The approval of ScotZEB funding has prompted First Glasgow to add 50 electric buses to the 126 electric buses that are currently being delivered to its Caledonia depot, taking the total number of First Bus electric vehicles operating in Glasgow city to 200, accounting for over 40% of the total buses operating out of the two First Glasgow city depots. First Aberdeen, meanwhile, will welcome 24 new electric vehicles, meaning its fleet is now made up of 30% zero-emission vehicles. The approval of ScotZEB funding will also see major infrastructure developments across First Bus's Scotstoun and Aberdeen depots, with both set to receive significant investment in accelerating their electrification, helping to future-proof both depots as First Bus continues towards its commitment to operate a zero-emission bus fleet by 2035. In 2020, First Bus also pledged not to purchase any new diesel buses after December 2022. This commitment goes above and beyond current regulations, solidifying First Bus's position as a leader in the transition to a low-carbon future, according to the company. |
