There would be enough orders to warrant Wrightbus to add the B8TL engine into the Wright Gemini 3. Look at it like this:
- GNE would order 20 for the TEN and TTX.
- Arriva would order 37 for the X10, X11, X15, X18, X21 and X22.
-Transdev would order 20 for the Yorkshire Coastliner.
It would be a total order of 77 vehicles and this alone would warrant the cost of Wrightbus serving a collabirated order.
To be honest, the different divisions of each company could do that.
GNE could order however many, as do Oxford, Brighton etc.
Pretty sure bulk ordering happens already just to reduced the costs.
