The Wright Eclipse is a low-floor single-deck bus body built by Wright on Volvo B7 and B8 series chassis. It shares its design with the Wright Solar on Scania L94UB chassis. Initially, the Eclipse was built on Volvo B7L chassis. The Volvo B7RLE was introduced in 2003 due to the unpopularity of the B7L's driveline layout with UK operators. From this time, the full name of the Wright body became Eclipse Metro for the B7L version, and Eclipse Urban for the new B7RLE version; however, all continue to be badged as Eclipse. An additional version available on the B7RLE is the Eclipse Commuter, with a higher floor throughout most of the body (though retaining a low entry), and a correspondingly higher window line. The Eclipse and its sister design the Solar were named for a solar eclipse which was visible in the UK in 1999, the year of its introduction. In November 2008, Wright unveiled the Eclipse 2 at the Euro Bus Expo 2008, with front and rear ends facelifted to match the Wright StreetCar. In 2015 the Eclipse 3 on the Volvo B8RLE chassis was released facelifted to resemble the Wright Eclipse Gemini 3 with four delivered to June 2015.〔"Wrighbus launches Eclipse 3" ''Buses'' issue 727 October 2015 page 8〕 Over 2,100 have been built with FirstGroup the largest customer.〔(Wright Eclipse ) Bus Lists on the Web〕 ==Variations== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wright Eclipse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
