![]() ![]() It’s great to have Warwickshire’s first electric bus at National Grid, so we can encourage and support colleagues to reduce their impact on the environment too.” Lorna McAtear, UK Fleet Manager at National Grid, said: “National Grid has an important role in enabling the rollout of future clean transport, so it’s important we keep leading the way with our own transport and fleet. Transport makes up 23% of energy-related carbon emissions globally and National Grid has committed to an all-electric fleet in the UK by 2030. The free service, which transported around 460 employees every day before Covid-19 restrictions, is expected to cover 50,000km on the route annually, resulting in savings of nearly 30 tonnes of CO 2 per year. National Grid has contracted the company to run the electric bus on a dedicated service for employees. The air-conditioned bus, which runs solely on electricity, takes around four hours to charge and runs up to 370km before recharging. We are investing in infrastructure to ensure a more resilient power grid, creating a balanced energy mix and installing high-speed electric vehicle charging stations across the state, all while keeping your bill well below the national average.Warwickshire has its first fully electric, zero-emission bus thanks to a partnership between National Grid and Stagecoach.
