"By replacing diesel buses with zero-emission vehicles, we're playing our part in improving air quality for the communities we serve. Since launching the buses in March, we have been delighted at customer reaction to our smart new EV buses, which is shown by the numbers of people using them. They provide a comfortable and modern passenger experience, offering a quieter, smoother ride, and advanced audio-visual announcements."
"This is the first time our region has introduced this level of clean, sustainable transport, and its success is a testament to the collective effort and commitment of all those involved. This project is a clear example of how working together across sectors and local authorities helps us deliver our vision of a people-centred, connected travel network- one that prioritises public transport."
" Since their launch in March this year, First Solent's 62 zero-emission buses (which replaced nearly half of its diesel fleet) have traveled 2 million kilometers and transported 4 million people, as well as reduced emissions, saving the equivalent of about 2,427 tons of Well to Wheel CO2 emissions."
"The £28.6 million project was funded by the Department for Transport's (DfT) Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas (ZEBRA) project and investment from First Bus. The project also includes electrification of the Hoeford depot in Fareham, with the creation of an electrical infrastructure to support electric vehicle charging."
