Zero Emission Bus Workshop Series
Project Summary
To help accelerate our transition to zero emission bus fleets, Zemo Partnership will be hosting a series of physical workshops for our members across the UK. These interactive workshops will share the experiences of operators and local authorities who have worked with suppliers to successfully overcome the obstacles and challenges of transitioning to electric or hydrogen vehicles.
