First electric bus in Cornwall

As a Cornwall Councillor, I was proud to support a successful bid that secured £1.3 million from the Government’s Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas (ZEBRA 2) fund. With match funding from Cornwall Council, OTS, and Falmouth Town Council, this investment will deliver fully electric buses and charging infrastructure for the Falmouth Town Service and Truro Park & Ride by October 2025.

Cornwall’s first electric bus launched in Falmouth this month, with six more set to serve Route 70 on the Rame Peninsula from July. By next year, the entire Truro Park & Ride fleet will be electric - cutting emissions and improving air quality.

With an extension of the £3 fare cap for two more years and the Spending Review underway, we are moving toward greener travel and a more sustainable future.
