flag UK warns Chinese Yutong buses may be remotely disabled, but no evidence shows it’s happened.

flag UK security officials warn that up to 700 Chinese-made Yutong electric buses in the UK could theoretically be remotely disabled via internet-connected systems, though no evidence of such use exists. flag The concern, shared by Norway, Denmark, and Australia, centers on SIM card-based maintenance systems, though most UK updates are manual, reducing risk. flag While Yutong denies remote control capability, officials acknowledge the technical possibility and are assessing risks across agencies. flag No legal basis exists to block sales, and officials caution against actions that could strain UK-China relations despite calls for tighter controls on Chinese tech in critical infrastructure.
