Yutong C12PRO Philippines Fuel Saving Challenge: Fuel Consumption per 100 Kilometers Under Complex Road Conditions 12% Lower Than Previous Generation
MANILA, Philippines, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Yutong Bus ("Yutong", SHA: 600066), a global commercial vehicle manufacturer, recently conducted the C12PRO Fuel Saving Challenge on a 524-kilometer round-trip route from Manila to Baguio City, a major corridor in the Philippine passenger and tourism industry. The event, held under real-world operating conditions, aimed to verify the fuel efficiency of the C12PRO, a 12-meter long-distance luxury coach. The challenge addressed three key issues facing the country's passenger transport sector, namely, high fuel prices, prolonged extreme heat exceeding 35 degrees Celsius, and complex, mixed road conditions. The route included 100 kilometers of mountainous roads, 360 kilometers of highways, and 64 kilometers of urban streets. The vehicle carried 22 passengers and a 600-kilogram counterweight. Throughout the test, outside temperatures reached 35 degrees Celsius, with the air conditioning set to a constant 20 degrees, reflecting typical working conditions in the region. Total fuel used was 143.55 liters with a comprehensive fuel efficiency of 3.65 km/liter. The C12PRO demonstrates 12% higher fuel efficiency than the previous generation model. The test measured performance across various driving conditions, with the vehicle averaging 4.39 km/liter on highways, 3.60 km/liter in urban areas, and 2.97 km/liter on mountainous roads. Yutong's C12PRO is equipped with advanced technologies to boost fuel efficiency and performance. Its intelligent computing platform is based on actual road conditions and road map data covering over 100 countries or regions. A proprietary bus industry road map database has been constructed, which can quickly form a power configuration that adapts to the customer's operating conditions, with approximately 2% fuel savings. Another in-house innovation, Yutong's intelligent temperature control system, uses ambient temperature and load data to manage engine cooling more precisely. Featuring waste heat recovery and smart fan control, it improves combustion and cuts fuel use by another 2%. Powering the C12PRO is a high-efficiency, low-speed, high-torque engine next-gen diesel platform. With a B10 life of 1.8 million kilometers, 1900 Nm of torque, the engine delivers strong low-speed power and reduces fuel consumption by 3% or more under real-world conditions. In the future, Yutong will also conduct fuel-saving performance tests on the C-PRO series in the Americas, Africa, and other regions to optimize product efficiency and help global customers reduce costs and increase efficiency.

PwC Middle East sets out roadmap to accelerate Qatar's electric mobility transformation
PwC Middle East has released its eMobility Outlook 2025 – Qatar Edition, presenting a bold, actionable roadmap to accelerate the country's shift toward sustainable transport. Aligned with Qatar National Vision 2030 (QNV 2030) and the Electric Vehicle Strategy 2021, the report charts a course to unlock new value for the nation, redefining mobility, energy, and economic growth. Electric vehicles are gaining traction in Qatar. PwC's report reveals that electric vehicle (EV) sales in Qatar are projected to reach 24% of new vehicle sales by 2035, with Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) making up 14% and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) 9.6%. The shift is driven by national policies, expanding charging infrastructure, and rising demand for low-carbon transport options. Heiko Seitz, Global eMobility Leader and Partner at PwC Middle East, said: 'Qatar is rapidly advancing its sustainable mobility agenda. With strategic public-private collaboration, forward-looking regulation, and targeted investment, the country is laying the groundwork for widescale EV adoption, building a cleaner, smarter, and more resilient transport future.' The report highlights the Ministry of Transport's active role in reshaping mobility over 73% of Qatar's public buses are already electric, and strategic collaborations with global leaders like Yutong, ABB E-mobility, and the Public Works Authority (Ashghal), are laying strong foundations, from vehicle assembly to EV training and service centres. By transitioning to electric and cleaner energy sources, Qatar could reduce transport-related CO₂ emissions by nearly 5% by 2035, even as vehicle volumes rise from 1.7 million to 2.3 million. With EV electricity demand expected to account for less than 1% of total power use by 2035, the nation is well-positioned to meet this demand entirely through renewables. PwC identifies several key levers to drive momentum. First, infrastructure remains a cornerstone. Fast-charging corridors in high-traffic urban and intercity zones will be essential to meet growing demand and ensure ease of access. Second, thermal resilience is vital. Adaptive thermal management systems and continued battery innovation are integral to delivering consistent performance year-round, accounting for high summer temperatures. Third, cost competitiveness is gaining ground. While private EV ownership still carries a higher total cost, commercial fleets in Qatar have already reached cost parity. Bulk procurement, optimised utilisation, and operational incentives help close the cost gap and improve long-term value for fleet operators. Finally, broadening market access is key. More than 90% of vehicles sold in Qatar today are still internal combustion engine (ICE) models. To shift consumer behavior at scale, affordable EV options must enter the market, supported by clear policy signals, financial incentives, and streamlined regulation. With Qatar's first domestic EV brand Ecotranzit already in motion and strong interest from global OEMs, the market is gaining traction. Green financing, tax incentives, and policy clarity are further fuelling the shift. 'Qatar continues to drive forward its sustainability agenda. The transition to electric mobility represents both a strategic imperative and a significant opportunity. With the right mix of innovation, policy support, and investment, Qatar is well positioned to lead the region in building a cleaner, smarter, and more efficient transport ecosystem', Bassam Hajhamad, Qatar Country Senior Partner and Consulting Leader at PwC Middle East in Qatar, added. PwC's eMobility Outlook is a call to action for government, industry, and investors to collaborate, innovate, and move forward together, positioning Qatar at the forefront of the global clean transport transition.
