since last year, china's new energy passenger car exports have been strong. but before that, china's new energy bus exports have always been strong.

from january to august this year, china exported 7,503 new energy buses, a year-on-year increase of 2.0%. the leading brands in export were byd and yutong bus, both of which achieved double-digit sales growth.

the reason why china's new energy buses are popular is first of all their high cost-effectiveness.

on the one hand, bus manufacturing cannot use a large number of automatic assembly lines like passenger cars. due to the large use of manpower and the advantages of the industrial chain, the cost of buses manufactured in china is extremely competitive.

on the other hand, byd and yutong are focusing on new energy technologies and leading in battery and new energy technologies. however, the strict requirements of foreign customers on the quality and safety of electric buses also make the export of chinese brands not smooth.

therefore, in addition to high cost performance, there must be breakthroughs in new energy technologies. the latest technology is a breakthrough in the software and hardware integrated technology platform for pure electric buses.

recently, yutong held the yea green exploration tour series of activities in brisbane, australia, and officially released the yea technology. yea is yutong's self-developed pure electric bus hardware and software integrated technology platform, the core of which includes the self-developed cross-domain fusion c architecture and the self-developed vehicle operating system yos.

the technical features of the yea platform include integrating an efficient electric drive system to improve vehicle performance and economic efficiency. it also greatly improves vehicle stability and safety through an intelligent management system. currently, the new energy vehicle models of the yea platform include yutong e7s, e12, c12e, etc. these models have significantly improved their endurance, energy consumption and maintenance costs.

in addition to exporting complete vehicles, domestic brands also choose to cooperate with local companies to assemble buses. for example, yutong and local partners in australia jointly realized the dkd assembly of the e12 model, and yutong cooperated with volgren, a well-known local body manufacturer, to produce a new bus model based on the pure electric chassis.

in addition to regular-sized buses, domestically produced small buses are very popular. for example, yutong e7s micro-circulation electric buses have also begun to enter the asia-pacific market. this product has been released in europe and the middle east before, and has been put into regular operation in qatar. this model is designed for urban feeder lines and is an ideal model for driving in narrow city streets and crowded areas.

it seems that in the past two years, china's electric buses have also begun to win by "technology".
