Dr Andy Palmer @ Autocar Pro EV Forum: "I hope India & the rest of the world legislates urgent adoption of EV buses. Buses, delivery vehicles & taxis are the prevalent source of pollutants in urban air & the easiest to fix. I call upon all govts to expedite their replacement."

Lots of talk about electric cars at today's @UK_LeadersLIVE discussion, but I also made the point that electric buses are already cheaper than their diesel counterparts over a 12 year period. It's exciting to think where we'll be after several years of innovation @OptareGroup

Nice to see #ClaphamJunction gain it's first electric bus route, with these smart @Optaregroup double deckers on the C3 service - more to come next year with the electrification of route 49 planned.
Are friends electric? Certainly for buses in #London seemingly.⚡🚍

Had to pop into town so thought I'd jump on one of these new @Optaregroup fully electric Metrodeckers that @TowerTransit are in the process of introducing to their 23 & C3 routes in #London. Really smart looking vehicles & a smooth ride. Nice interiors with great legroom too👍
