The 6-metre bus will be deployed by Go-Coachhire Ltd (“Go-Coach”), a private operator which provides transport services for Kent County Council. It will serve in Ebbsfleet Valley, an area of major urban development between the towns of Dartford and Gravesend. Twenty-eight electric buses will be put into service on a new Bus Rapid Transit route with funding from government-owned National Highways; the Rightech midibus will be used on demand where necessary.
