ZHENGZHOU, China, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 6, the roll-off ceremony of Yutong's new generation U12DD battery electric double decker was held at Yutong Electric Bus Intelligent Manufacturing Factory, Zhengzhou City, China. This model will establish new benchmarks for high-end electric double-deckers, enhancing the public transportation experience and urban sightseeing experiences.
 
Li Jia, Deputy CTO of Yutong High-end and International Engineering, stated that the U12DD launch signifies not just a product upgrade but a strategic practice of Yutong's high-end strategy for new energy buses.
Kent Chang, CEO of Yutong Asia-Pacific, emphasized that this model achieves significant breakthroughs in safety, range, durability and intelligent management, demonstrating Yutong's profound commitment to green mobility solutions.
As a global leader in new energy bus manufacturing, Yutong has exported its new energy products to over 40 countries and regions worldwide, with cumulative sales approaching 200,000 units, consistently driving the global green transformation of public transport. The U12DD battery electric double-decker serves as Yutong's flagship product for international markets, designed to fulfill diverse cities' sustainable transportation needs while providing optimized solutions for challenging operational environments including high-temperature, high-humidity conditions and intensive usage scenarios.
The new generation U12DD battery electric double decker achieves comprehensive upgrades in safety, durability, energy efficiency, comfort and intelligent features.
Enhanced Safety & Reliability
This model achieves a major breakthrough in safety, featuring Yutong's pioneering YESS battery safety protection system. Its battery, motor and electric control all reach the highest protection level of IP68+IP6K9K in the industry. Notably, its all-aluminum body reduces weight by 1,300kg compared to steel counterparts. With SiC silicon carbide controllers and variable-frequency water pumps, energy consumption is cut by 10%. Advanced electrocoating and anti-corrosion technology extend the vehicle's structural lifespan to 20 years or 2 million kilometers.
Superior Energy Efficiency
The U12DD excels in range and operation efficiency, consuming just 0.81kWh/km under SORT2 conditions. Its 621kWh battery enables a 670km range, while standard EU-compliant dual-gun charging (350kW max power) achieves a full charge in just 2 hours.
Optimized Comfort
Featuring a rational three-door, dual-staircase layout, the bus accommodates up to 120 passengers. A high-capacity 52,000kcal/h air conditioning system ensures rapid cooling and consistent comfort.
More Intelligent and User-friendly Operation
Equipped with the Link+ fleet management system and intelligent cockpit system, it enables remote monitoring, precise dispatching, and intelligent operations. The innovative maintenance-free system and split-structure design provide operators with an efficient full-lifecycle solution.
Yutong has always been committed to promoting global green mobility and sustainable development. Its battery electric double-decker, combining exceptional passenger capacity with zero-emission performance, represent an ideal solution for urban public transport upgrades.
In January 2025, 74 Yutong U11DD battery electric double-deckers were successfully delivered to the UK, earning high praise from local operators for their exceptional range, energy efficiency, and safety. The newly upgraded U12DD model will debut in Singapore, marking Yutong's continued progress in the international high end new energy bus market and providing fresh momentum for building greener urban transport systems.

Yutong's New Generation U12DD Battery Electric Double Decker Launches in Zhengzhou

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Roborock, the global leader in home robotics engineered to simplify daily life, became the most awarded Robotic Vacuum Brand at CES 2026, after announcing its new product line-up for the first half of the year. Under the theme "The Greatest Meeting the Greatest", the brand's keynote presentation led by Roborock's President, Quan Gang, unveiled the Saros Rover, the world's first robotic vacuum with AI-powered wheel-leg architecture that can both navigate stairs and slopes with human-like agility while cleaning them.
Announcements also included the Roborock Saros 20, Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, Roborock F25 ACE Pro, and Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow. These launches happened in partnership with Real Madrid Football Club for the Vacuum Cleaner category, announced ahead of the show's starting date.
Roborock also announced separate to the Real Madrid partnership its entry into the US market for lawnmower products, including the new RockMow X1 LiDAR. Consumers, clients, and interested parties can visit Roborock's Booth #52632 at Venetian Expo CES 2026 from January 6 to January 9th during show hours.
Roborock Saros Rover - The World's First Wheel-Leg Robovac
In a world-first, Roborock introduced at CES 2026 the Roborock Saros Rover, featuring the world's first two-wheel-leg architecture in a robovac. Each wheel-leg provides reach, lift, height, and imitates human mobility, enabling the robot to raise and lower each one of the wheel-legs independently, execute small jumps, agile turns, sudden stops, and directional changes, all while maintaining a level body as the ground changes.
At a software level, Saros Rover harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence algorithms, in conjunction with complex motion sensors and 3D spatial information to understand its environment and make its wheel-legs react with precision.
The Saros Rover excels in multi-storey homes, where it is able to clean each one of the steps of a staircase as it goes to the second floor, dramatically reducing "no-go" zones and transitioning into cleaning areas previously inaccessible for homes with a single robovac.
The Saros Rover is able to tackle several types of non-flat surfaces, with staircases being the most obvious one. This includes not only traditional staircases but also curved staircases, or even carpeted staircases with bullnose fronts, all while cleaning each one of their steps as it navigates through them. Other types of surfaces that Saros Rover is able to tackle include slopes as well as complex multi-level room thresholds requiring height and power. Saros Rover is a real product in development with an unconfirmed launch date.
The Greatest Meeting The Greatest - Roborock and Real Madrid Football Club join hands
Announced days before the show's beginning, Roborock presents at CES its first activation within the strategic global partnership with Real Madrid Football Club's First Men and First Women teams, widely ranked as one of the greatest football clubs in history. The partnership is solely related to Roborock's extensive portfolio of Vacuum Cleaner products and excludes other product lines from the brand. Under the umbrella theme of "The Greatest Meeting The Greatest", the partnership responds to a deep affinity between the brand ethos of both organizations, which have achieved remarkable historical performance with innovation as common denominator. The partnership will bring Roborock's smart-cleaning innovations to life through stadium exposure, campaigns and player-led storytelling that translate the meaning of "Real Smart Cleaning" from the pitch to the home.
Roborock's early 2026 Robovac line-up: Roborock Saros 20, Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, and Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow
At its keynote, Clarbi Lu, product marketing lead at Roborock, unveiled new smart cleaning products launching in the first half of the year. Leading the lineup are the Roborock Saros 20 and Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, the latest flagship models in the Saros Series. Saros 20 upgrades the StarSight™ Autonomous System 2.0 with enhanced AI object recognition and a new AdaptiLift Chassis 3.0 for improved threshold climbing. Saros 20 Sonic adds RetractSense™ Navigation, an ultra-slim body, and the VibraRise® 5.0 Mopping System. Both use a 35,000 Pa HyperForce® motor and a new RockDock®. The Qrevo Series also expands with the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow.
Rockmow X1 LiDAR, X1, RockNeo Q1 lead the Roborock North American Roll-Out of Lawnmowers
Roborock has announced its North American expansion into the lawnmower category with three key models. The flagship RockMow X1 LiDAR features Sentisphere™ LiDAR Environmental Perception, 4WD traction, and Active Steering for flawless coverage. Alternatively, the RockMow X1 utilizes RTK and VSLAM navigation alongside a Dynamic Suspension System for industry-leading edge cutting. For smaller gardens, the entry-level RockNeo Q1 makes smart care accessible by combining RTK + VSLAM navigation with Stereo Vision Obstacle Avoidance.
