Yutong has opened its first comprehensive service center in Europe in Stokke, Norway, while also presenting the new Yutong U18 BRT battery-electric articulated bus for the Norwegian and European markets.
The Yutong Norway Service Center, located at Borgeskogen in Stokke, covers 38,941 square metres and combines repair, vehicle testing, spare parts and technical training activities. According to information released by Yutong, the facility will provide services directly from the manufacturer to Norwegian customers while complementing the company’s other local service channels.
Yutong registered Yutong Bus (Norway) AS in 2025. The new center provides local capabilities dedicated to battery-electric bus maintenance, inspections, spare parts management and technical training for operators and maintenance personnel.
The opening of the Stokke facility comes alongside Yutong’s established presence in Norway and its current position in the European battery-electric bus market. In July 2026, around 235 battery-electric buses entered service in Vestfold under Tide Buss. Yutong had already supplied 102 battery-electric buses for operations in Bergen for Keolis, just to name one of the major deliveries in the region.
