This morning (August 25) First Bus and City of York Council 'switched on' a new fleet of zero emission buses for York in a £23 million transformation that before the end of the year will see its York depot become the first outside London to be fully electric.
The buses herald a new York Electric branding with the first vehicles to be rolled out on city routes from Sunday (August 27).
The multi-million pound scheme is a major step in meeting targets to reduce carbon emissions in York and will mean more than half the total bus fleet in the city is zero emission.
