#Stagecoach has announced its first fully electric fleet and depot in #Stockton-on-Tees, featuring #Yutong electric #buses, including its first double-decker model. This marks a major step towards the company’s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050 and serves as a blueprint for future electrification across the #UK. The depot will also offer charging access to regional businesses outside service hours. An event in #Middlesbrough brought together stakeholders to highlight the environmental and economic benefits. Supported by the Tees Valley Combined Authority and a £50.6m investment—plus a potential £7.9m from the Government’s ZEBRA 2 scheme—the project reflects Stagecoach’s commitment to a smarter, more sustainable transport network.
