Description
Wrightbus: A History of Innovation and Expansion The Wrightbus story begins in 1946 with the company's early production of lorries, vans, and mobile libraries for customers across Northern Ireland. Over time, Wrightbus diversified its operations to build school buses, conventional buses, and coaches for various UK operators. In the 1980s, Wrightbus experienced rapid growth after securing large contracts to supply buses to major operators in the UK, as well as in Hong Kong and Singapore. The company has also been at the forefront of hybrid and electric bus technology. Following a decline in demand and other factors, Wrightbus was placed into administration in 2019 before being rescued by a new owner. This book explores some of the many buses produced by Wrightbus over the years, offering a fascinating look at the company's history and achievements.
