[@mandate4uuk1]

Very nice factual video and commentary. Love the way the information is presented inside and outside, Looks like they have improved the driver experience. So off to Crawley for me, see how it performs in the real world .

[@CoachBusWeek]

Thank you for the feedback 👍

[@frenchboyh31]

Dashboard is refreshing!!!

[@ianpage2765]

Wow smooth ride. No banging crashing

[@aziabegum3116]

This is the Wrightbus GB Kite Hydroliner Single-Decker Bus (Former / Formerly Wrightbus GB Kite Hydrogen Bus). This is the BRAND-NEW Hydrogen Bus built by Wrightbus by manufactured, this bus can be in service in the future.

[@aziabegum3116]

This bus has Hydrogen Tanks, Hydrogen Refuelling, Fuel Cell, Battery Pack and Electric Axle with 2 or Two Integrated Motors.

[@DavidR_192]

@aziabegum3116 - Yes.

One of a few vehicles mentioned that would be perfect for Stagecoach West however, it would be single door formation so it would have extra seats compared to this dual door model

[@SN06BNF]

I Dont Like When Dual Doors Are Converted To Single Door

[@SN06BNF]

I Love How It’s Dual Door

[@ce_1upp]

They have these on the E7 now but red! 🎉

[@TheMetrobusEnthusiast]

Nice 👍. These buses are local to me.

[@DavidR_192]

Three years since the GB Hawk replaced the Streetlite (with a large price hike) and not a single unit sold in the mainland UK yet. Wright took a big risk, and at this point all it's led to is vast sales of ADL E200 MMCs in England, Scotland & Wales.

[@joshuahalla.k.a.controlla6333]

Nice 🔥

[@use-oc4mj6n]

Dashboard lifted out of the old Wright Streetdeck/Streetlite vehicles with minor changes to speedometer.

[@DavidR_192]

True. And that could be said for the whole GB Hawk series. Still not a single unit sold in mainland UK, since the Hawk series replaced the much cheaper Streetlite.

[@use-oc4mj6n]

@DavidR_192 Thanks. Did Go Ahead not purchase any in their recent 1,200 electric bus order with Wright ? Sorry my error, GB Hawk is a diesel bus 😂

[@jackselby410]

Was it a nice ride?

[@stephenpeat3885]

The problem with this bus there are no standing rails meaning around 10 people can stand on the bus at each bus bell location. The number of standing is less compared with the plate at the front door.

[@OverSpotterBlackHUS1995]

Nice!

[@anthonywarrener1881]

What a superb bus ! Let’s hope that hydrogen fuelled vehicles become more economical to purchase ,as first cost does appear eye-watering !

[@jackselby410]

Wow

[@will_n775]

They sound very similar to the B7RLEs they are supposed to replace😂

[@DavidR_192]

Nothing like it! The B7RLE has a 7.1 litre, 280hp Volvo engine. This electric!! ....and the diesel only GB Hawk version of these have the puny 180hp Cummins 4.5 litre engine.

[@terawattz]

only wrightbus make buses worth driving,only other exception is the eveoseti bus

[@DavidR_192]

What are you on!? Ever been on a mainland UK Streetlite? They are the flimsiest, most underpowered, unreliable bus ever sold in the UK. The ADL E200 MMC is lightyears better by every measure.
