Ballymena company Wrightbus has won a contract to supply 60 hydrogen-powered buses to a German operator.
They will make the single-deck vehicles for the city of Cologne.
Bus operator Regionalverkehr Köln GmbH (RVK) will take the Kite Hydroliner vehicles over the next two years.
RVK has the largest fleet of hydrogen fuel cell EV buses in Europe.
It comes after another recent deal to build two hydrogen power train cells for Australian bus body builder Volgren.
The North Antrim Ulster Unionist Party Assembly Member, Robin Swann said: “With this latest deal, Wrightbus has become a beacon of economic hope across the entire constituency. The company has been a major part of North Antrim for generations and this latest deal is a welcome boost for the local workforce in this region.
“As a constituency, we hope we will see even more orders flow into Wrightbus in the coming years as the company continues to establish its place on the global market as one of the leading bus manufacturers.”
