Ian Foley, CEO, Equipmake, said: "Our industry leading integrated zero emission drivetrain system continues to impress new and existing customers, as evidenced with the extension of this contract with Big Bus Tours. This contract extension will increase their repowered fleet by 100% and demonstrates both the quality and efficacy of our products, and also the level of investment being made by businesses across the transport spectrum as they move towards a net zero future.

"We look forward to delivering the 20 repowered buses to Big Bus over the coming year, and providing further updates to the market as we roll out our products and IP across multiple sectors internationally."

Gerry Price, Executive Vice President - Group Operations at Big Bus Tours added: "As part of our drive for global net zero, Equipmake's performance to date with the development of the first 10 buses ordered made the decision to increase the number an easy one and will further progress our class leading zero emissions status in the London tourism market."
