Manufacturers partners to bring advanced electric bus tech to Australia

Volgren has announced a strategic partnership with manufacturer Yutong to introduce advanced electric bus technology to Australia.

This collaboration aims to enhance the local public transportation landscape, focusing on sustainability and innovative solutions.

As cities across Australia strive to reduce carbon emissions and improve urban mobility, the demand for electric buses is rapidly increasing. Volgren, a prominent bus body manufacturer with a strong presence in the Australian market, will leverage Yutong’s extensive experience in electric vehicle production. Yutong is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of electric buses, known for its commitment to innovation and quality.

The partnership will focus on developing a new range of electric buses specifically designed to meet the unique requirements of Australian cities. These buses will feature advanced technology to improve energy efficiency, reduce operational costs, and minimise environmental impact. This initiative aligns with government goals to transition to cleaner transport solutions and supports the broader objective of sustainable urban development.

Volgren’s Managing Director, Peter Dale, said, “This collaboration allows us to combine local knowledge with global expertise, ensuring we deliver high-quality electric buses that meet the needs of our communities.”

The introduction of Yutong’s electric buses is expected to significantly enhance the public transport experience, offering quieter, cleaner, and more efficient alternatives to traditional diesel buses. As part of the initiative, both companies are committed to providing ongoing support and maintenance to ensure the longevity and reliability of the electric bus fleet.

The Volgren and Yutong partnership marks a significant step towards transforming Australia’s public transport system, promoting a greener future for urban mobility.
