Sights set on 1,000 new battery-electrics each year

摘要

Some routes might be converted to new electric vehicles in mid-contract to avoid sharp fluctuations in demand. New leasing arrangements are also being considered to help operators' finances and all garages are set to be electrified in a £130million programme. In its financial stability plan, Transport for London confirms that it wants to have an entirely zero-emission fleet by 2030, but recognises that the contracting cycle and age of existing vehicles would create significant peaks and troughs in deliveries if it tied their introduction to the start dates of contracts in the route tendering programme.
