The investment will support a mission at the new facility to transform older diesel buses into electric vehicles (EV).
With the capacity to re-power mid-life diesel buses into EVs within three weeks, NewPower will contribute to reducing urban air pollution and advancing the decarbonisation of public transport.
Karsten Hall, manufacturing engineer at Wrightbus, said: "These lifts are not only pivotal to the re-powering process but also reflect the superior quality and reliability we have come to expect from Totalkare. As a returning customer, we value their exceptional equipment and unwavering service support. The T8DC lifts will play a crucial role in enabling our teams to efficiently convert buses to electric powertrains, thus accelerating our journey towards a greener future."
The T8DC cable-free mobile column lifts are said to allow wireless operation and easy movement around the workshop. These features are essential for the NewPower facility, where engineers will work simultaneously on multiple buses to meet the goal of converting up to 500 vehicles annually.
Additionally, Totalkare has supplied a mobile brake tester that is DVSA-approved and capable of testing up to 16,000kg axle load.
