A quiet security check in Norway suddenly turned into a nerve-racking scare for Europe! Dozens of Chinese-made electric buses, meant to zoom cities toward clean transport, hid a jaw-dropping secret. Norway’s capital, Oslo, had proudly rolled out hundreds of electric buses made by China’s Yutong, aiming for a green future. But a routine test uncovered something shocking: the buses could be remotely accessed from China! Imagine someone switching off buses instantly from thousands of miles away. This scary news came from a report by Supercar Blondie. The discovery forced Norway’s public transport authority, Ruter, to act fast. They quickly removed SIM cards from all buses to block any remote interference. But there’s a catch — without SIM cards, the buses cannot receive software updates, which help keep them running smoothly. The authorities were stunned by this tech twist. It wasn’t just Norway worried — Denmark now faces the same panic! Movia, Denmark’s biggest public transport operator, runs 262 Yutong electric buses. Officials are scrambling to see if their buses could also be hacked remotely. Jeppe Gaard, Movia’s Chief Operating Officer, clarified to The Guardian, “This is not a Chinese bus problem. It is a problem for all types of vehicles and devices with Chinese electronics built in.” Meanwhile, Yutong defends itself strongly. The company said it “strictly complies with the applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards,” and that data is encrypted and “used solely for vehicle-related maintenance, optimisation, and improvement.” They added, “No one is allowed to access or view this data without customer authorization.” Even the Danish civil protection agency, Samsik, admitted no remote hacks have been found so far but warned that onboard sensors and microphones could pose risks. They stressed that authorities have already advised transport companies on Chinese bus purchases and are ready to help handle any threats. While brands like BYD and XPeng from China keep growing in Europe, with BYD recently topping sales charts, this incident shakes trust in Chinese electric vehicles. Norway leads the globe in electric car use, with over 97 percent of all cars sold in 2025 expected to be electric. Yet this stunning discovery proves one thing: as green tech races ahead, cybersecurity cannot be ignored. Europe’s dream of clean energy rides on safety as much as batteries. The message is clear—keep your eyes open and your software safer! How will Denmark act next? Stay tuned as this electrifying drama unfolds.
