Stagecoach launches ebus network03 March 2023

The vehicles can operate from morning to evening on a single daily charge

Stagecoach has launched an electric city bus network in Inverness, Scotland, in which 25 zero-emission Yutong E10 buses are now operating on city centre routes.

The vehicles can operate from morning to evening on a single daily charge and feature USB charging points at each seat, interior LED lights, electric air conditioning and contactless payment facilities.

The £10.8m investment was supported by the Scottish Government’s Zero Emission Bus Challenge Fund. Charging infrastructure was successfully installed at the Inverness depot ahead of the launch.

Minister for transport Jenny Gilruth said: “In addition to better air quality and reduced noise pollution across the city, these modern zero-emission buses will offer an improved customer experience and help more people in Inverness to choose bus.”
