Wrightbus receives order for 103 zero-emission buses

Wrightbus has received orders for 103 of its zero-emission buses for London.

Stagecoach has ordered another 16 zero-emission Wrightbus vehicles, with Arriva ordering 87.

“This latest order represents another significant step and we are proud to work alongside Stagecoach to achieve these goals.
