So they started to cooperated with Bao Steel. After dozens of years’ development, Bao Steel is the exclusive supplier for Yutong galvanized sheets. As introduced by Mr. Zhang, Yutong is good at communicating with suppliers and they are always ready to try new materials. For example, two years ago, Bao Steel developed high-strength steel with strength advantages and lighter than traditional steels. Many bus builders didn’t want to try use the material for its comparatively high price and redeploys of inner structures. However, Yutong deemed that lightweight technology can effectively save energy can improve sales of their products.
