All 40 were purchased by the FirstGroup for its Glasgow, Leeds and Manchester subsidiaries.[1] In October 2001, four were sent from Glasgow to First London's Greenford garage to operate a six month trial on route 207.[2]
Later Wrightbus models also used the Fusion name, but in conjunction with the name of the equivalent full-size rigid single-decker. These were the Solar Fusion on the Scania L94UA chassis, and the Eclipse Fusion on the Volvo B7LA.
