Green vehicles

The bus fleet began in 2016 with 30 vehicles and has expanded in a big push to reduce air pollution.

The new buses are part of a £32 million project to replace some of the current diesel fleet.

The new buses will operate across Bristol, Somerset and Wiltshire.

Authorities in Surrey and Brighton have been allocated a share of £37.5m government funds.

Buses from across the UK were reallocated to cover routes in Scotland while manufacturer repairs are made.

The new buses run on the E1, E2 and E6 routes between Wearside and South Shields.

A grant of more than £12m is awarded to Kent County Council to increase EV charging points.

The cost of replacing 41 diesel waste vehicles with electric or hydrogen models proving prohibitive.
