Wrightbus said one of the first firm orders for its hydrogen buses in Australia open the door for to a “huge” market in the future.
It follows news that Volgren, the bus body manufacturer which earlier this year signed a deal to build the Ballymena company’s buses in Australia, has secured a deal with operator Transdev for the manufacture of two zero-emission hydrogen buses.
The new vehicles will service the eastern suburb of Brisbane and have been funded to the tune of $1.5 million under the Queensland State Government’s Hydrogen Industry Development Fund, matched by $1.5 million from Transdev.
