West Bridgford: Green Line electric buses now in service – there’s a launch event on Saturday

NCT will hold a launch event on the Avenue on Saturday 8 February.

The Yutong electric single deck buses achieve a 79% saving in well-to-wheel greenhouse gas emissions compared to existing Euro VI diesel buses and have already prevented 225.3 tonnes of CO2e being emitted. This will reach 3,800 tonnes of CO2e each and every year when the electric bus project is fully delivered.

As expected, the buses have easily done a full day in service on the single overnight charge, with the charging infrastructure delivered, supplied and maintained by Zenobē, who work with 90% of the major bus operators in the UK.

From early 2025, customers travelling on Navy 3/A, 48; Green 5, 7, 8, 9; Sky Blue 46, 47 and Yellow 70, 71 will enjoy travelling on high quality, zero emission electric Yutong buses which boast:

  • air conditioning as standard
  • re-positioned visual next stop screen, including a rear facing screen which can be seen from the wheelchair bay
  • extra leg room between seats
  • bigger buggy bay
  • hearing loop system fitted
  • no tip up seats in the wheelchair bay, which helps reduce conflict over use of the space
  • USB-C charging points
  • full colour destination displays that are easier to see from a distance and in the dark
