Stokke, Norway – September 15, 2026 -- Yutong Bus officially opened its first integrated European Service Center in Stokke, Norway on September 8, combining vehicle delivery, after-sales service, spare parts supply and technical training under one roof to support electric bus fleets across Norway.
Facility spans nearly 39,000 square meters with dedicated parts warehouse
The site covers approximately 38,941 square meters, including a 6,074-square-meter building and a 2,300-square-meter spare parts warehouse. The warehouse stocks 4,500 original Yutong part numbers covering batteries, motors, electronic control systems, drivetrains, chassis, steering, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, and interior and exterior components.
