The new vehicles would be part of the West Yorkshire Zero Emission bus programme and replace older, more polluting diesel vehicles
It has the potential to reduce carbon emissions in the region by between 12,000 and 17,000 tonnes per year, during the lifetime of the electric buses compared to diesel vehicles.
“This agreement on the plans for more zero-emission buses in our region is a hugely positive step in our vital work to reduce carbon emissions and reach our target of net-zero by 2038," said,“And it’s made even more important by recent figures which showed that one in 22 deaths in our region is due to poor air quality."
The scheme is the latest phase of the Skills Connect programme and will benefit 4,500 people in West Yorkshire up to March 2025.
