New Power converts Wrightbus double deckers for First Bus in Bath

New Power is converting Wrightbus double decker buses for First Bus operations in Bath, according to Bus & Coach Buyer. The work involves retrofitting existing diesel vehicles to electric or alternative powertrains, though the article excerpt does not specify the number of vehicles or contract value. The project forms part of First Bus's fleet electrification efforts in the Bath area.

Why it matters: The conversion contract signals ongoing demand for retrofit solutions as operators electrify existing fleets, creating opportunities for charging infrastructure providers to support newly converted electric buses. First Bus's Bath operations may require depot charging installations to support the converted double deckers.
