At the beginning of 2024, the continental auto market has begun to show signs of recovery. In particular, the commercial vehicle market is not only a key factor in the growth of automobile production and sales, but also a vane of the entire automobile market.
With its strong performance in the field of new energy commercial vehicles, Yutong Company is constantly promoting the upgrading of the industry and building new quality productivity. How this company achieved a breakthrough in a complex and volatile market environment is indeed worthy of in-depth discussion.
Since the beginning of 2024, China's auto market as a whole has shown a warming trend. In particular, in the commercial vehicle segment, production of 560,000 units and sales of 575,000 units have been completed, up 9% and 14.1% y/y, respectively. Although the market has slowed down slightly, the overall trend is still positive.
Yutong, as one of the leaders in China's commercial vehicle industry, has shown extraordinary strength.

The rise of new energy vehicles is a major trend in the global automotive industry. In this wave of electrification, Yutong seized the opportunity and became the backbone of China's new energy commercial vehicle industry.

Yutong's buses and logistics vehicles have become an indispensable part of many urban public transportation systems. These vehicles not only improve transportation efficiency, but also effectively reduce the city's carbon emissions and contribute to the sustainable development of the city.
Yutong's success is not only reflected in the increase in product sales, but also in the improvement of its brand influence. Through high-quality products and services, Yutong has gradually become a trusted brand in domestic and foreign markets. These achievements of the company not only create value for shareholders, but also provide consumers with cost-effective products and services, and at the same time contribute to the sustainable development of society.
The company's future development strategy also clearly points to the direction of intelligence and greening, which is not only in line with the development trend of the global automotive industry, but also in line with the national policy guidance on the development of new energy and intelligent vehicles.
Through the above efforts and layout, Yutong not only occupies a leading position in the domestic market, but also shows strong competitiveness in the international market. The company's internationalization strategy and global market performance have begun to gain recognition and praise from customers and partners around the world.
In this process, the joint efforts of Yutong's leadership team and all employees cannot be ignored.
