Wright Electrocity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wright Electrocity is a type of hybrid bus built by Wrightbus. There were originally two prototypes, which have been demonstrated by operators around the United Kingdom. It was the first bus of its kind and later competed with the TransBus Enviro 200H, the bus which has the original Enviro 200 styling, differing from the Alexander Dennis Enviro200Dart.
The Electrocity has won one order from TfL for use on route 360 operated by London Central, part of the Go-Ahead Group. These buses were meant to be the TransBus Enviro 200H, but when TransBus went into administration in 2004, the bus side was bought by Alexander Dennis. The main aim for Alexander Dennis was to get the business out of trouble, so delivery of the Enviro 200H was delayed. TfL eventually got impatient, and ordered the Electrocity.
