Solent Electric

We've gone electric with 100% electric, zero-emission buses!

Your new buses in Portsmouth, Fareham and Gosport mean cleaner air and quieter streets, helping to create healthier and happier local communities.

The state-of-the-art, British made zero-emission buses from manufacturer Wrightbus, mean cleaner air and quieter streets for local people. Offering a smoother, more comfortable ride, they are fitted with features including USB charging points, on screen and audio announcements, and the latest in accessibility design.

The £28.6m project to bring electric buses to the Solent region is due to a partnership with Portsmouth City Council and Hampshire County Council which secured £12.7m from government ZEBRA funding* along with a £15.9m investment from First Bus South, the operator of bus services in the Solent region.
