The Yutong ZK6115 59-Seat Long-Distance Transport Bus is engineered to redefine intercity travel for both passengers and fleet operators—ideal for regional bus companies running 3-hour, 250km routes between major cities, tour operators managing 5-day cross-provincial sightseeing trips, or public transit authorities connecting rural areas to urban hubs with daily 400km round trips. Powered by a Yutong YC6MK420-60 diesel engine (420 horsepower, 1900 N·m of torque at 1200-1600 rpm), it delivers steady power for highway cruising (maintaining 90-100km/h without strain) while handling mild mountain slopes (common on intercity routes) with ease. Paired with a 6-speed automated manual transmission (AMT), it reduces driver fatigue during 8+ hour shifts by eliminating frequent gear changes, while its optimized aerodynamic design (with a streamlined front fascia and side skirts) cuts wind resistance by 12% compared to older long-distance bus models—directly boosting fuel efficiency. The bus’s 11.5-meter length and 2.55-meter width strike a balance: it fits 59 passengers (including 2 wheelchair-accessible seats) without feeling oversize, and its 12.8-meter turning radius lets it navigate highway rest area parking lots or small urban bus terminals with minimal hassle.
What sets the ZK6115 apart for long-distance travel is its passenger-centric cabin design and durability-focused build. The 59 high-back seats are upholstered in stain-resistant, breathable fabric (with 780mm of legroom per seat—20mm more than industry averages) and feature 3-point seatbelts, adjustable headrests, and under-seat USB charging ports (2 per row) to keep passengers connected during long trips. The cabin is equipped with a 24kW independent air conditioning system (with 10 adjustable air vents) that maintains a consistent 24°C even when outside temperatures hit 38°C, plus a high-efficiency air filtration system to reduce dust and allergens—critical for passengers with sensitivities. For luggage, the bus offers a 12m³ under-floor cargo compartment (large enough for 59 carry-on suitcases plus 20 checked bags) and overhead racks with 15kg weight capacity per section. Underneath, a reinforced ladder-type frame (made from high-strength Q690 steel) and 4-point air suspension system absorb bumps from highway expansion joints or rural road sections, ensuring a smooth ride even on less-than-perfect pavement. It also includes a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD)—key safety features for long-haul reliability.
For fleet operators focused on profitability and low downtime, the ZK6115 delivers exceptional long-term value. Its 400L fuel tank covers 600+ km per fill—enough for a full day of intercity runs without refueling—and the Yutong engine’s intelligent fuel injection system keeps average consumption at 28-30L per 100km (8% lower than comparable 59-seat long-distance buses). Maintenance costs are minimized by Yutong’s global service network: the engine uses 25,000km long-life oil (reducing service intervals), and common wear parts (like brake pads or air filters) are widely available in 120+ countries. The bus also includes a telematics system that tracks fuel usage, engine health, and driver behavior—letting fleet managers optimize routes and reduce operational waste. Inside the driver’s cabin, features like a 10-inch digital dashboard (displaying real-time fuel data and route information), a ergonomic steering wheel, and a fatigue monitoring system (alerting drivers to drowsiness) further support efficient, safe operations. It’s the reliable, passenger-friendly workhorse that helps fleet operators grow their intercity business—without compromising on comfort, efficiency, or long-term durability.
