Transport for London has confirmed that six new single deck hybrid buses will be added to the existing fleet, entering service on Monday 19 November 2007 on routes 129 and 360.
According to TFL the new hybrid buses, built by The Wright Group, are cleaner, quieter and use less fuel than a standard diesel bus, which means they emit considerably less carbon dioxide.
Mike Weston, Operations Director for London Buses, said: "London Buses is committed to minimising its impact on the environment. Increasing the number of hybrid buses in the fleet is just one of the projects we are working on to reduce emissions and help tackle climate change."
