Ballymena-based Wrightbus has signed a deal with an Australian counterpart to build its hydrogen-powered buses.
The company, owned by JCB heir Jo Bamford, said it expects the initial trial of just two vehicles to lead to a host of orders to replace “tens of thousands” of buses in the region over the next decade.
Wrightbus will build and export its hydrogen fuel cell powertrain technology to Australia where bus body builder Volgren will manufacture two zero-emission hydrogen single deck buses.
