Buses and Road Mass Transit Vehicles

The Wright Eclipse Gemini is a low-floor double-decker bus body built by Wrightbus from 2001 to 2021, derived from the single-decker Wright Eclipse. It was launched in 2001 on the Volvo B7TL chassis and later fitted to the Volvo B9TL, the B5TL and, from 2008, the B5LH hybrid. A second generation, the Eclipse Gemini 2, followed in 2009 and a third, the Gemini 3, in 2013. In Hong Kong the body was sold on the Volvo Super Olympian chassis as the Wright Explorer. It was widely bought for London services and by FirstGroup, which took over 1,200 from 2003, as well as by Dublin Bus and Bus Eireann.
