Arriva Low Emission Vehicles

[DOG101]

Arriva Low Emission Vehicles
Extracted from the Merseytravel committee agenda items of 01 October 2015.
Not sure if this has been reported elsewhere!


The opportunity to be part of the Liverpool City Region Low Emission Bus Scheme was offered to all operators. Initially Stagecoach and Arriva expressed an interest in the scheme however; unfortunately Stagecoach recently withdrew from the bid due to a Group decision to only to submit 3 bids nationally. Therefore the only operator now involved in the bid is Arriva, details of their proposed projects are included in the table below:

Route No. No. of buses Technology
26/27 12 100% electric single deck buses
82A 9 Gas Buses
14, 18, 79 51 Diesel hybrids

Infrastructure required
26/27 8 x Electric Vehicle charge points at Green Lane depot
82A No infrastructure required, already in place at Runcorn depot.
14, 18, 79 No infrastructure required

Although only a proposal anyone confirm if this is this likely to happen?
