What Happened
Yutong’s Children’s Road Safety Initiative was held in Kazakhstan, reaching nearly 500 children across six schools in four cities: Almaty, Karaganda, Uralsk and Shymkent. The program uses road safety education sessions, hands-on vehicle experiences and interactive activities to help children learn essential road safety knowledge and develop safer travel habits. Yutong notes that children’s road safety remains a serious challenge worldwide. Since the program was introduced in Kazakhstan in 2022, more than 1,500 local children have benefited from the initiative. The campaign is described by Yutong as not only a campus traffic safety outreach but also an important practice of its deep-rooted local development and corporate social responsibility in Kazakhstan.
- Recognizing traffic signs and understanding emergency exits on school buses.

The Children’s Road Safety Initiative is introduced in Kazakhstan.
The initiative reaches nearly 500 children across six schools in Almaty, Karaganda, Uralsk and Shymkent.
Since entering Kazakhstan in 2005, Yutong has deepened collaboration with local partners to advance greener urban transport, bring healthcare to remote communities and boost local manufacturing capacity. In public transport, Yutong became the first supplier to introduce new energy buses to Kazakhstan, helping the country become the first in Central Asia to widely deploy such vehicles. In Karaganda, it partnered with local businesses to establish a knock-down (KD) assembly plant, integrating technical training into daily production; hands-on instruction covers component installation, wiring harness inspection, welding and vehicle calibration. The plant now independently completes chassis assembly, body welding, painting, final assembly and vehicle inspection. Through local manufacturing and technical training, Yutong says it will continue supporting Kazakhstan’s bus industry with manufacturing capabilities and a skilled local workforce, and will keep working with local partners to contribute to safer, more sustainable mobility in more communities.

The KD assembly plant has increased daily production to three to four vehicles.

Why this matters
The program gives children in four Kazakh cities practical lessons on traffic signs, school-bus emergency exits and vehicle blind spots. It also shows Yutong’s wider local presence: the company has operated in Kazakhstan since 2005, introduced new energy buses, and runs a Karaganda KD assembly plant that directly created nearly 1,000 local jobs.
