Bus franchising is coming to the Liverpool City Region, and with it this yellow and grey Metro livery. The first franchise contracts will commence in autumn 2026 in St Helens and Wirral. As is obligatory with a franchising scheme, many new buses have been ordered in both battery-electric and diesel form. The former are made up of double-decks from Alexander Dennis and Wrightbus, with 108 in total due for use from Gillmoss depot.
Many of those buses have been built for a long time, with infrastructure work at what is currently a Stagecoach Merseyside operating centre having precluded their deployment until now. The 58 Enviro400EV examples have been part-funded by the Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas scheme, while the 50 StreetDeck Electroliners are fruits of the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement money. After a long wait, the StreetDecks began entering service in week commencing 8 June. Here 82416 (MW26 XZA) is seen approaching Liverpool One bus station on an 86C journey.

The only trolleybus operation in Norway is in the western city of Bergen, where a single line is in the hands of Solaris Trollino 18 examples of the Skyss operation such as 3002, seen at the Lyngbo terminus. Although trolleybuses may have an uncertain future in general with the rise of battery-electric buses, the line in Bergen was apparently extended not too long ago. These Trollino models have battery power themselves, and are thus able to run where there is no overhead wire.

For now, the only model of hydrogen-fuelled double-decker bus to carry passengers in the UK is the Wrightbus StreetDeck Hydroliner, although that will change soon when Alexander Dennis enters the fray with its Enviro400FCEV. The Wrightbus product can be found in London, the West Midlands, Belfast and - as seen here - Aberdeen, a city that saw its first hydrogen buses some years ago in a batch of now withdrawn Van Hool A330 models.
While the StreetDeck Hydroliner is no doubt at the vanguard of bus technology, the 25 in Aberdeen have encountered mixed fortunes; an earlier batch required rectification work that, despite them being new only in 2020, has kept some off the road for over a year. Those from the second batch, delivered in 2022, seem to be more successful. Here is 39718 (SV22 VXE) on Broad Street in the Granite City. It is operating the route that it's branded for, which a couple of hours of observations suggest is far from universal practice for First Aberdeen. Its zero-emission fleet will grow further this year with the delivery of a batch of Yutong E12 battery-electric single-deckers.

As well as the more numerous BD11 double-deck model, BYD has begun to put its single-deck battery-electric range into the market. Uno Buses was the first operator to take the range with 12m B12 variants, while in London, Arriva and Metroline are early customers. Those with Arriva appear to be slightly shorter B11 examples. Here EYX7 (LA75 ZDH) is seen near to East Croydon railway station while working a 312 journey to Purley.

The fastest electric car on the market
Elegant, electrically powered sports roadster by the American marque Baker, which at the time was one of the largest producers of electric city cars in the US. With this model Baker tried to make his electric cars look like the petrol-powered competition. The radiator however had no function and the batteries were located in the front under the ‘bonnet’. The floor-mounted dashboard was made up of one Volt and one Ampere gauge. The battery charger can also be seen here.
Walter Baker started working with electric motorcars as early as 1893 and set up his own company in 1899. Although he was successful initially, the popularity of the electric car waned due to the rapid development of the internal combustion engine. The invention of the electric starter, for example, made cranking a thing of the past. Baker halted the production of electric cars in 1916.

It felt like a dream sequence.
With thousands of incoming requests, I happened to be at the right place at the right time to sign up for the first Tesla Model S Sedan, a fully electric, zero emissions car that can go 300 miles and 0-60 in 5.6 seconds.
(The “S-1” designation is a bit magical for me since the filing of a “Form S-1” with the SEC is the commencement of the IPO process. =)
After the car drove out into the party inside the SpaceX rocket plant for it’s public unveiling, Elon Musk took me for the first test drive of the new machine. I took a video of the whole ride.
One cool detail I missed in the video was the door handles extending linearly outward (providing a big grip for opening) and then retracting back into the door frame for a perfectly smooth surface.
The interior design is as radical as the iPhone; most of the dash is a 17" touch screen. There are no buttons or dials. And with a software-defined UI, various skins and web services are available over the 3G data link (as well as Internet browsing and HDTV). I’ll put another request in for an open interface for downloadable engine ring tones (the car is silent, so why not have the drive-by-wire data feed trigger the sounds of your favorite vintage gas-passing vehicle or rocket…)
The batteries and liquid-cooled AC induction motor (i.e., the entire weight of the drive train) are below the wheel line so it handles unlike any car I have experienced.
And that means that there is a trunk in front and in back and more interior space than any other sedan. Toss bikes with the wheels on through the hatchback. Or seat seven people.
Clearly I am enamored. Another short video from outside as the new customers for the Sedan take test drives around the block.
The Yutong brand has seen significant success in the UK, first with diesel coaches and now with battery-electric buses. Another string to the bow of importer Pelican Bus and Coach are battery-electric coaches, with the initial low-height, two-axle TCe12 soon to be joined by a taller and longer tri-axle GTe14.
In the bus world, the E10 and E12 are similar products that are approximately 10m and 12m long, respectively. They have recently been joined by the smaller E9 and the first U11DD double-decker will arrive here soon. The E9, E10 and E12 are all in service in Leicester. Here is an E10 in the Centrebus fleet, 853 (YD72 FFX), operating one of the city's Greenlines services that are among the benefits to have already come out of the successful enhanced partnership involving Leicester City Council and operators.
These E10s were the first Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas part-funded models to enter service anywhere in England and are part of a much wider conversion of fleets in Leicester to battery-electric. Here it passes the railway station while working an 81 journey to Evington.
While China has been closed due to COVID-19 for a long time (only having reopened recently) development has continued at the usual pace while Western visitors were not around to see it. Here in Zhengzhou is a level 4 autonomous bus that is used to serve the large Finance Island manmade development, where it and others run alongside much smaller autonomous shuttle-type vehicles that are also made by Yutong. Sensors can be seen on both front corners.
As it is a level 4 autonomous vehicle it still requires a 'safety driver', but these full-size buses quite happily drive themselves with nobody onboard at the depot area, which is closed off to other traffic. As with all of Zhengzhou's urban bus fleet of several thousand vehicles, these autonomous buses are battery-electric. 5G is used for the necessary communication.
The Wellglade Group-owned Kinchbus fleet in Loughborough has had a significant makeover thanks to the government's Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas scheme, with the arrival of a good number of Yutong battery-electrics. Alongside the established full-size E12 model are some of the smaller E9L type. The E9L is a development of the original E9, which lacked sufficient front overhang for a door wide enough to board and alight a wheelchair user and thus required a centre door for such purposes. Adaptation of that initial product to come up with the E9L in right-hand drive gives an idea of how quickly Chinese manufacturers such as Yutong can come good on product development.
Most of the Kinchbus E9Ls are in Sprint livery for a service linking Loughborough railway station with the town's university. All of the Yutongs have been configured with a neurodivergent-friendly interior specification, which has brought the operator much credit. Here 3104 (YH75 RUV) is seen laying over at the railway station. Behind is the famous Brush works. Notably, all of the Kinchbus Yutongs have seen the manufacturer's badges replaced with a 'K' that is not dissimilar to the logo once used by Kassbohrer.

Tricks of wartime.
War put an end to jaunts in motor cars and petrol galore. Would things ever be the same again ? Peugeot designed and produced this little city two-seater. With its four batteries the VLV was supposed to cover 70 km between the recharges at a maximum speed of 30 km/h.
