Golden Dragon Electric Buses Advance Green Mobility in Norway

Winning Over the Nordics: Golden Dragon’s Electric Buses Blaze New Trails for Green Mobility in Norway

Xiamen, January 27, 2026 – A senior delegation from Vy Group (Vygruppen AS), Norway’s largest state-owned transport group, recently visited Xiamen to conduct the final inspection and acceptance of five prototype vehicles custom-engineered by Golden Dragon. Led by the Group’s Vice President and the CEO of its bus operations subsidiary, the visit marks a significant milestone in the deepening partnership between the two companies, paving the way for a larger-scale rollout of Golden Dragon’s electric buses across the Nordic region.

A Strategic Partnership with a Nordic Giant Wholly owned by the Norwegian state under the Ministry of Transport, Vy Group is a titan in Northern European logistics, with operations spanning rail, bus, freight, and tourism across Norway and Sweden. Its subsidiary, Vy Buss, stands as Norway’s largest bus operator and a major player in Scandinavia, serving hundreds of millions of passengers annually across public transit, commercial express lines, airport shuttles, and tourism sectors.

Proven Performance in Arctic Extremes Golden Dragon has already established a formidable presence in Norway, backed by over 200 premium orders. These vehicles have earned widespread acclaim for their reliability, maintaining stable operations even in -20°C arctic conditions. Following the 2026 Drammen region tender, the local fleet is set to expand further with the introduction of more Golden Dragon units.

 

Acclaimed by Operators and Drivers The performance of Golden Dragon’s fleet has consistently exceeded expectations. Vy’s Operations Director noted:"The performance has been exceptional. Even during peak summer heat, the climate control system cools the interior rapidly, ensuring comfort under full passenger loads. In dense urban traffic, the precise steering and smooth acceleration provide a first-class handling experience. Our drivers have truly embraced these vehicles."

Seven, a veteran driver with 15 years of experience, added:"Of all the buses I’ve driven over the years, this Golden Dragon model is my favorite. The controls are intuitive, and the responsiveness is immediate. Even on treacherous, icy winter roads, the bus remains remarkably stable and composed."

The Passenger Verdict: Comfort and Sustainability Passengers have also responded with high praise, citing the spacious, brightly lit interiors and soft ambient lighting. Features such as high-visibility yellow handrails and ergonomic seating ensure a comfortable journey, while the zero-emission, pollution-free nature of the electric drive aligns perfectly with local environmental values.

Tailored Solutions for the Nordic Market The five prototype vehicles inspected—ranging from 10-meter and 12-meter to 15-meter models—are precision-engineered to meet the diverse operational demands of the Nordic market. Moving forward, Golden Dragon remains committed to deepening its presence in Norway and expanding throughout the Nordic region, providing world-class green mobility solutions.
