Yutong presented battery-electric buses and EV technologies at Next Mobility Exhibition 2026 in Milan, focusing on long-life components, integrated electric architecture, and fleet digitalization. Four battery-electric vehicles were shown for the European market: the IC12E intercity bus, the U10 and U18 urban buses, and the E7S mini-electric bus. The EV Long-life Tech platform centered on traction battery lifecycle, electric motor efficiency, and integrated power electronics. The battery system was designed for a 15-year service life or 1.5 million kilometers, using lithium iron phosphate chemistry with low-lithium-consumption graphite and flat positive electrode particle distribution to slow degradation. The batteries were claimed to exceed ten thousand cycles and include corrosion resistance testing under high-salt and high-humidity conditions, plus waterproof protection measures.
"Yutong presented its latest battery-electric buses and EV technologies at Next Mobility Exhibition 2026 in Milan, with a focus on long-life components, integrated electric architecture and fleet digitalization. NME took place from May 13 to 16 at Fiera Milano Rho in Milan, Italy. At the exhibition, Yutong showcased four battery-electric vehicles for the European market: the IC12E intercity bus, the U10 and U18 urban buses, and the E7S mini-electric bus."
"The company placed particular emphasis on its "Yutong EV Long-life Tech" platform and related technologies for battery durability, drivetrain efficiency and vehicle integration. The technological focus of Yutong's participation at NME 2026 was the "Yutong EV Long-life Tech" package, developed around traction battery lifecycle, electric motor efficiency and integrated power electronics. According to the company, the battery system is designed for a service life of 15 years or 1.5 million kilometres."
"The battery technology uses lithium iron phosphate chemistry and includes flat distribution of positive electrode particles together with low-lithium-consumption graphite to slow degradation. Yutong states that the batteries achieve a cycle life exceeding ten thousand cycles. The system is also designed for corrosion resistance under high-salt and high-humidity operating conditions, including de-icing salt exposure testing and cyclic salt spray testing."
"The company also highlighted waterproof protection measures. According to Yutong, the battery system can withstand immersion in one metre of water for 48 hours following combin"
