Reseach & Development

Currently operating 16 electric zero emission at the tail pipe buses, 15 Yutong E12, 1 Yutong E10. 214 Solar panels on depot building roof, these feed directly into the onsite power infrastructure for the electric fleet. Aspiration is to increase this to 500 solar panels within 18 months.

Onsite we currently have 6 double and 2 single fleet charging points supported by an onsite switch gear portacabin and three large Tesla batteries. This equates to 16% of our bus fleet within Phase One of our zero emission bus project. Phase two TBA.
