McGill's Yutong E12 in Glasgow
Yutong came to the UK coach market via dealership Pelican Bus and Coach in 2014, expanded into buses in 2016 or so, and has seen massive growth in numbers since then. It is reckoned that around 850 passenger vehicles from the manufacturer will be registered here in 2025. While the idea of taxpayer subsidy going to a Chinese builder is not to everyone's taste, the reality of the Yutong battery-electric product is that it is highly mature and exceptionally reliable, with 100% availability not unusual. McGill's Bus Group has been an enthusiastic purchaser, first for its core McGill's Buses fleet and now with Xplore Dundee and Midlands Bluebird.
One of the earliest purchase is I 5043 (SG71 OUF), an E12 single-decker. Here it is working a 23 from Glasgow Paisley and turns next to a quintessential Glaswegian bar, The Laurieston.
