The exclusive dealer for Yutong brand in the sultanate, Moosa Abdul Rahman Hassan & Co will also be looking to incorporate school buses in its portfolio. Meeting US safety standards, Yutong began its development of special school buses offering a solution to ensure safety of pupils in early 2005. It went on to become the number one school bus brand in China with the launch of the first ‘long-nose' front-engine school bus in the industry.
Subsequently, Youtong was involved in drafting the first compulsory national standards for school buses in China, becoming the pioneer in designing school buses. Yutong is the leader in China's bus industry, owning the world's largest manufacturing base of large and medium-sized buses, covering two plants of 1.13mn and 1.33mn sq m with a daily capacity of over 310 buses, officials said.

Yutong is authenticated with the ISO/TS16949:2002 quality management system – one of the most stringent standards in the bus segment of the automotive industry, becoming the only one in China's bus industry to get the certificate. Officials said Yutong has invested heavily in research and development.
In 2008, the only scientific research institute around world that specially focuses on experimental study of buses was set up to provide accurate test data for the research and development of buses thus effectively ensuring the quality of products.
Yutong has established a complete 5m-25m product line up consisting of entry-level, medium-level and high-level products, covering various segment markets including highway passenger transit, tourism and public transport.
Yutong currently exports to over 110 countries. It has been awarded a WVTA (Whole Vehicle Type Approval) certificate of EU and has started to enter the European market.
