Tootbus, the world’s first low-emissions sightseeing bus company, has secured approval for plans to install roof-mounted solar panels on their Wandsworth depot, working in collaboration with electric fleet solutions provider VEV.
Tootbus is a leading operator of hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus tours in London, Bath, Paris & Brussels. The company is a market leader in sustainability, having first converted to HVO fuel in 2021, which can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90%. Most recently, its London operations partnered with VEV to power its existing electric vehicles and to help deliver its fleet electrification plan by 2029, with two more HVO-fuelled buses set to be converted to electric power this year.
As Tootbus London continues to convert its fleet to electric power, the general public in the busiest areas of central London will stand to benefit from reduced greenhouse gas emissions and minimised noise pollution, and a reduced impact on the shared National Grid. Mike Nakrani, CEO of VEV said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Tootbus on their journey towards a fully electrified and sustainable fleet. Solar power generation was an integral part of the electrification strategy we developed together. With careful charging scheduling, Tootbus can now maximise the utilisation of clean solar energy when the sun is shining, reducing its reliance on the grid during those times.
