Over 50 electric buses to enter service in London

Two London bus routes, the 507 and 521, will be replaced with a new fleet of electric buses from autumn next year.

Transport for London (TfL) announced that 51 all electric buses will be operating across the two routes, making them the second and third pure electric bus routes in London, as a part of its continued commitment to improve the city’s air quality.

The five year contract to operate the routes was awarded to Go Ahead, with the manufacturer of the buses yet to be announced. The 51 electric buses are expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 408 tonnes, and NOx emissions by 10 tonnes per year, when compared to single deck diesel buses.
