Evan Evans Tours has unveiled its first fully electric zero-emissions motor coach – the very first industry sightseeing tour operator in London on fully guided tours to do so.
Guests can now travel in comfort, with enhanced features onboard the new vehicle including complimentary Wi-Fi, USB charging points and full climate control – all while producing zero-emissions from transportation.
The vehicle is PSVAR compliant (The Public Services Vehicles Accessibility Regulations), enabling guests who are fully confined to a wheelchair to travel onboard, as it is fitted with an electric chair lift.
Tom Macklin, Managing Director of Evan Evans Tours said, “We are excited to be launching our first fully electric zero-emission motor coach to our valued guests from around the world who want to enjoy guided day tours around London while helping to reduce our carbon footprint.
These first zero-emission tour departures are part of Evan Evans’ contribution to our sustainability strategy – How We TreadRight – which we share with our sister brands at The Travel Corporation.”
The electric coach can travel 200 miles on a full charge and Evan Evans will be offering select day tour departures including: Buckingham Palace and Royal Windsor Tour, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London and select London Day Tours.
Shannon Guihan, Chief Sustainability Officer of The Travel Corporation commented, “This is a genuinely exciting first step towards our goal to achieve net zero. We are in the throes of having TTC’s science-based carbon reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative and transitioning our fleet of vehicles will play a pivotal role in achieving our net zero ambition.
We hope the introduction of Evan Evans’ first electric coach shows guests what’s possible and what they can expect from us.”
