Wright StreetAir EV DF
The Wright StreetAir EV DF was revealed in August 2016 as the replacement for the Wright Electrocity. It is available in two main variants: a single-decker bus variant, and a double-decker bus variant. Both are based on an all-electric version of the Wright StreetDeck integral double-decker bus. The StreetAir EV DF is available in a single 10.6m length weighing 18 tonnes. The body design of the single-decker bus variant is based on the Wright Eclipse 3, while the body design of the double-decker bus variant is based on the StreetDeck. Both variants are available with electricity conduction via overnight (plug-in), inductive (through the road surface) or conductive (with a pantograph) methods.
The vehicle is scheduled to enter production in 2017.
Wright StreetAir EV WF
The Wright StreetAir EV WF was launched in August 2016 as the replacement for the Wright StreetLite EV. It is based on the StreetLite EV, with a number of drivetrain improvements over the previous model. It is available in 8.8m and 9.5m lengths, with both lengths featuring the wheel ahead of the door to maximise interior capacity. As with the DF, the WF is available with electricity conduction via overnight (plug-in), inductive (through the road surface) or conductive (with a pantograph) methods.
