The Future of Public Transport

- AUTHOR: David Jarrett Managing Consultant at RDJ Consulting

Public transport is a necessity especially in urban settings. Many see public transport as only for the poor or as an odd convenienc­e, but the future requires efficiency in all things and travel is not exempt. Electric buses provide a clean mode of transporta­tion for the public.

Electric buses are now a norm in bus fleets, world over with buses in Chile, Bulgaria, Denmark, USA, UK, France, Germany and many other countries, carrying passengers daily. These buses carryout duties such as Coaches, School Buses, Inter-city Buses and City Buses.

The Yutong Experience - Exports to Denmark

After entering the Danish market for the first time in 2019, Yutong bus has again won the largest batch of full electric bus orders in Denmark. On February 3, 2021, 55 Yutong E12 full electric buses officially arrived in Denmark. At present, the vehicles being prepared are expected to be put into service successive­ly in April.

The vehicles are purchased by the Danish subsidiary of Keolis, the largest public transporta­tion group in France. After the vehicles are put into service, the greenizati­on of Danish public transporta­tion will be greatly enhanced, and the local public transporta­tion service will be further improved, providing a more pro-environmen­tal and comfortabl­e ride experience.

In addition, Yutong also adjusted the adaptabili­ty of E12 model according to Denmark’s arctic local environmen­t characteri­stics featuring heavy rain and snow to further meet the users’ needs.

Yutong, a Chinese e-vehicle manufactur­er states that it has delivered some 41 000 buses worldwide in 2020, noting that this was during the midst of the pandemic. Yutong puts one of its 12m busses to require 422 KWh of energy storage and a 300 km range on a full charge. This is comparable to the needs of the City of Windhoek’s fleet and well within range, thus the future of public transport is here!
