The Yutong TCe12, sold as the Yutong ICe12 in continental Europe,[3] is a battery electric coach manufactured by Yutong in Zhengzhou since 2017 for international bus and coach operators. It is based on the same technology used in the Yutong E10 battery-electric single-deck bus, having a maximum all-electric range of 200 miles,[1] and can be configured as a school bus.[4]
Whilst it is new to the UK, it is already in service in Paris where over 50 equivalent vehicles have been in operation for the last two years. The European version of this coach (ICE12) recently won the Ecology Label award at Busworld Europe 2019.
