The 20 electric buses include eighteen 11m coaches and two 10m city buses used for picking up tourists in Macau. The 11m coach is designed specifically for Macau; its IP68 protective level makes it impervious to water for 24 hours, even when submerged, makes it perfect for the rainy and stormy days that are typical in Macau. The 10m city bus, originally designed for the European market, comes with Yutong's "BusEYE Pro" driver assistance system. The system features four major functions, forward collision warning, pedestrian collision warning, headway measurement warning and lane departure warning. The battery system for the two models will keep the vehicles running even if stuck in traffic for long periods of time.

In addition, we have four service stations in Macau that can cover almost every Yutong electric bus in operation," said Jin Yong, General Manager of Asian Division of Yutong Bus.
