The Lusail e-bus depot is made up of 24 multi-functional buildings that cover an area of more than 400,000 square metres. It holds the Guinness World Record for the world's largest electric bus depot, with a capacity of 478 e-buses capable of supporting public transportation during the Qatar World Cup and providing visitors and the general public with a one-of-a-kind green travel experience.

The Minister of Transport of Qatar, HE Jassim Seif Ahmed al Sulaiti, stated that the Lusail e-bus depot is the largest of its kind in the world, and that following a successful World Cup, Qatar will be the first country in the world to rely on clean energy for large-scale public transportation.

Yutong

According to reports, the Qatari Ministry of Transport and Mowasalat will authorise Yutong to manage and maintain the Lusail depot after it is officially opened, and Yutong's international operation and maintenance team will be stationed there to provide full life cycle management of electric buses, including PDI inspection, daily maintenance, fault diagnosis, technical guidance, remote support and so on.

As the world strives for energy conservation, emission reduction, and carbon peak, Qatar vigorously develops green and low-carbon industries in order to promote socioeconomic green transformation and the green development strategy.

Yutong

Yutong Bus has become the No.1 supplier of e-buses in Qatar, winning the unprecedented large-batch ordering of Chinese new energy buses for an international sports event, thanks to high-quality products, strong after-sales support, and technical expertise. The green team of 888 Yutong battery electric buses will be the first to serve as the backbone of public transportation during an international top football event, with e-buses accounting for 25% of total supporting vehicles.

Yutong’s professional service that focuses on details has let Yutong brand shine in the preparations for the FIFA event, and it has also contributed to the reputation of Chinese service providers on its path to set a new milestone for China’s service “going global”.
