As the FIFA World Cup 2026 approaches, Mexico City is overhauling its public transport fleet to welcome the expected surge of global fans, and Chinese bus manufacturer Yutong Bus is at the center of that effort.

The city has assembled 800 new energy buses for the tournament, over 95 percent of which are Chinese-made. Yutong, based in Henan province, accounts for 85 percent alone, according to Henan Daily.

The procurement includes 12 nine-meter pure electric buses and 19 trolleybuses for short-distance routes, alongside 26-meter pure electric articulated buses — dubbed "land trains" — capable of carrying up to 270 passengers, the equivalent of three standard buses.
