"East Yorkshire Buses, in UK, announces it has completed the first phase of its electric vehicle infrastructure programme, preparing the ground for the arrival of 21 new battery-electric Wrightbus vehicles scheduled to enter service later this year. The new vehicles will operate on Hull's urban network, forming part of a regional transition to zero-emission operation supported by the Government's ZEBRA2 (Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas) programme."
"The project is part of a broader initiative led by Hull City Council, some 60 km West of York, to decarbonise local public transport. Funding for the infrastructure has been provided through the council's capital programme, supporting the deployment of electric buses as part of its wider climate strategy. The installation at East Yorkshire's Anlaby Road depot is designed not only to serve the operator's new electric fleet but also to accommodate charging for the council's own passenger vehicles."
Phase one of an electric vehicle infrastructure programme at East Yorkshire Buses' Anlaby Road depot has been completed to prepare for 21 battery-electric Wrightbus vehicles due to enter service later this year. The new vehicles will run on Hull's urban network as part of a regional move to zero-emission operation supported by the Government's ZEBRA2 programme and jointly managed with local councils and operators. Council capital funding supports the installation, which will also charge council passenger vehicles. No electric or hybrid buses currently operate on Hull public routes. Phase two is under way with EO Technology and Bethell engaged, and initial DfT funding enabled the purchase of 40 electric buses.
