Meet the new Kite Electroliner 2.0, the next-generation single-deck electric bus
Design to deliver class-leading efficiency, greater range and lower operating costs. Built on a common platform with the StreetDeck Electroliner, it simplifies fleet maintenance while maximising uptime.
Engineered for operators transitioning to zero-emission vehicles, the Kite Electroliner 2.0 combines proven Wrightbus engineering with advanced battery technology to deliver reliable, high-performance mobility. With Wrightbus Zero-emission buses having surpassed 200 million kilometers in service and achieving up to 98% uptime, it sets a new benchmark for modern EV bus operations.
Smarter Power, Greater Range, And Longer Life
Powered by CATL's latest battery technology, the Wright Kite offers two battery configurations to meet a wide range of operational requirements.
The optional 528kWh battery, the largest ever fitted to a Wrightbus electric bus, delivers an impressive range of up to 585km, enabling longer routes with fewer charging stops. The compact 442kWh battery maximises efficiency while optimising available space.
Both battery options are seamlessly paired with the Voith VEDS 1.5 driveline, delivering enhanced performance, lower energy consumption and greater operational efficiency for every single-deck bus in your fleet.
