trentbarton are committed to improving the air that we breathe in the communities we serve.
Over the past 3 years we've invested £15 million in brand new buses, all of which meet the latest Euro VI emissions standard, including for NOx, and will take the number of Euro V1 vehicles in our fleet to 108. Not bad for an independently owned operator.
But we're not satisfied. We're continually looking at ways we can do our bit to reduce air pollution.
On the 17 & 18 January 2019, we'll be trialling a 100% electric bus on our H1 route.
- zero emissions
- smoother ride for customers
- quieter ride inside and out
- low-floor access
- USB and aircharge points
Customers will be offered a free ride so we can ask for their feedback.
Jeff, our managing director, said: "Air pollution in our cities and towns is a problem for everyone. Whilst no one organisation can tackle this challenge alone, we are committed to playing a leading role. Congestion and pollution go hand-in-hand and an effective and attractive bus network should be seen as crucial part of the solution of tackling pollution.
"For an independent local operator, trentbarton has been leading the industry with our delivery standards and customer satisfaction for a number of years. Our drivers are currently ranked as the best in England, and our satisfaction and value for money, as ranked by customers, are some of the highest in the country. There has never been a better time to be using public transport."
