Wrightbus recently hosted a decarbonisation discussion session at its service centre facility in Brühl, Germany.
The session saw 12 German bus operators join Wrightbus at its AllServiceOne centre to discuss end-to-end decarbonisation solutions including zero-emission energy infrastructure and bus fleets.
Representatives from the companies, which included moBiel GmbH, Bogestra AG, SWB Bus und Bahn, Duisburger Verkehrsgesellschaft, Ruhrbahn, Verkehrsbetriebe Hamm, Vestische Straßenbahnen GmbH, Kölner Verkehrsbetriebe AG, Stoag Oberhausen, NEW Mönchengladbach GmbH, HEAG Mobilio AG, and Bremer Straßenbahn AG were given more information on Wrightbus’ Hydroliner and Electroliner, as well as a close look at Rightech’s RB6 and RB9 BEV buses.
Erhan Eren, Wrightbus European Bus Managing Director, said:Wrightbus is at the forefront of zero-emission technology both in hydrogen and EV buses, so we were delighted to host this event in Germany.
Public transport has a huge role to play in the journey to net zero, which is why it was so valuable to have so many operators in the room together.
Between them, they have 2,700 buses in service across Germany, so the impact of decarbonising so many vehicles would be significant in terms of CO2 reduction and cleaner air for towns and cities.
It was a valuable day where we were able to showcase the many alternative solutions to help them reach net zero. I‘m grateful to all the operators who attended and showed their support. Working together is the only way we can tackle climate change effectively and return clean air to our towns and cities.
It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our buses which are leading the way in zero emission transport.
The event was hosted in association with HydraB Group partners Ryze Power Germany, who attended the event to explain the relationship between the two companies.
Ryze Power Germany Managing Director, Leander Hoffmann, said:It was invaluable to hear about the challenges operators are facing as they look to decarbonise. At Ryze, we’re already successfully providing solutions to a number of businesses in Germany. We’re looking forward to expanding our network across Europe as we help the public transport sector to reach net zero.
