As part of its long-term sustainability strategy, Yutong Bus has announced it is committed to planting one tree globally for every bus added to the fleet.
In 2024, the manufacturer planted over 36,000 trees, with the company aiming to scale reforestation efforts to 47,000 trees in 2025, with a decade-long roadmap to expand globally.

Yutong’s Net Zero Forest initiative is designed to address climate change through a Double Carbon model: accelerating the adoption of zero-emission buses while restoring ecosystems via strategic afforestation.
By aligning each vehicle sale with direct environmental action, the company aims to create a transparent, sustainable value chain that engages customers, partners, and communities in collective climate efforts.
“Sustainability is not just a goal for Yutong. It’s embedded in our DNA through our corporate commitment to Think Eco, Move Green,” Yutong Bus global brand director Jason Huang says.
“Linking every bus on the road to measurable ecological impact allows us to visualize the journey from vehicle production to carbon reduction. Together with our stakeholders, we are driving a greener future for public transport and the planet.”
The 2025 campaign will focus on regions facing urgent ecological challenges with tailored solutions to address local needs, with each project supported by Yutong’s TEAM ZERO Alliance, a coalition of over 40 global new energy bus operators committed to advancing carbon neutrality.
