Yutong new electric light truck released in Almaty, Kazakhstan

With the wide application of new energy technologies around the world, green and intelligent transportation is profoundly changing our production and lifestyle. As a world-leading commercial vehicle group, Yutong held the promotion conference of T5 - a brand new battery electric light truck, in Almaty, the largest city in Kazakhstan. This is also the first time that Yutong's new battery electric light truck has entered the Kazakhstan market. Relevant government personnel from Kazakhstan, key customers of Yutong together with industry media representatives witnessed this historic moment.

Located in Central Asia, Kazakhstan is the largest landlocked country in the world. It has a temperate continental climate, which is relatively harsh. The lowest temperature in winter can reach -40°C, so it is very challenging for the normal operation of battery electric vehicles. The new battery electric light truck Yutong T5 released this time has been "tailored" to local climate characteristics and operating environment, and is committed to leading the brand-new upgrading of green transportation and logistics in local cities.

Yutong T5 battery electric light truck adopts classic Yutong family-style smiling face design, which is both avant-garde and technological sense. The battery life is more than 10% ahead of similar products in the market. Under urban working conditions, it can ensure a short-distance urban logistics operation of 260 km per day, and its excellent driving range has been verified on Yutong's battery electric buses (Yutong E12 pure electric bus can still reach the ultimate driving range of 320 km when the operating mileage exceeds 200,000 km). With efficient fast charging technology, it can be fully charged in 1 hour to meet the daily logistics and transportation needs.

Yutong T5 battery electric light truck adopts higher standards of new energy safety technical requirements. Key components such as power batteries perform well in extremely cold weather and other severe weather, with high reliability and an attendance rate of 99%. The vehicle is equipped with EHB electric wired braking technology, which shortens the braking distance in extremely cold weather and achieves the best braking safety in the industry.

The remote monitoring technology of parts and components is applied to the whole vehicle, realizing the health status monitoring of more than 100 parts and components. Through big data combined with artificial intelligence algorithms, the health status of parts and components can be identified in advance, and a predictive maintenance early warning mechanism for core parts and components has been established, effectively reducing downtime caused by faults.

As a production tool, the cost and economy of light trucks are also priority factors for customers. In Kazakhstan, using Yutong battery electric light trucks can save 5,330 tenge per day compared with traditional light trucks and 2.145 million tenge per year in fuel costs. The benefits are considerable. The warranty period of Yutong's battery, motor and electric controller can reach 400,000 km in 8 years at most, so that customers can use their vehicles without worry.

As a means of green urban logistics transportation, each Yutong pure electric light truck can reduce carbon emissions by 33.8 tons per year, equivalent to 0.17 hectares of afforestation. Every 100 fuel vehicles replaced with battery electric vehicles can reduce carbon emissions by 17 hectares of broad-leaved forest planting.

Yutong has sold more than 180,000 new energy commercial vehicles around the world with a cumulative mileage of over 39.2 billion kilometers. Yutong has also been deeply engaged in Kazakhstan for many years, selling more than 5,000 large and medium-sized buses, making it China's bus brand with the largest local market share of large and medium-sized buses. From 12m natural gas low-entry bus, E12 battery electric bus, school bus and mobile medical vehicle, to Yutong battery electric light truck T5, Yutong has been leading the overall upgrading of green and intelligent local transportation and logistics industry.

Empower higher product value with science and technology, and practice the travel concept with green environmental protection. In the future, Yutong will start from every demand of customers and create better logistics with leading technology, to open a new era of urban logistics in Kazakhstan!
