Go-Ahead's 1,000th electric bus boosts London's zero-emission fleet

"Go-Ahead London is the largest bus operator in London, running over 2,500 buses across 170 routes, serving more than one million passengers daily. The delivery of the newest bus means that almost half of Go-Ahead London's routes are now served purely on zero-emission buses."

"The zero-emission buses at Go-Ahead London will cut carbon emissions by around 60,000 tonnes each year - equivalent to removing approximately 37,500 cars from London's roads annually. They have a capacity for over 80,000 people."

"London is leading the charge on zero emission buses, with Go-Ahead's 1,000th electric bus joining our 2,800 strong zero emission fleet. Since the Mayor took office, London's bus network has gone from strength to strength, with the number of zero emission buses rising from just 30 in 2016 to nearly 3,000."

Go-Ahead London, the largest bus operator in the capital running over 2,500 buses across 170 routes, has reached a significant milestone with its 1,000th electric bus delivery. This achievement means almost half of the operator's routes now operate exclusively on zero-emission buses. The electric fleet will eliminate around 60,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually, equivalent to removing 37,500 cars from London's roads. Go-Ahead operates 13 depots with charging infrastructure and electric buses, including one of Europe's largest at Northumberland Park. The operator plans to electrify three additional depots this year. London's overall zero-emission bus fleet has grown substantially, reaching 2,800 buses out of approximately 8,800 total buses, representing one-third of the network.
