Chinese automotive manufacturer Yutong has revolutionized Pakistan’s public transportation sector with the launch of its cutting-edge DMT (Direct Motor Drive) and YEA (YEA Electric Architecture) technologies. The recently unveiled landmark event in Lahore showcased four purpose-built electric and hybrid bus models designed specifically for Pakistan’s challenging climate and urban conditions.
The company simultaneously announced a historic agreement with Pakistani operator Wah Industries Limited (WIL) for 400 electric buses – the largest single order of new energy vehicles in the nation’s history. This record-breaking deal signals a major leap forward in Pakistan’s transition to sustainable mobility solutions.
“The government is fully committed to electrifying public transport, a key initiative in implementing our climate change policies,” said Punjab Transport Minister Bilal Akbar Khan during the launch ceremony. “The transition to electric buses is a crucial step in our climate strategy, paving the way for cleaner, more efficient urban transport.”
