Wrightbus will deliver 28 Kite Hydroliner hydrogen double-decker buses to Saarbahn GmbH – the first five already this year.

Project Manager Torsten Burgardt from Saarbahn: “This is the first step to ensure that in the next three years, half of our fleet will consist of emission-free buses.”

Together with Saarbahn Netz GmbH, Saarbahn GmbH employs around 580 staff and transports approximately 43.7 million passengers annually on road and rail.

European Activities Expanded

Wrightbus is currently intensifying its activities in the EU market, particularly in Germany. The company, based in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, will deliver twelve Kite Hydroliners to West Verkehr. Regionalverkehr Köln (RVK) has signed a contract for up to 60 Kite Hydroliners. Additionally, Wrightbus states that in 2024, further contracts for 51 buses with two other European customers have been concluded.
