Stagecoach has ordered an additional 16 battery-electric double-decker buses from Wrightbus to operate in London.
This follows a 2023 order for Wrightbus to supply Stagecoach with 48 StreetDeck Electroliner vehicles for the capital.
In addition, Wrightbus also recently secured a new order to deliver 87 buses for Arriva, which will also be rolled out across London.
All of the buses will be manufactured at Wrightbus’s headquarters in Ballymena, Northern Ireland.
“We have the climate and the technology to drive fundamental change in the energy sector, and position ourselves as a world-leader in delivering zero-emission buses.
“This latest order represents another significant step and we are proud to work alongside Stagecoach to achieve these goals. As well as being good for the environment, these buses will also ensure passengers enjoy cleaner, greener journeys.”
This order supports Stagecoach’s target of operating a zero-emission UK bus fleet by 2035.
“We're proud to be working with Wrightbus in bringing this exciting technology to the streets of London, as we target a fully zero-emissions vehicle fleet.”
