FirstGroup, a private sector transport operator, has secured a £150 million green finance facility led by Lloyds Bank to add 1,000 zero-emission buses to its UK fleet network.
Fleets and businesses represented 77.4% of the UK’s battery electric vehicle (BEV) uptake in November, revealed the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
An 8MW grid connection to the Cowley bus depot will be built under an agreement between EDF Renewables UK and the Oxford Bus Company to power an electric fleet of buses for Oxford.
