  • Motion reference: S6M-02212

That the Parliament congratulates First Bus on its successful hosting of the official COP26 electric vehicle charging site at its Caledonia Depot, which, it understands, is the largest such charging station in the UK; notes that UK and international delegates visited its Together for our Planet event throughout COP26 to discuss the future of sustainable energy and transport; recognises that the event was held in partnership with Hitachi and Octopus Energy, which partner First Bus with sustainable transport, energy and infrastructure; welcomes First Bus’s contribution of electric bus shuttle services, which carried thousands of delegates to and from the COP26 campus throughout the two weeks of the event; believes that, in addition to the investment and ongoing delivery of 150 electric buses built by Alexander Dennis, First Bus is also running the UK’s first hydrogen-powered bus services in Aberdeen, and wishes First Bus continued success in its efforts to decarbonise its bus fleets across Scotland’s transport network.
