Tell us a bit about your company?

Pelican is the sole UK and Ireland importer and distributor of Yutong. Like many of our customers, Pelican is a fourth generation family business that places customer care at the heart of everything we do. Founded in 1919, three generations of the family currently work in the business.

Tell us about your latest product(s), service(s), promotions or launches visitors can hope to see on your stand?

Pelican Bus & Coach will have an outstanding stand at this year’s Euro Bus Expo 2024! We will be showcasing six Yutong vehicles, highlighting our commitment to innovation, quality and sustainability in the bus and coach industry. The vehicles will be: GTe14 Electric Intercity Coach; GT12 Touring Coach; TC9 Midi Coach; U11DD Double Deck Bus; E12 Bus and the E9L Bus.

But that’s not all – we are introducing a unique experience for visitors with our dedicated VR area. The VR headsets provide the opportunity to experience the Yutong vehicles driving stability and safety in different operating scenarios. This cutting-edge VR experience will take viewers through a high speed loop test, a comprehensive road condition assessment, a rain test and a test on how the vehicles handle steep inclines. Additionally viewers will be virtually guided through the Yutong vehicle assembly line, giving them an unparalleled, first-hand look at the meticulous safety measures which are prioritised in every aspect of the manufacturing process.

There is also the chance to win a 3,355 piece Yutong bus model kit in our daily draw. Simply leave your business card at our stand for a chance to take home this exclusive collectible. While you are there explore everything Pelican and Yutong have to offer, including our exciting VR experience.
