glasgow.[61][62]

In Wales, after purchasing a demonstrator vehicle from Yutong in 2019, Newport Bus ordered 14 E12s in 2020, the first electric buses to be purchased by a Welsh bus operator.[37][63] Further deliveries of Yutong E12s as well as E10s between 2022 and 2023 would take Newport's total fleet of Yutong electric buses to 44 by May 2023.[64][65][66] E12s also entered service with Cardiff Bus in December 2021, with 36 being delivered with special branding for routes around Cardiff; an E12 from this batch was painted into a heritage livery celebrating 120 years of public transport in the Welsh capital.[67][68] Eight E12s were delivered for the electrification of the TrawsCymru T1 service serving Aberystwyth and Carmarthen in March 2023,[69][70] while six E12s were delivered in 2021 for use on the T22 service, serving Caernarfon and Blaenau Ffestiniog via Porthmadog,[71] however their entry into service with Llew Jones Coaches was delayed to February 2024 due to the lack of a bus depot with charging infrastructure to house the buses; some of these E12s were also scheduled to enter service on the T19 service between Blaenau Ffestiniog and Llandudno, however during the delay, the T19 ceased operations on 11 February 2023.[72]

Smaller operators of Yutong E10s on closed-door contract services include Passenger Plus of Tadworth, who took delivery of four E10s for use on a corporate staff shuttle between Feltham railway station in west London and Sunbury-on-Thames,[73] Scottish Power, who took delivery of a single seatbelted E10 in December 2020, the first such bus to enter service in Scotland, to transporting visitors to the visitor centre of the Whitelee Wind Farm,[74] Stagecoach Midlands, who took delivery of a single E10 in July 2021 for use on a National Grid employee shuttle contract between Leamington Spa and the company's Warwick Technology Park headquarters,[75] and CT4N of Nottingham, who took delivery of two for use on a shuttle service to the East Midlands Gateway.[76] Transdev Airport Services took delivery of 17 of the UK's first Yutong E12s built to dual-door configuration in December 2023, commencing operations on airside shuttle services at Heathrow Airport in February 2024.[77]

Incidents

In Italy, three Yutong E12 buses operated by La Linea s.p.a. in the Mestre borough of Venice have been involved in three distinct incidents, one of which was fatal. The first incident occurred in on 16 June 2023, and according to the driver's statement, was a result of unresponsive brakes. No casualties were reported in this occurrence. The second incident took place on 3 October 2023, when the bus fell off a viaduct, resulting in 21 deaths and 15 injuries. On 14 October 2023, another bus from the company collided with the pillar of a building, causing 13 injuries. At present, all La Linea company bus services are temporarily suspended, and investigations into the second and third accidents are underway.[78][79][better source needed]
