British bus manufacturer Wrightbus recently welcomed 12 of Germany\u2019s leading public transport operators to its newly opened Br\u00fchl service centre, in a landmark event focused on accelerating decarbonisation across European bus networks.<\/p>\n

More than 30 delegates gathered at the AllServiceOne facility near Cologne, where Wrightbus \u2014 in partnership with HydraB Group member Ryze Power Germany \u2014 delivered an in-depth look at zero-emission fleet solutions and supporting infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Among the operators represented were moBiel GmbH, Bogestra AG, SWB Bus und Bahn, Duisburger Verkehrsgesellschaft, Ruhrbahn, Verkehrsbetriebe Hamm, Vestische Stra\u00dfenbahnen GmbH, K\u00f6lner Verkehrsbetriebe AG, Stoag Oberhausen, NEW M\u00f6nchengladbach GmbH, HEAG Mobilo AG, and Bremer Stra\u00dfenbahn AG \u2014 a collective fleet of approximately 2,700 buses.<\/p>\n

Erhan Eran, Managing Director for Wrightbus Europe<\/strong>, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWrightbus is at the forefront of zero-emission technology both in hydrogen and EV buses, so we were delighted to host this event in Germany.<\/p>\n

\u201cPublic transport has a huge role to play in the journey to net zero, which is why it was so valuable to have so many operators in the room together.<\/p>\n

\u201cBetween them, they have 2,700 buses in service across Germany, so the impact of decarbonising so many vehicles would be significant in terms of CO\u2082 reduction and cleaner air for towns and cities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event offered participants the opportunity to examine Wrightbus\u2019s cutting-edge vehicle range, including the Hydroliner and Electroliner, alongside Rightech\u2019s newly launched RB6 and RB9 BEV models. <\/p>\n

Attendees were also given insight into Wrightbus\u2019s comprehensive end-to-end support for operators \u2014 from clean energy supply and charging infrastructure to vehicle delivery and aftersales service.<\/p>\n

Highlighting Wrightbus\u2019s growth across Europe, Eran<\/strong> added:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our buses which are leading the way in zero emission transport.<\/p>\n

Working together is the only way we can tackle climate change effectively and return clean air to our towns and cities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wrightbus, Europe\u2019s fastest-growing bus manufacturer, currently operates around 50 hydrogen-powered buses in Germany, with that figure expected to rise to 130 by the end of 2025. <\/p>\n

The Br\u00fchl service centre, opened earlier this year, features a parts warehouse and expert servicing capability \u2014 the first phase in Wrightbus\u2019s plan to replicate its successful UK support network across Europe.<\/p>\n

Representatives from Ryze Power Germany, a leading zero-emission fuel provider, also attended the summit to outline their collaboration with Wrightbus. Leander Hoffmann, Ryze Power Germany Managing Director<\/strong>, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was invaluable to hear about the challenges operators are facing as they look to decarbonise. At Ryze, we\u2019re already successfully providing solutions to a number of businesses in Germany.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to expanding our network across Europe as we help the public transport sector to reach net zero.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attendee Ralf Beuting of Vestische Stra\u00dfenbahnen GmbH<\/strong> praised the event\u2019s relevance and impact:<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of the association, and based on the feedback from our members, I would like to thank the team at Wrightbus.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey provided us with a very interesting program. The topics were well aligned with the participants\u2019 interests, and no questions were left unanswered.\u201d<\/p>\n

As cities across Europe ramp up efforts to decarbonise public transport, Wrightbus\u2019s continued expansion and technological innovation are helping operators make meaningful strides towards achieving net zero.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"British bus manufacturer Wrightbus recently welcomed 12 of Germany\u2019s leading public transport operators to its newly opened Br\u00fchl…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":288973,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5310],"tags":[9658,9660,9661,2000,299,1824,9656,9659,9657],"class_list":{"0":"post-288972","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-germany","8":"tag-ballymena-news","9":"tag-causeway-coast-and-glens","10":"tag-county-antrim","11":"tag-eu","12":"tag-europe","13":"tag-germany","14":"tag-love-ballymena","15":"tag-mid-and-east-antrim","16":"tag-northern-ireland-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114910471372477186","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288972","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=288972"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288972\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/288973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=288972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=288972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=288972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
