Arriva Invests £17m to Electrify London Depot for Zero-Emission Buses
In a welcome move towards cleaner transport infrastructure, Arriva has confirmed a £17 million investment to electrify one of its key London depots, making way for 30 new zero-emission buses.
This is not just a transport milestone — it’s a significant civil engineering project. Converting depots for electric fleets involves complex retrofits, upgrades to power infrastructure, and the rollout of smart charging solutions. Contractors and specialists in EV infrastructure will be eyeing this as a prime opportunity.
As the capital commits to reducing carbon emissions, projects like this set the bar for how construction must evolve to support a greener urban future. The ripple effects on construction logistics, site management, and supply chains are immense — and growing.
