As Australia continues its journey towards net zero emissions, evolving sustainability standards are making one thing clear: If operators want to stay future-ready they must begin this transition to electric fleets. At VDI, we know this shift is about more than just replacing diesel with electric, it requires careful planning around infrastructure, route suitability, and long-term performance. That’s why we provide class-leading electric buses backed by expert support, helping operators make the switch with confidence. Together, we’re keeping Australia moving towards a greener, healthier, and more sustainable future.
Ensures that your fleet meets Australian emission standards and is future-proofed for policy changes
A quick and immediate way to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions whilst improving operational efficiency
With lower fuel and maintenance costs, increase operational efficiency with an electric fleet.
These buses have proven to be a reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solution for public transport operations. The energy efficiency of the E12 has resulted in significant cost savings compared to traditional diesel buses.
Yutong has been one of the world’s largest electric bus manufacturers since 1999. To date, Yutong has sold over 196,000 new energy buses worldwide. A premium quality product with a proven track record, and is backed by a nationwide dealer network.
All Yutong electric buses are equipped class-leading battery technology and advanced features like Yutong’s independently developed YEA and YESS safety system to ensure upmost reliability, safety, and durability no matter the route.
Yutong's advanced electronic safety system protects against fire, water, shock and collision hazards to ensure the safety of passengers and the battery system.
Independently developed by Yutong, YEA works to fully integrate both the buses hardware and software for seamless and worry-free operations.
Yutong's electric buses use class-leading battery technology from the world's largest EV battery provider to ensure upmost reliability.
Over the course of the past two years, our battery electric buses have taken part in Transport for NSW’s Zero Emission Regional Bus Trials. These trials have delivered valuable insights into how electric buses hold up against tough terrain, proving that our buses not only meet operator expectations but exceed them.
Yes, our electric buses are engineered to travel long distances with ease thanks to their powerful batteries that specifically designed to withstand a range of harsh and uncertain terrain.
Yes, the E12 is the perfect environmentally conscious option for public transport operators as it seats up to 44, is equipped with advanced safety features, and provides passengers with an accessible and comfortable journey.
To calculate the charging time for your battery electric bus you must calculate as follows: Charging time (hrs) = battery size (kWh) / charger power (kW).
Yutong has been the world’s largest electric bus manufacturer since 1999. To date, Yutong has produced over 150,000 electric buses world wide. A premium quality product with a proven track record, and is backed by a nationwide dealer network.
Our battery electric buses use electricity to power the battery. This means no internal combustion engine, no oil changes, no exhaust fumes and fewer carbon emissions.
The E Series Permanent Magnet Motors are rated at 215 KW power and 2400.m torque. Our smart control system provides multiple driving models for various travel requirements. The E12 provides lower energy consumption with advanced technologies including regenerative braking, which extends the vehicles driving range.
Among the features are a lightweight aluminum alloy battery, integrated controller and motor drive system controller. The E series has been built for fast charging, housing the European standard (IEC61851) 120w DC charging outlet, which allows the battery to charge within 3hours from minimum battery power status.
