UK transport and cyber-security officials are investigating whether hundreds of Chinese-made Yutong buses operating across Britain could be remotely controlled by their manufacturer. The probe follows Norwegian findings that Yutong buses could theoretically be "stopped or rendered inoperable" through over-the-air software updates via mobile networks. Yutong buses run in Bristol, Essex, Leicester, Nottingham, and other UK locations. The company has exported nearly 110,000 buses to over 100 countries, capturing 10% of the global market. Denmark also launched an investigation after Norway's discovery. While there's no evidence of actual interference, the case highlights growing concerns about Chinese involvement in British infrastructure and the security risks of connected vehicles. **Source:** [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/nov/10/uk-transport-cyber-security-chiefs-investigate-chinese-made-buses)
