The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan unveiling the world's first hydrogen double-decker bus before opening the International Zero Emission Bus Conference and Summit at City Hall - (PA)

London has reached a significant milestone in its sustainable transport ambitions, with Mayor Sadiq Khan declaring the capital is "leading the charge in sustainable transport" as its 3,000th zero-emission bus was unveiled.

The new fully electric double-decker, manufactured by Northern Ireland-based Wrightbus, will be operated by Stagecoach London on the 165 route, connecting Romford and Rainham. While the majority of Transport for London’s (TfL) zero-emission bus fleet consists of battery electric vehicles, it also includes 20 hydrogen fuel cell double-deckers.
