Even more electric buses are coming to Leicester!
If you travel by bus in Leicester, you'll soon be able to enjoy even cleaner, quieter and more sustainable journeys.
Leicester City Council is set to purchase a further 10 fully electric buses through leading zero-emission bus supplier Pelican Engineering Group, using around £4 million of Government funding, as the city continues its transformation towards one of the UK's largest fully electric urban bus networks.
The new electric buses are being added to the Leicester Buses network, operating on Centrebus routes 20, 24, 81, 83 and 162.
They'll provide smoother journeys, improved accessibility and help create cleaner air for everyone.
This is another exciting step in the Leicester Buses One Network partnership, which is making bus travel simpler, greener and better value across the city through five customer promises:
Electric
Frequent
Reliable
Easy
Great Value
By the end of 2026, around 200 electric buses will be operating across Leicester, with even more arriving in 2027 as the city moves towards an almost entirely electric bus network.
Whether you're travelling to work, school, the shops or meeting friends, we're making it easier than ever to choose the bus.
