Volvo Buses has secured its first order for electric buses from London bus operator Go-Ahead, with 25 Volvo BZL Electric single deck buses set to join Go-Ahead's fleet in the capital. These buses will be charged overnight at the company's depot using a CCS 2 cable and a bank of 150kW DC chargers, aligning with sustainability goals. The buses will be manufactured at Volvo Buses’ plant in Sweden, powered by 100% renewable energy. This move represents a positive step towards reducing carbon emissions in London. The UK continues to lead in Europe as the largest zero emission bus market, with 1,570 new electric or hydrogen buses entering service in 2024, reflecting a 35.5% increase in demand. The growth is partly attributed to the availability of more models. Government initiatives like the ZEBRA scheme have played a crucial role in boosting the electric bus fleet, with expectations of further growth in 2025. This progress underscores the UK's commitment to achieving net zero goals, enhancing air quality, and providing sustainable public transport nationwide.
