Stagecoach North East has joined forces with Scania to bring Britain’s first biogas-powered double decker to the streets of Sunderland. Numbered 80036; this vehicle has now arrived at Sunderland Depot, and is currently undergoing preparation for service with drivers undergoing familiarisation, prior to entering service. The state-of-the-art gas bus will be trialled on the X24 express service, which runs from Sunderland to Newcastle, from 26th July for six weeks. It is a first for the national bus operator, with Sunderland chosen as the city to demonstrate its latest green technology. The bus has been developed over a two-year period by Scania, the Sweden-based commercial vehicle manufacturer, specifically for the UK bus market. With emissions of carbon dioxide reduced by up to 84 per cent, the vehicle can operate on biogas created from waste products such as household food waste, or waste water. With the capacity to seat up to 76 passengers, Stagecoach North East welcomes the opportunity to host the gas bus during the trial, which it believes will deliver lower running costs, alongside the environmental benefits of cleaner engines.
