Yutong Debuts New Generation Battery Electric Intercity Bus IC12E at UITP Summit Hamburg 2025, Showcasing Electrification Innovation
HAMBURG, Germany, June 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Yutong Bus ("Yutong", SHA: 600066), a global commercial vehicle manufacturer, showcased its green public transport innovations under the theme "Think Eco, Move Green" at the UITP Summit 2025, held from June 15-18 in Hamburg Germany. The flagship models included the battery electric intercity bus IC12E and the premium city bus U12.
Yutong IC12E：High Standard Battery Electric Intercity Bus – specifically designed for the European market
Yutong IC12E is specially designed and built for intercity operations in the European market. It comes with the advantages of long driving range, strong power, large capacity and superior quality.
On June 19, the IC12E embarked on a full-scenario challenge across four European countries: beginning in Hamburg, Germany, traversing through Copenhagen, Denmark, Gothenburg, Sweden, and ultimately reaching Oslo, Norway. This journey covers a variety of road conditions, including urban streets, highways, bridges, coastlines, and ramps, thereby fully showcasing the IC12E's exceptional performance and adaptability in diverse environments. The test data shows that over a distance of 1,272 km, with an average energy consumption of as low as 0.7 kWh/km (the vehicle was not fully loaded), demonstrating its extraordinary leading strength in new-energy technology.
During the test, the IC12E successfully completed a 510 km range-challenge between Germany and Denmark, with SOC dropped from 99% to 31%, and remaining range indicated 170 km. In the charging-efficiency test, the SOC rose from 13% to 99% in just 1 hour and 40 minutes when charging with a single gun. In the continuous uphill sections in Norway, the IC12E demonstrated a strong power-performance with a grade ability of 20%.
Yutong U12, a premium battery electric bus engineered for main urban routes
The U12, winner of the Busworld Design Label, features a 12-meter body capable of carrying up to 95 passengers, while incorporating a high-strength, robust closed-ring body structure and YESS battery safety system, combining safety, efficiency, comfort, and intelligent management.
Moving forward, Yutong will continue to create greater value for customers and enhance public travel experiences with green, safe and comfortable mobility solutions.

UK govt climbs down on welfare cuts in latest U-turn
The UK government backed down Friday on controversial plans to slash disability and sickness benefits after a major rebellion by MPs, dealing a blow to Prime Minister Keir Starmer's authority. The climbdown is the third U-turn that Starmer has been forced into making in less than a month, leading to questions about his political acumen and the direction of the ruling Labour party. Only days after Starmer insisted he would plough ahead with the reforms, the government confirmed concessions had been made to 126 rebel MPs who had threatened to scupper the proposed changes. Tue turnaround comes just before Starmer marks the first anniversary of what has been a rocky return to power for Labour after 14 years in opposition to the Conservatives. He said that following "constructive discussion" with Labour rebels his welfare reforms now struck "the right balance". "We've got a package which I think will work, we can get it right," Starmer told broadcasters. The retreat means the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment (Pip) Bill, which contains the welfare reforms, will likely make it through a parliamentary vote due on Tuesday. "It's always best to concede and then get it through in some way, shape or form. This is sort of damage limitation," political scientist Steven Fielding told AFP. The concessions, due to be set out in parliament before Tuesday, include a "staggered approach" to the reforms, care minister Stephen Kinnock said. This means the narrower eligibility criteria proposed will only apply to new claimants, not those already receiving the benefit payments. Starmer's government had hoped to make savings of £5.0 billion ($6.9 billion) as a result of the changes, which have now been partly abandoned. That means finance minister Rachel Reeves will need to find the money elsewhere. - 'Unforced errors' - It has been a bumpy 12 months in office for Starmer during which Reeves has struggled to generate growth from a sluggish UK economy. On June 9, the government declared it had reversed a policy to scrap a winter heating benefit for millions of pensioners, following widespread criticism, including from its own MPs. Less than a week later Starmer -- a former chief state prosecutor in England and Wales -- announced a national inquiry focused on a UK child sex exploitation scandal that had attracted the attention of US billionaire Elon Musk. Starmer had previously resisted calls for an inquiry into the so-called "grooming gangs" that saw girls as young as 10 raped by groups of men, mostly of South Asian origin. He favoured a series of local probes. On Friday, the prime minister also backtracked on a speech given in May in which he warned that the UK was in danger of becoming an "island of strangers" without stricter immigration curbs. "That particular phrase -- no -- it wasn't right," he said in an interview with the Observer newspaper. "I'll give you the honest truth: I deeply regret using it," he added. The prime minister has a massive majority of 165 MPs, meaning he should be able to force whatever legislation he wants through parliament. But many of his own MPs complain of a disconnect between Starmer's leadership, which is focused on combatting the rise of the far-right Reform UK party, and Labour's traditional centre-left principles. "Labour is meant to stand for fairness, and those two flagship mistakes are all about being unfair," Fielding said of the winter fuel and the disability cuts. The rows have overshadowed Labour's tightening of employment rights and its investment in housing and green industries, he added. A YouGov poll of more than 10,000 Britons released this week found that while Labour is losing voters to Reform, it is also forfeiting supporters to the Liberal Democrats and the Greens on the left. "They've been making so many unforced errors," said Fielding, a politics professor at Nottingham University in central England. "I think there is now being a very reluctant recalibration of things." har-pdh-jwp/jj
