Wrightbus has launched a new brand, RIghtech, which will feature battery-electric trucks and buses produced in China.

The first vehicle to be unveiled by the new brand is the RT75 UK, a 7.5-tonne medium-duty chassis cab vehicle.

Powertrain for the new model features 107 kWh of battery storage capacity using packs supplied by CATL. Using a 100 kW DC charge via the CCS 2 socket, the packs can be recharged from 20 to 80% in about 50 minutes. An 11 kW AC charge point will deliver the same charge capacity in five hours.

A full 100% charge will deliver around 144 miles (232 km) of range.

The liquid-cooled permanent magnet synchronous motor is rated for 90 kW, while delivering maximum torque of 1,050 Nm (standard 550 Nm). Max ePTO is 26 kW.

The RT75 UK, which as the name suggests is UK certified and homologated, is available with a choice of wheelbase lengths, 3,845 mm and 4,475 mm. Curb weight is respectively 3,320 or 3,370 kg, while max payload is 4,170 kg and 4,120 kg.

The new model has a bumper-to-bumper warranty of three years/62,000 miles. The battery is covered for eight years and 250,000 miles.

According to information from Rightech, the RT75 UK offers a better total cost of ownership than a diesel equivalent, largely driven by the lower cost of electricity than liquid fuel.

Additionally, the new truck features the Uptime 365 telematics package. This delivers tracking and vehicle condition data, helping to plan efficient routes and keep the vehicle in operation. Fleet management services are also available.
