The city of Glasgow in Scotland will soon get a fleet of zero-emission electric double-deck sightseeing buses to offer one of Europe’s greenest tours.

The launch of 10 new electric buses will make Glasgow the first ever City Sightseeing operator to operate a full fleet of electric vehicles. It is also the first ever Scottish open-top tour to commit to full electric and one of the first in Europe.
