Feel The Power: Solent From First Bus Introduces Converted NewPower Electric Buses
The title of this post, is the same as that as this press release from NewPower.
These first three paragraphs add more detail.
Repowered vehicles from Oxfordshire-based NewPower will be running on the streets of Solent for the first time as First Bus introduces four newly converted electric buses into service in Portsmouth, Fareham and Gosport.
The ‘repowered’ diesel vehicles have been fully refurbished to a near-new standard and converted to electric power at NewPower’s hi-tech Bicester factory, delivering more environmentally friendly travel for passengers.
Repowered buses converted from diesel to battery-electric by NewPower are the most efficient on the market with a class-leading range of more than 230 miles, recent data has shown.
It certainly seems to me, to be a way to put more affordable zero-carbon buses on the roads.
