November 2017
Go North East
Although Go North East already has a large number of Wright Streetlite Max Micro-Hybrid vehicles in its fleet; these vehicles all have the second version of Wrightbus' Micro-Hybrid system, which achieves 11% fuel and CO2 savings when added to a standard Euro 6 diesel engine. Version 3 of the Micro-Hybrid system, which is fitted to this vehicle, includes an additional third smart alternator, electric air compressor and stop/start engine technology, delivering an additional 10% saving (totalling a 21% fuel and CO2 saving). To evaluate suitability of this version of the Micro-Hybrid system, and to assist with vehicle shortages while mechanical work is undertaken on the Crook-based Wright StreetDecks, this vehicle will be allocated to Chester-le-Street Depot and used on "Lambton Worm" services 34/34A, to release a double-deck vehicle to Crook.
