BSOG is eligible on a variety of routes and vehicles. Not just those which are of a hybrid variety. Even vehicles of diesel propulsion are eligible.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publicatio...-operators

Towards the bottom of the page are figures, including the uplift that vehicles which hold low carbon receive or which have smart card or avl technology.

Assuming a standard GNE diesel Streetlite meets the criteria and those figures are still accurate, they get the 35p per litre rebate.
Operators who then send out a similar vehicle of a higher euro rating for a few hours on an evening, receive an extra 6p per km. All vehicles may then receive an 8% increase in their BSOG rate if vehicles have operational smartcard systems installed on their vehicles, and a further 2% increase if vehicles are fitted with automatic vehicle location equipment.
