Wright StreetDeck

The Wright StreetDeck is an integral double-decker bus manufactured by Wrightbus since 2014, originally delivered as standard with a Daimler OM934 diesel engine.

The Micro Hybrid package consists of a flywheel and regenerative braking in the bus, which provides electricity used to power the interior lights and compressed air systems, saving up to 10% in fuel costs compared to the standard diesel StreetDeck.

[citation needed] The first five prototype StreetDeck demonstrators to be produced, three of which were delivered to First Greater Manchester, First South Yorkshire and Transdev Blazefield, were fitted with a front end similar in appearance to the outgoing Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 double-decker before Wrightbus's new standard 'Stealth' front Wright Eclipse Gemini 3 end styling was adopted for production examples.

[32][33] The company announced a further order of 31 StreetDecks for its X-Lines network of express routes in 2019 which were scheduled to enter service from Spring 2020;[34] the delivery of these buses was delayed into the late summer due to the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down bus manufacturing, with the decision taken to divert six StreetDecks from the Go North East order to Thames Travel and a further three to the Oxford Bus Company.

[40][41] Arriva Merseyside took delivery of 24 low-height Streetdeck Ultroliners in January 2022, which entered service on two routes serving Liverpool and other surrounding areas.

The group then ordered 139 more StreetDecks in 2020, with the majority being delivered to Diamond North West to replace vehicles leased from First Greater Manchester.

[44][45] Translink in Northern Ireland first took delivery of 28 diesel StreetDecks between July and August 2018 for Ulsterbus services.

[57] When launched, it was the first hydrogen-powered double-decker bus the world, built with a range of up to 280 miles,[4] using a fuel cell system made by Ballard with a Siemens drivetrain.

[66][67][68] Go-Ahead Group operator Metrobus have ordered 11 StreetDeck Hydroliner FCEVs for delivery in late 2024.

[69] Four StreetDeck Hydroliner FCEVs were ordered in October 2023 for long-term trial use from early 2024 on shuttle services transporting construction workers to the site of the Sizewell C nuclear power station in Suffolk, part of pilot research into the use of hydrogen-powered equipment on construction sites.

[83][84][85] Translink in Northern Ireland ordered 80 StreetDeck Electroliner BEVs as part of a £74 million zero-emissions fleet investment in 2021.

[105] The Oxford Bus Company also took delivery of eight open top StreetDeck Electroliner BEVs for its City Sightseeing services in March 2024.

[106] From 2023, a facelifted version of the StreetDeck was introduced, with the front fascia and windscreen area of the bus entirely redesigned to a more rounded appearance.

[113] In November 2024, it was announced that StreetDeck Ultroliner diesels, which began to be produced that year with the facelifted front fascia, could also be specified with Cummins 6.7 ISB 6-cylinder engines.

Bus Vannin was the first operator to order StreetDeck Ultroliners specified with the new Cummins engines, taking delivery of five during 2025.

[114][115] In 2018, a diesel StreetDeck demonstrator equipped with Daimler OM936LA 295 hp engine was exported to Hong Kong and placed in service with Kowloon Motor Bus in September 2019.
