AI Summary

First Bus will purchase 23 Wrightbus StreetDeck Hydroliner hydrogen double‑deckers at a residual price of £30,000 per vehicle. The buses were originally funded by Aberdeen City Council, which spent roughly £13.9 million on the hydrogen fleet. The new transaction provides the first concrete market price for these vehicles, moving beyond earlier debates over fuel‑cell efficiency, hydrogen costs, or refuelling infrastructure. This price point reflects the depreciation of the original investment after five years of operation.
