In the increasingly competitive transport industry, better vehicles need excellent drivers to handle them. Yutong is well aware that only the perfect combination of "people" and "vehicles" can achieve real cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Based on this, Yutong launched the ZK6138H fuel-saving competition in June. With "professional training" as the core driving force, it covers five major cities including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar and Multan, and sets up training classes directly on the front line of operations. Drivers from various operators come together to discuss driving skills with Yutong.

The training mainly focuses on the following three points: First, it asks drivers to maintain the best gear and engine speed for different road conditions to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption; The second is to develop drivers' predictive driving skills, teaching them how to observe road conditions in advance, reduce sudden braking, use eddy current retarders to assist braking, and extend the lifespan of brake pads. Third, enhance drivers' ability to conduct daily vehicle inspections and cultivate good inspection habits: strengthen drivers' awareness of daily inspections of engines, tires and pipelines to eliminate potential safety hazards from the source. This "teaching a man to fish" training model will help customers establish a long-term safety and fuel-saving mechanism.

To test the results of the training, practical competitions will be held later. The competition is not a mere competition but an extension of the training. During the race, professionally trained drivers will compete on actual operating routes. Record the changes in average fuel consumption for each rider. This closed-loop model of "training + practice + competition" will also greatly stimulate drivers' enthusiasm for delving into technology.
