Coventry City Council, GB develops all-electric bus fleet in partnership with national government
Coventry City Council, GB All-Electric Bus Fleet
Coventry and Oxford were selected to become the United Kingdom's first local governments with all-electric fleets. Each government receives £50 million for plug-in buses and equipment to be implemented by 2025. Local officials will use additional funds for ride-share programs in outlying areas, high-frequent bus lanes, and other initiatives. The switch to all-electric buses allows both councils to meet emission and air quality goals while upgrading public transit.
