My point was I dont get why you need dedicate a livery to electric vehicles, when after a few months it will be defunct anyway. Specially when further electric vehicles are acquired. IMO the electric aspect should be focused on the rear of the vehicle and the cant rail, without sacrificing almost 2 years of creating a new visual link between corporate and branded vehicles
At the end of the day, an electric motor is just a different type of engine. It's still a bus that moves people. Not really anything special about it.
I can see why they'd want a dedicated livery to promote the 'eco friendliness' of it, but I personally think the Green Arrow livery design should have been kept for the EVs, if they wanted to go down that route as it really would work as an eco livery.
All they'd have to do is think of a marketable name for it, like Voltra, and slap it on the side instead of the 'Green Arrow'
