UK – The UK government is providing GBP 25.3 million in funding for 117 British-built (Wrightbus) battery electric buses to be rolled out on routes in the counties of Yorkshire, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Hampshire. The 117 zero-emission buses are to be built by Wrightbus Ltd of Ballymena and operated by FirstBus.
