The first batch of 25 10m new LNG buses of Qujing Public Transport Corporation (QPTC) in 2012 had gone into operation on January 25, and 42 more will be put to use afterwards, making QPTC Yunnans first public transport company that has equipped buses with Yuchai LNG engines.

QPTC and Qujing Gas Co., Ltd. jointly established Qujing Xinyuan Vehicles Gas Co., Ltd. in mid-August 2010. QPTC planned to introduce new energy buses in accordance with state regulations in 2012 to replace existing traditional buses. During the visit to QPTC, Yuchais Yunnan office actively introduced use and matching of Yuchais clean energy product LNG engine and hybrid powertrain system, and compared LNG engines with similar products in the market. Data showed Yuchai products enjoy superiority in energy conservation and are competitive in market operation cost and post maintenance. QPTC acknowledged the cutting-edge service concept and outstanding service support capacity of Yuchais service outlet, sympathized with Yuchais philopshy of green power and harmony win-win and concept of responsibility for customers, and eventually decided to choose Yuchai 6J LNG engines for all 67 10m new energy buses.

Under the nations requirement for using clean new energy in buses in 2012, Yuchais competition with other major engine manufacturers in the bus new energy market will become increasingly fierce. As Yunnans second largest public transport company, QPTC owns 780 buses ranging from 10m to 12m. This batch of 67 buses equipped with Yuchai LNG buses is also Qujings first batch of new energy buses and is of great guiding significance to Yunnans public transport market.
