Title: Wright BEV Demonstrator
Post by: RW on August 18, 2022, 06:52:01 AM
Tony, is the StreetDeck going to be used in service or is it only with NXWM for assessment? Is there serious interest in the vehicle for possible future acquisitions?

What's the likelihood of the demonstrator being used to mirror services today/tomorrow?

Possibly a long shot but does anyone know which bus it's shadowing today, or if it has come out at all? Thanks

3 weeks or whatever what happens now? NXWM have any serious interest in the model or are they committed to continue with ADL's EV?

People with spreadsheets will work out all the figures. Engineers who know what they are looking for will examine the design and build quality and then a decision will be made on whether they are worth buying.

Watch out for another demonstrator coming later in the year from another manufacturer.
