| 摘要： | First Bus has placed an £81 million order with manufacturer Wrightbus for 193 electric buses as part of a UK Department for Transport (OfT) funding scheme. The order is said to be the largest electric vehicle (EV) bus purchase outside of London and will see new zero emission buses being rolled out across England from March 2023. First Bus will invest f 43m in the new vehicles and will be supported to complete the electric fleet project with a £38m grant from the DfT. First Bus has worked with five local authority partners to secure the funding, which is claimed to help bridge the gap between the cost of a Euro Ⅵ diesel bus and the EV equivalent, as well as the relevant infrastructure costs. The order will include 68 buses in Leicester in partnership with Leeds City Council, 44 buses in York in collaboration with the City of York Council and 32 buses in Leeds in an agreement with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority. The move will also see the deployment of 15 buses in Norwich in a deal with Norfolk County Council and 34 buses in Portsmouth in a tie-up with Portsmouth City Council and Hampshire County Council. |
