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.
