Cardiff Bus has been successful in gaining funding to retrofit 20 of its vehicles, to make them cleaner and greener as part of its wider investment in reducing its carbon footprint. As part of Cardiff Council’s Clean Air Project, the Clean Bus Retrofit Scheme aims to tackle air quality issues in the Welsh capital.
Cardiff Bus took part in the bid for grant funding which will enable it to upgrade Enviro200 buses from Euro V to Euro VI standards, with 80% of the cost being funded by the scheme and the remaining 20% being covered by the operator. David Conway, Cardiff Bus Service Delivery Director, said: “We are delighted to have been successful in our bid for the Clean Bus Retrofit Scheme funding. Cardiff Council and the Welsh Government have been instrumental in tackling air pollution in the city and this scheme is going to allow us to make our own contribution
towards improving Cardiff’s air quality.
