ZHENGZHOU, China — Yutong Bus (SHA: 600066) has launched its international version of Yutong Link+, an advanced Internet of Vehicles (IoV) platform designed to deliver intelligent fleet management, operational efficiency, and lifecycle services for global customers.
An upgrade of the company’s earlier Vehicle+ platform, Yutong Link+ combines AI, big data, and IoT connectivity to create a one-stop solution for electric and new energy bus operators. The platform offers continuous monitoring, proactive risk detection, intelligent scheduling, and efficiency-driven service capabilities.
Intelligent Monitoring and Risk Prevention
Yutong Link+ provides real-time tracking of vehicles and 100+ components, enabling operators to remotely monitor fleet health. One-minute automated inspections identify potential risks early, enhancing safety and reliability.
Smart Management Tools
The platform integrates geo-fencing for speed limits, remote A/C cabin control, and optimized off-peak charging schedules, helping operators reduce costs while maintaining passenger comfort. By analyzing energy consumption patterns, Link+ provides data-backed strategies for operational improvements.
Enhanced Efficiency Services
With an AI-driven assistant, operators gain instant fault detection and repair guidance. Fleets can access a database of over 480,000 genuine OEM parts, use transparent online ordering, and book certified engineers with one click, reducing downtime and improving service delivery.
Case Study: VOY Santiago in Chile
Public transport operator VOY Santiago SpA, which manages 214 Yutong electric buses, reported major gains after adopting Link+. By shifting from manual checks to Link+ real-time monitoring, inspection times dropped from 4–5 days to just 10 minutes.
In energy management, standardized air-conditioning settings (22°C, 50% fan speed) cut daily energy consumption by 1,848 kWh. At Chile’s electricity rate of 127 pesos per kWh, the operator saves nearly 49.31 million Chilean pesos annually during peak seasons, while ensuring consistent passenger comfort.
Security and Compliance
Yutong emphasized that Link+ meets stringent data security and compliance standards. The system is certified under ISO27001 & ISO27701, holds EU CSMS certification, and several Yutong models have received R155 model VTA information security approval.
With Link+, Yutong is reinforcing its role as a leader in intelligent fleet solutions, helping transport operators worldwide enhance efficiency, cut costs, and maintain safety standards.
