Cuban State Council Vice President Carlos Lage Tuesday praised the high quality of Yutong buses being supplied by China to this Caribbean island.

Lage said that at the end of 2007, some 1,142 buses are expected to arrive in Cuba from China to be used for urban transportation.

Over 500 Yutong buses have landed in Cuba so far this year and more will continue to arrive in the country in the next three years as part of a bilateral accord, Lage said at Havana's San Augustin bus station.

The Yutong group is one of the world's largest automakers, with a 22,000-unit annual production and US$8 billion sales.

In early 2006, Cuba negotiated with China the purchase of 8,000 vehicles, including the Yutong buses, which have been praised as "excellent" by Cuban leader Fidel Castro for their low fuel consumption and high quality.

Other bilateral negotiations in the transport sector include supplying Cuba with 2,500 horse-power locomotives, firefighter trucks and other vehicles.

Apparently, the Yutong bus has been very well received and is revolutionizing the mass transportation system in Cuba.

Yutong, Alcoa to roll out eco-friendly bus in Aug

Shanghai, July 16 (Gasgoo.com) China's leading bus-maker Zhengzhou Yutong Group Co. and world-famous aluminum producer Alcoa Inc. announced on July 12 that they would jointly launch an environmentally friendly bus model (code-named ZK6126HGE) in August, auto.sohu.com reported yesterday. The bus model uses a lot of aluminum materials to lose its weight by 46% and to lower its fuel consumption.

A research result released by German IFEU (Institute for Energy and Environmental Research) in 2007 said that a diesel bus could save up to 2,550 liters of diesel as well as lower the CO2 emissions in its running period if the bus weight could be cut by 100kg.

"We target to cut more than 1,000kg off each bus together with Yutong Group," said Robert S. Wetherbee, Vice President of Alcoa's Market Strategy. "Actually, we have reduced 1,400kg from a 12-meter-long city bus, an 11.6% weight loss for the bus in empty running,” he added.

The all aluminum bus can get 46% lighter in weight than a conventional bus. Robert believed the higher fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions brought by the bus weight loss will surely promote China’s energy-saving move and improve the environment.

Zhengzhou Yutong Group Co. is a large-scale Chinese enterprise with bus making as its core business, engineering machinery and real estate as its strategic business, and at the same time giving attention to other investment portfolios.

Alcoa is the world's producer and provider of primary aluminum, fabricated aluminum and alumina facilities, and is active in all major businesses of the industry.
