Over 20% of TfL buses zero-emission

More than 2,000 zero-emission buses are now on the capital’s roads, the Mayor of London has announced.

Sir Sadiq Khan said Transport for London’s zero-emission bus fleet was the largest in western Europe, compared to cities such as Paris (France), Berlin (Germany), and Madrid (Spain).

The fleet now represents more than 20% of the capital’s buses, having started with 30 vehicles in 2016. The expansion is part of the Mayor’s ambition to reach net zero carbon by 2030, as the buses do not produce polluting exhaust fumes.

‘I will continue to do everything I can to ensure buses remain the most accessible, affordable, and sustainable form of transport,’ Sir Sadiq said.
