A new fleet of electric buses are now serving passengers in Gedling borough as part of a £32.2m project.
The Red 50 service from Victoria Retail Park, Netherfield, to the city was one of the first to be served by the new fleet on Monday (8).
Zero emission buses will also carry passengers on Blue 39 to Thorneywood and Carlton Valley.
The single-decker buses, which are partly funded by the government, cost around £400,000 each and have a range of up to 275 miles.
Nottingham City Transport (NCT) aims to end the use of diesel buses and help the city become carbon-neutral by 2028.
The firm expects to have changed its entire fleet to electric by 2034.
David Astill, NCT managing director said, “This is the very start of an exciting new era in the long history of NCT.
“We are keen to play our part as Nottingham aspires to be carbon-neutral by 2028. The delivery of our first 24 electric buses marks just the start of a programme that will see our remaining diesel powered buses leave the fleet over the next four years.”
