Wright Solar Fusion


The Wright Solar Fusion was a type of low floor articulated bus body built on the Scania L94UA chassis by Wrightbus. It was the articulated version of the Wright Solar. Only 11 were produced with Nottingham City Transport purchasing five, Go North East purchasing four and First Manchester and Doig's of Glasgow one each.
The Solar Fusion shares a similar bodywork style to the Wright Eclipse Fusion with the main differences being the window and seating before the rear exit doors, and the full rear window due to the transverse engine of the Scania L94 chassis, rather than the vertically mounted fitted to the B7LA chassis.
First Manchester's was involved in an accident in 2016 on the M60 motorway. Although there were no casualties, the bus was later scrapped after being stored at Manchester's Oldham depot.
One of Nottingham City Transport's was preserved by Nottingham Heritage Vehicles and another was converted into a Library for Alderman Pounder Infant School and remains there on the school grounds.
