VDI Australia has announced that it has officially opened its latest Yutong dealership in Perth, WA as it continues its successful expansion into new markets.
In a ceremony that was attended by local state member and assistant WA transport minister David Michael, VDI made clear its commitment to WA customers, comprising high quality bus products, including a fast expanding electric range, plentiful parts supply and service reliability.
VDI first announced in May that it was planning on opening a new branch in Perth to cater to the growing mining, school and charter markets.
Yutong buses and coaches will be sold and serviced in WA from its newly established VDI outlet at 153 Abernethy Road, Belmont.

“It resulted in three months of flat-out work to get this new dealership set up.”
The team first moved into the new site on January 3 this year, with the new 4,300 square metre site offering space for offices, parts and service workshops and storage areas to house Yutong buses and coaches.
As a key commitment to its customers, VDI has ensured its spare parts supplies are fully stocked as it continues its retail and servicing of Yutong buses throughout Australia’s west coast.
