Yutong Bus delivers 500 units of V6 van to Latin America

ZHENGZHOU, China: Commercial vehicle manufacturer Yutong Bus has delivered 500 units of its recently released V6 van to Latin America.

This marks a major milestone in Yutong's strategic roadmap in the Latin American market.

"The 500 units of the V6 light commercial vehicle have been gradually deployed across the Latin American market," said Yutong Bus product manager Evan Mao.

The V6 vans feature zirconium electrophoretic coating that ensures the body stays free from structural corrosion for 20 years.

Yutong Bus has completed the first 20-year anti-corrosion test for the whole vehicle, including under extreme working conditions, the first in the industry.

In addition, V6 vans have completed the industry's first 2-million-kilometer operation test.

The reliability testing started in 2023 and has successfully completed 63,000km of a strengthened road trial, with the whole vehicle structure staying intact and no replacement of durable parts and components.

Yutong also pioneered a seating design that fixes passenger seat brackets in the beam to meet the 50kph dynamic collision strength and damage requirements.

The vehicle body is composed of over 55% of high-strength steel, and the key components are made of hot-formed, ultra-high-strength steel with a tensile strength of up to 1,500Mpa, which greatly improves the safety level.

The V6's monitoring system is equipped with multiple cameras for front road conditions, driver behavior, and footstep probes to record and store the footage on the road ahead of the vehicle, the driving space, and the gas pedal in real-time.

It also brings a stable and smooth driving and riding experience with sufficient width, height, and seat spacing for up to 20 seats configured for flexible modification.

Yutong Bus will also introduce an all-electric coach series in the near future.
