For over 75 years, as a family-run business, we’ve helped people reach their destinations all over the world. We’ve built iconic vehicles that have defined transport and added character to our cities and towns including the StreetCar in Las Vegas and the New Routemaster in London. And now, after the successful launch of our groundbreaking zero emission product line we are carrying passengers into a cleaner future. We remain the only British manufacture that manufacturers both single and double deck battery and fuel cell electric buses. Together with Queens University Belfast, we have an ability to carry out a range of academic-backed modelling analysis which is highly accurate, detailed and forms a key principle in the recommendation of the suggested battery capacity and vehicle performance. Under Jo Bamford’s leadership, Wrightbus is embarking on a new trajectory of innovation and environmental awareness. Just as with our Hydrogen bus, we’re applying new energy solutions to help our vehicles meet their zero-emission targets. We are also creating more green economy UK jobs across our UK centric supply chain for our zero-emission buses. For the world that has been waiting on greener buses, they have arrived.
