Wright Eclipse Fusion

Wright Eclipse Fusion

The Wright Eclipse Fusion is a low floor articulated single-deck bus body built by Wrightbus on the Volvo B7LA chassis. The articulated version of the Wright Eclipse, it succeeded the Wright Fusion.

A similar product is also bodied by Wrightbus, the Solar Fusion, which has an almost identical external appearance, but is built on the Scania L94UA chassis.

The main customer for the Eclipse Fusion is FirstGroup, which uses numerous examples in its subsidiaries, in Glasgow, Leeds and York subsidiaries, in York also operating on the park and ride service there. The examples used in Southampton were moved to Glasgow after constant speed bump damage. First London uses another vehicle type for articulated routes, the Mercedes-Benz Citaro, in common with other London bus operators. When trialling, two Eclipse Fusions were once used in a red livery.

FirstGroup are now in a partnership with Wrightbus in developing the Wright StreetCar, which is built on a modified version of the chassis used for the Eclipse Fusion. It is used by current Eclipse Fusion users First York and First Leeds on their ftr services. It is planned to introduce them onto routes in Swansea.
