Cleaner, greener buses for Brighton and Hove

1st March 2016

35 buses in Brighton and Hove will be fitted with technology that will reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 90%, helping to create a cleaner, greener city.

Brighton and Hove Buses have partnered with the council and other bus operators to access almost £500,000 of funding from the government’s £7 million Clean Bus Technology Fund.

The green technology will help cut harmful emissions by up to 90% and it is estimated that upgraded buses will completed 130,000 greener journeys a year.

The buses selected regularly pass through the bus low emissions zone, a designated area within the centre of the city where the council has committed to improving air quality and protecting people’s health.

Andrew Jones, Transport Minister, said: “Greener buses mean a cleaner city centre for Brighton and a healthier environment for everyone. The 35 upgraded buses that will soon hit the roads in Brighton continue our commitment to better air quality by investing in greener transport. 

By targeting pollution hotspots and backing the low-emission technology of the future, we are making the right long-term decisions to improve people’s lives.”

The buses will be fitted with exhaust treatment systems and will return to the roads after their upgrades.
