Optare Plc. (OPE.L) announced that it has received an order from Nottingham City Council to purchase 20 electric buses, for a total value of more than 4 million pounds.
According to the company, the purchase further enhances Optare's position as one of Europe's leading manufacturers of full-size, commercially viable battery-powered electric buses. This contract sees one of the largest orders for electric buses placed in the UK and allows Nottingham City Council to take the lead in the introduction of this advanced technology, enabling a quieter, smoother and emissions-free travelling experience for passengers, with what is thought will be the largest EV bus fleet in Europe.
