Translink has introduced three new single-deck Electroliners from Wrightbus to operate on the 600 route to and from Belfast’s City Airport, marking a significant milestone as all services on this route are now fully electric.
Chris Conway, CEO of Translink, highlighted the benefits of the new eco-friendly buses, stating, “With a refreshed new external livery, the new eco buses will also meet the latest standards in comfort, safety, and accessibility, with contactless payment facilities, WiFi, USB charging plus dedicated space for luggage, wheelchairs and prams.”
Earlier this year, Translink began receiving its initial batch of a total of one hundred electric buses ordered from Wrightbus.
The Northern Irish manufacturer specializes in producing both fully battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric buses, further enhancing the region’s commitment to sustainable public transport solutions.
