Notice Information
Notice Title
Cambridgeshire County Council Early Adoption of Low Emission Buses
Notice Description
Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) are exploring opportunities to partner with an experienced public transport operator to facilitate the early adoption of Low Emission Buses (LEB) running on one or more routes within Cambridge. The early adoption LEB bus initiative will be a demonstrator that will focus on LEB operating on services within Cambridge City and South Cambridgeshire and which pass through the city centre, with the aim of lowering emissions and the dependence on fossil fuels. Buses may be of mixed technology ranging from full battery operated vehicles with depot charging, to the latest stop/start hybrid buses that are capable of automatically switching to electric mode and Geofencing within a designated air quality area within the city. The project will support the clean air agenda being developed by GCP partners and will be an exemplar of the use of low emission technology for public transport. The project is aimed at working with a partner operator and / or manufacturer to initially support the initial transition towards the aspiration of a 100% LEB fleet in Cambridge by 2031. It will provide data and other information that will help to understand the economic opportunities and issues faced by this challenge. The use of LEB and data obtained from their use will support the transition from diesel vehicles to LEB in order to reduce harmful emissions within the city with the eventual aim of 100% zero tailpipe emissions by 2031. Please see the attached document "LEB Market Testing" for further information.
