Stagecoach North East
This vehicle, which carries a green variation of Stagecoach's corporate livery to promote more envionmentally-friendly public transport, has arrived into the Stagecoach North East fleet, and is currently being prepared for service. Representing an investment of approximately £7.5m (partly funded by the Green Bus Fund), this batch of vehicles are believed to be in line to upgrade high-frequency cross-city routes 39 and 40. As well as featuring a special two-tone green variant of the Stagecoach corporate livery, this batch of vehicles also sport a modified corporate interior, based around green and yellow hues rather than the more familiar blue and orange. Powered by an electric-hybrid system which uses two power sources (the traditional diesel engine and a highly sophisticated battery system), these vehicles use approximately 30% less fuel and emit nearly a third less carbon than a standard conventional bus, providing customers with a cleaner and greener bus service which has a smoother, more comfortable ride.
