Em outubro deste ano, 125 dos ônibus de Abellio London serão elétricos, contribuindo para a ambição do prefeito da Londres de acelerar a transição para um futuro mais verde para Londres, com ar mais limpo para todos. Os ônibus mais baratos, fáceis, mais rápidos e limpos do que nunca-sem sacrificar a saúde do nosso planeta. Visite a capital, é um lembrete de quão bem um modelo de ônibus regulamentado pode funcionar - e até que ponto nossa área está sendo retida sob nosso sistema desregulado atual. Nossos planos incluem um investimento em corredores verdes e ônibus elétricos, para criar um ambiente mais saudável e limpo que suporta nosso alvo ambicioso a ser líquido zero até 2040, pelo menos um decadão perante o governo nacional. ”
Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram said:
“Buses are the backbone of our region’s public transport system. With so many people relying on their services every day, I want to make our buses cheaper, easier, faster and cleaner than ever before – without sacrificing the health of our planet.
“We’ve already taken some significant steps towards achieving that, having invested in a new, zero-emission hydrogen bus fleet to complement our new £500m battery-operated trains – but I want to go even further, to build a transport network to rival that of London’s standards.
“Every time I visit the capital, it’s a reminder of just how well a regulated bus model can work – and how far our area is being held back under our current deregulated system. It’s one of the main reasons that I’m working to take back public control of our network, so that we can direct any profit we make back into our public transport system. Our plans include an investment in green corridors and electric buses, to create a healthier, cleaner environment that supports our ambitious target to be net zero by 2040, at least a decade before national government.”
