Chronology |
The Wright Cadet was a low floor midibus body built by British coachbuilder Wrightbus between 2000 and 2006, solely on the DAF/VDL SB120 chassis. It was sold via VDL dealer Arriva Bus & Coach. It sold in large numbers in London and with major operators in the UK and in mainland Europe, with some going to Arriva in The Netherlands.
Volvo also sold the Cadet on DAF/VDL SB120 chassis themselves for a time, marketing the chassis and body combination as the Volvo Merit.
