German carrier WestVerkehr receives 12 buses from Wrightbus - Sustainable Bus
Briefly

Wrightbus has recently delivered twelve fuel cell buses to the German carrier WestVerkehr GmbH, which will operate the Kite Hydroliner FCEV in Germany. This delivery increases the total of battery-electric hydrogen buses in Germany to 43, with projections of reaching 130 by 2025. Additionally, Wrightbus has established a European service center in Brühl, aimed at developing a comprehensive service network on the continent. The buses promise an eco-friendly transport solution, aligning with regulations and commitments to sustainable mobility.
"By participating in this project, WestVerkehr is emphasising its commitment to environmentally friendly, future-oriented mobility. Together with the partners in the H2HS consortium, we are actively driving forward the transformation of local public transport - innovative, emission-free and close to people."
"There will be around 130 by the end of 2025," announced the CEO of the Wrightbus Group, Jean-Marc Gales.
The Kite Hydroliner FCEV can accommodate up to 90 passengers, and the buses for WestVerkehr meet the high requirements of the VDV and GSR2.
Wrightbus has also opened a European service centre in Brühl near Cologne, marking the first step towards a comprehensive network of service centres on the continent.
