The origins of Wrightbus can be traced back to just after the Second World War in 1946 when the company was founded as Robert Wright & Son Coachbuilders in Ballymena, Northern Ireland. Robert was joined by his daughter Muriel and son William. Robert Wright passed away in 1972. In 2017, William was awarded a Knighthood in the Queen's New Year's Honours. Manufactured from the end of 2014, the integral constructed StreetDeck is built in both single and double-deck variations, with the vast majority in the latter. At the time of writing, the workforce stands at 770, but by the end of 2022, that figure will be nearer one thousand. In 2021, 70% of production was diesel-powered, but in 2022, only 30% will be diesel, with the other 70% zero emissions.
