Wrightbus’s zero-emission fleet achieves the three-million-mile mark

Posted by & filed under Fleets and Infrastructure, Newswire, The Vehicles.

Northern Ireland bus manufacturer Wrightbus says its fleet of hydrogen and BEV buses have traveled a total of 3 million miles since entering service and, compared to the use of equivalent diesel buses, have prevented 5,000 tons of CO2 emissions from entering the atmosphere.

The company’s products, which are in operation across Ireland and the UK, include the hydrogen-fueled Streetdeck Hydroliner and the BEV double-deck Streetdeck Electroliner.
