Northern Ireland-based Wrightbus has supplied 12 new hydrogen buses to WestVerkehr, a German operator, adding to the existing fleet of 43 hydrogen-powered buses in Germany. The deployment of the Kite Hydroliner single decks in the westernmost district of Germany will connect towns like Heinsberg, Hückelhoven, and Erkelenz. These buses are designed for long journeys, with a range of 1,000 kilometers, quick refueling in less than 10 minutes, and capacity for up to 90 passengers, meeting safety regulations. Wrightbus has inaugurated a European service center in Brühl near Cologne, marking the beginning of a network of service centers in Europe. CEO Jean-Marc Gales emphasized the AllServiceOne brand's commitment to maintaining all types of buses, including those of other manufacturers, promoting zero-emission transportation for environmental benefits and improved air quality. The partnership with WestVerkehr signifies a strong collaboration in advancing sustainable public transportation.
