The NewPower team were delighted to host a fantastic day with senior team members from Wrightbus, First Bus, NewPower UK and AllServiceOne. The group met in our Bicester factory for a day of inspiring and challenging idea sharing and thought provoking industry insights. Wrightbus CEO Jean-Marc Gales hosted the event and welcomed senior team members from each company for briefings and breakout sessions around our shared vision for a greener future supporting UK manufacturing and green jobs. Our factory provided the perfect backdrop for discussions around the decarbonisation of public transport, and allowed the First Bus team to take a first hand look at the progress of their recent order. Their initial order of 32 buses being repowered by NewPower are currently working their way through our production bays, having their diesel engines replaced with new zero-emission electric powertrains by our expert team. Collectively, when the 32 re-powered Zero Emission Buses enter service, they will eliminate 2,100 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually. Thank you to First Group, AllServiceOne and Wrightbus for a very worthwhile and enjoyable day, we look forward to welcoming you back to Bicester and to seeing the first repowered First Bus buses in service soon. #NewPower #Wrightbus #DrivingAGreenerFuture #FirstBus #AllServiceOne #Decarbonisation #RePoweredBus #ElectricBus #PublicTransport

Wrightbus is the first OEM to offer a re-powering service through NewPower UK, utilising the unique skills of its workforce to swap diesel for electricity. Our master technicians built the original buses and have unrivalled expertise in being able to swap powertrains. This offering allows forward thinking operators across the UK to speed up their decarbonisation process by eradicating diesel powertrains in older fleets at a substantially lower price than a new bus. Wrightbus CEO Jean-Marc Gales recently shared, “While we are selling new hydrogen and battery-electric buses all over the world there is a huge market of mid-life buses which, once converted, can have an immediate impact on helping to improve air quality in towns and cities up and down the UK. The whole thing is about reusing existing assets, removing the need to build them up again and not creating more CO2; reutilising buses that are between five and nine years old and giving them another 10-year life as fully electric vehicles.” Once in service these newly re-powered buses will not only help operators decarbonise their fleets and reach their net zero goals faster, but will provide cleaner, more breathable air and a greener environment for commuters and residents in our towns and cities. ↘ Follow NewPower UK Find out more: www.newpower.eco #Wrightbus #NewPower #DrivingAGreenerFuture #RepoweringBuses #Decarbonisation #PublicTransport #UKManufacturing #AcceleratingDecarbonisation

“We are all chasing that net zero target, road vehicles in particular have a target to clean everything up by 2035, we believe this is an economically viable route in addition to new vehicle purchasing to help that acceleration process” Kirk Trewin Operations Director NewPower UK It is estimated that 34,000 diesel buses will need to be converted or replaced by 2035. NewPower can cater to this predicted demand with a programme that will retrofit diesel bus fleets at their mid-life point. We can take buses that are five to nine years old and decarbonise them in just three weeks, giving them an extra 10 years of life. ➡️ Find out more about NewPower UK, our processes, technologies and vision on our website: https://newpower.eco/ ➡️ Email: [email protected] #NewPower #NewPowerUK #Wrightbus #DrivingAGreenerFuture #Decarbonisation #Repower #RepoweringBuses #ElectricBus #BicesterJobs #UKManufacturing
