Brisbane, 23rd September 2024 – The successful conclusion of Yutong Green Travel Week marked a significant step forward in promoting sustainability and eco-friendly transportation across Brisbane. Organised by Asia Media in collaboration with key partners, the event ran from 17th to 22nd September and gathered eco-conscious leaders, advocates, and the public to raise awareness for green travel options in the city.
Charles Hwang, Yutong’s Managing Director for Australasia, inaugurated the event with an impactful speech, reaffirming Yutong’s dedication to reducing urban carbon emissions through innovative electric buses. “Yutong is committed to creating a greener future for Brisbane and the world. Our electric buses are a vital part of making cities cleaner and more sustainable,” said Hwang.
Adding depth to the event’s mission was Olympia Kwitowski, Face of the Australian Women and Children Protection and Development (AWCPD), who shed light on AWCPD’s collaboration with Yutong. “Our One Square Metre of Sunshine initiative is about inspiring families to create their own small veggie patches, linking the idea of sustainability with wellness,” Kwitowski explained, further reinforcing the message of individual responsibility in environmental stewardship.
Throughout the week, the event featured a variety of community-engagement activities, including interactive booths, free gifts, and the opportunity to explore Brisbane using Yutong’s eco-friendly electric buses. Stacey Thomson, a well-known environmental advocate and event emcee, energised the crowd and guided participants through the festivities, encouraging the community to rethink their transport choices for a greener future.
Asia Media played a pivotal role in the event’s smooth execution, handling the coordination of partners and logistics. With support from the Brisbane City Council, the event not only demonstrated Yutong’s advanced electric buses but also engaged citizens in meaningful environmental discussions.
As Yutong Green Travel Week comes to a close, the message remains clear: sustainable urban living starts with everyday choices. Yutong and its partners, including Asia Media, are proud to drive this conversation forward, inspiring change one bus ride at a time.
