most effective way to improve travel efficiency and energy conservation and

emission reduction," which coincides with the green public travel advocated by

industry. It emphasizes the devotion on technological innovations such as new

energy and autonomous driving to accelerate the research and development,

manufacturing, and promotion and application of zero-carbon and smart

commercial vehicles," said Kent Chang, Director of Yutong Overseas Distribution
