There are 3,835 hybrid buses, 950 battery electric buses, and 20 hydrogen fuel cell buses operating in London, as of March 2023, out of a total bus fleet of 8,643 – this is around 56% of the bus fleet.[1]
As of January 2024[update], the battery electric fleet of the city is the second largest in Europe behind of Moscow, which has over 1,600 electric buses operating.[2] Transport for London (TfL) note that the bus fleet has the lowest carbon dioxide emissions per passenger kilometre of other major cities such as New York, Paris and Vancouver.[3]
In 2021, it was announced that all buses in the fleet meet or exceed Euro VI emission standards, following the phasing out of older buses, the retrofitting of diesel vehicles and the introduction of new hybrid & electric buses.[4] From 2021, all new buses will be zero emission, and the entire bus fleet will be zero emission by 2034,[5][6] although TfL have stated that with additional funding, this could be achieved by 2030.[4][7]
