Operating in North <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Rhine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rhine</a>-Westphalia, the buses serve <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Heinsberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Heinsberg</a>, Hückelhoven, and Erkelenz. WestVerkehr’s MD, Udo Winkens, called it a major step towards clean, future-ready transport. Supported by €3.4 million from Germany’s Federal Ministry for Digital and <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Transport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Transport</a>, the project helps cut noise and emissions. Wrightbus CEO Jean-Marc Gales praised the environmental benefits and strong cooperation with WestVerkehr. The buses offer up to 1,000 km range, refuel in under 10 minutes, and carry 90 passengers. Wrightbus has also opened a <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/European" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#European</a> service centre in Brühl to support its growing fleet, with orders from RVK, Saarbahn, Cottbusverkehr and others. The centre is part of plans to expand Wrightbus’s service network across Europe, replicating its UK model. <a href="https://wrightbus.com/en-gb/Wrightbus-deliver-12-hydroliners-to-German-operator-WestVerkehr-GmbH" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://wrightbus.com/en-gb/Wrightbus-deliver-12-hydroliners-to-German-operator-WestVerkehr-GmbH</a>

CLondoner92 (New Account)<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Wrightbus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wrightbus</a> has secured a key order for its new 6-metre Rightech electric <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/buses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#buses</a>, which will operate in Kent as part of a demand-responsive service across <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Ebbsfleet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ebbsfleet</a> Garden City. These buses, which can charge at public EV bays or local depots, offer flexibility for both scheduled and on-demand routes. Go-Coach founder Austin Blackburn praised their performance and efficiency. The project is funded by National Highways and will complement Kent’s existing zero-emission Fastrack system. Camland and Roam, key infrastructure partners, highlighted the significance of integrated EV charging. Wrightbus, Europe’s fastest-growing bus maker, developed Rightech as a pure EV brand with strong aftersales support. CEO Jean-Marc Gales emphasised the role of electrification in decarbonising transport and boosting jobs. Roam’s UK-wide network will keep the fleet running efficiently, showcasing how infrastructure and innovation can drive green mobility. <a href="https://wrightbus.com/en-gb/pivotal-order-for-rightech-buses" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://wrightbus.com/en-gb/pivotal-order-for-rightech-buses</a>

CLondoner92 (New Account)A trial of <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Wrightbus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wrightbus</a> hydrogen buses for Sizewell C workers has launched in <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Suffolk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Suffolk</a>, marking a step towards reducing construction emissions. If successful, Sizewell C could order up to 150 <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/buses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#buses</a>, creating the UK's largest <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/hydrogen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hydrogen</a> fleet. This initiative supports the region’s hydrogen <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economy</a>, creates <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UK</a> jobs, and reduces local transport impacts. Ryze Power supplies the green hydrogen, and a mobile refuelling system is also being tested. Sizewell C’s goal is to decarbonise its operations and accelerate the hydrogen transition. Wrightbus’s hydrogen buses, built in Northern <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Ireland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ireland</a>, contribute to UK manufacturing. The trial aims to encourage further hydrogen adoption across the region. If successful, it could help establish a broader hydrogen <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/transport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transport</a> network in the East of <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/England" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#England</a>. <a href="https://wrightbus.com/en-gb/Sizewell-C-trial-Wrightbus-Hydroliners" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://wrightbus.com/en-gb/Sizewell-C-trial-Wrightbus-Hydroliners</a>
