On October 13, 2026, a new batch of YAXING C6E battery-electric low-entry city buses, part of the "Baby Bus" series, departed from Yangzhou for Puyang Zhongyi Public Transport Co., Ltd., in Puyang, Henan Province, China. The vehicles will soon serve local streets and community routes, providing residents with more convenient and environmentally friendly public transportation.
As a key product line developed by YAXING Bus for urban micro-transit, the Baby Bus series has gained market recognition for its reliability, maneuverability, and passenger-friendly design. During China's National Day holiday, YAXING new energy buses also entered service in Urumqi, Xinjiang, including Baby Bus models for local circulation routes and additional 8.5-meter electric city buses. Their flexible operation and comfortable passenger experience have received positive feedback from local residents.
From northwestern China to the Central Plains, YAXING's Baby Bus series continues to support more accessible and efficient urban mobility across different cities.
Purpose-Built for Public Transport in Puyang
The C6E buses delivered to Puyang retain the distinctive dolphin-inspired styling and monocoque body structure of the "Baby Bus" series. Cathodic electrophoretic coating provides enhanced corrosion protection and supports long-term vehicle durability.
To meet the operating requirements of urban commuting and community feeder routes in Puyang, the vehicles have been specifically optimized in terms of electric powertrain performance, road accessibility and passenger convenience.
Reliable Electric Powertrain
The C6E is equipped with a Weichai new energy battery system and battery heating technology. Its core electric components have an IP68 protection rating, providing a balance between energy efficiency and reliable operation in low-temperature conditions.
The vehicle is also fitted with a permanent magnet synchronous water-cooled motor independently developed by YAXING. Its smooth and quiet power output enables the bus to handle varying urban road and weather conditions.
Accessible and Passenger-Friendly Interior
The low-entry structure keeps the entrance step height below 360 mm. A manual wheelchair ramp and designated wheelchair area make boarding easier for elderly passengers and people with limited mobility.
High-back cushioned seats and designated priority seats further improve passenger comfort while adding a more considerate touch to daily public transport.
Intelligent Safety Systems
The vehicle is equipped with a driver behaviour analysis system and a multi-channel intelligent dispatch and monitoring system. These systems can be integrated with the operator's fleet management platform to support more precise and efficient daily operations.
Air disc brakes on both the front and rear axles, combined with an ABS anti-lock braking system, provide multiple layers of protection for safer operation.
Proven Performance in Northwest China
A good vehicle should be able to withstand different geographical and climatic conditions. Since entering service in Urumqi, the YAXING "Baby Bus" has become an important part of the city's feeder bus network, demonstrating its capabilities through stable daily operation.
Urumqi has many narrow community roads and densely distributed secondary streets. Thanks to its compact and agile body, the C6E can travel easily through these areas and provide transport capacity for short-distance journeys.
It brings neighbourhood bus services closer to residents and helps turn the idea of "a bus near your doorstep" into part of everyday life.
Compared with conventional buses, the C6E produces less operating noise and provides a more spacious passenger compartment. It helps connect the "last mile" of urban travel while improving public transport efficiency in residential communities and branch-road areas.
Since entering service, the vehicles have maintained stable operation in Urumqi and received positive feedback from passengers. Many residents have noted that the compact buses offer flexible stopping, easier boarding and a more comfortable daily travel experience.
Supporting High-Quality Public Transport Development
From Northwest China to Central China, the YAXING "Baby Bus" series now includes models in different vehicle lengths for a wide range of operating scenarios.
Its low-entry accessible design and pure electric powertrain can be adapted to different geographical conditions, route networks and passenger-flow requirements. The series is suitable for:
- Urban feeder routes
- Community shuttle services
- Tourist and scenic-area transport
- Town and rural commuter routes
- Short-distance public transport connections
Different cities may have different operating environments, but their expectations for quality remain the same.
The introduction of the C6E "Baby Bus" in Puyang marks another important step for YAXING Bus in Central China's public transport market. It also demonstrates the continued expansion of the series across the country.
Looking ahead, YAXING Bus will continue to focus on customer requirements and advance new energy bus technologies. Through high-quality vehicles and comprehensive service support, YAXING will work with public transport operators to bring greener and more convenient mobility to more urban streets and communities.
