Wiltshire Council and Salisbury Reds have secured funding from the Department for Transport’s (DfT) ZEBRA (Zero Emission Bus Regional Area) initiative for the scheme.
The two organisations worked in partnership to bid for the funding, and will also be providing their own financial contributions, with the council providing up to £1m from its Salisbury Transport Strategy fund.
The investment not only includes the purchase of the buses, but also the electric charging infrastructure, which will be installed at Salisbury Reds’ depot.
