Wright StreetCar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wright StreetCar is an articulated bus developed by the Wright Group and Volvo for FirstGroup plc. It consists of an adapted Volvo B7LA (to be replaced by Volvo B9LA) chassis, featuring a separate driver compartment at the front, resembling to some extent similar designs in continental Europe. In the UK, the Wright StreetCar buses are used on FirstGroup's ftr service since its launch in May 2006.
In 2006, Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada in the United States placed an order for 50 StreetCar Rapid Transit Vehicles for delivery in late 2000s. Developed from the Wright StreetCar, these will be hybrid-powered vehicles with chassis built by Hess of Switzerland.
