What Happened
In March 2026, Yutong Bus Co., Ltd. unveiled the H10 hybrid bus at EXPO FORO in Mexico. The vehicle, equipped with DMT technology, aims to address the challenge of balancing cost, efficiency, and reliability in Mexico's evolving public transport sector. Real operational data from Mérida and Veracruz shows the H10 achieves a comprehensive fuel consumption of approximately 27L/100km, delivering over 30% fuel savings compared to conventional diesel buses of the same class.
“Compared with 100% diesel buses, hybrid buses deliver a 50% performance improvement, which directly translates into economic benefits.”
“Without a doubt, if I were to purchase another batch of buses today, my choice would be Yutong.”

The H10 also features a 700MPa high-strength steel frame with cathodic electrophoresis for enhanced corrosion protection in Mexico's humid coastal climate. Drivers and passengers praised the vehicle's comfort, including air-conditioned seats, massage functions, and low noise levels.
Why this matters
The H10 hybrid offers a cost-effective, fuel-efficient solution for Mexican public transport as the country transitions to electric mobility, balancing efficiency and reliability.
