Bristol has inaugurated its first electrified bus depot in Hengrove, facilitated by a £44 million investment, including funds from the UK's Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas (ZEBRA) initiative. This project will introduce 74 new electric buses, improving public transport efficiency and reducing emissions. First Bus aims for a fully electric fleet by 2035, and the Hengrove depot, featuring modern amenities and safety enhancements, is a substantial step toward achieving this target. Additionally, investments are being channeled into expanding the electric bus fleet in Bath and Bristol areas.
"First Bus has committed towards a zero emissions fleet by 2035, and with new electrified depots, we are making significant strides towards this goal."
"The Hengrove depot is powered by five gantries that will support 74 new electric buses, aimed to enhance public transport accessibility and sustainability in Bristol."
