With the continuous rise of China’s manufacturing capabilities and technological advancements, the shift from “export” to “global expansion” in Chinese industries, particularly in the automotive sector, has become an irreversible trend. Data shows that in the first half of 2024 alone, China exported a total of 2.793 million vehicles, representing a year-on-year growth of 30.5%.Among them, second-hand buses also occupy a considerable weight, in recent years, Africa, Central Asia and other places on the increasing demand for second-hand buses, “used bus in Africa”, “used bus in Saudi Arabia” and so on have been a very common search term.
As a pioneer in the global expansion of China’s automotive manufacturing industry, Yutong Bus has been actively developing the Latin American market since 2005. To date, its total vehicle ownership in the region has exceeded 25,000 units, making it the leading Chinese bus brand in Latin America.
In Latin America, Yutong Bus boasts a fleet of over 2,200 vehicles, including nearly 389 new energy buses. With high-quality products and comprehensive green mobility solutions, Yutong has established a strong reputation and a positive brand image in the local market. In addition to new energy buses, traditional diesel buses still occupy a large proportion, and second-hand buses are still a good choice for many people.
To establish a new development landscape, Yutong has been striving to break through by focusing on both “disruption” and “establishment.” While continuously expanding its presence in Latin America’s public transportation sector and consolidating its core bus market, Yutong has also actively leveraged its strong manufacturing capabilities, advanced technologies, and abundant resources. With a comprehensive range of commercial vehicle solutions, including buses, light-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks, and mining trucks, Yutong has deepened its multi-dimensional market coverage and enhanced its cooperation across various segments.
In recent years, with the successive batch deliveries of new energy mining trucks and heavy-duty trucks for operation in Chile. At the same time the export volume of second-hand buses in Nigeria, Tanzania, Congo, Saudi Arabia, Chile is also increasing. Yutong has achieved both “depth” in market penetration and “breadth” in market expansion. Its outstanding product performance and exceptional operational results have earned high praise and recognition from local customers.
Today, the scale of China’s bus exports has reached a considerable number, but it is not enough to reflect the extent of large-scale. This requires Chinese bus overseas people to work harder, work harder, work harder, to achieve higher, faster, stronger scale upgrade, let us look forward to the rise of China bus.
