77 RNG-powered Buses Launched in Bristol, UK
UK-based bus transportation firm First West of England has launched 77 biomethane-powered buses in the city of Bristol. The first 10 biogas buses came into operation in January 2020, refuelling at an existing biogas station that opened in 2019. As part of the company’s latest initiative, First has constructed a new gas filling station at the Lawrence Hill depot where the new buses can now refuel.
Another 27 buses took to the streets of Bristol this week. The new buses feature Scania chassis built in the UK and will reduce emissions by 85%, as well as giving customers an ‘improved on-board experience’, according to First, with comfortable interiors, USB charging points and additional wheelchair space.
