Request ID: FOI-0961-1819
Date published: 10 August 2018
You asked
Please can you release any documents/reports/maps/images etc related to proposals for charging electric buses outside of depots, created during 2016, 2017 or 2018?
To be clear I am referring to pure electric buses and I am interested into any reports or briefings (perhaps prepared by or for the Director of Innovation who works under the Director of Surface Transport)?
We answered
Our Ref: FOI-0961-1819
Thank you for your request received on 6 July 2018 asking for information about charging pure-electric buses.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and TfL’s information access policy.
Unfortunately we do not hold the information you have requested as we are not currently at a stage where we have put forward any proposals relating to pure-electric buses and charging outside of garages/depots.
The ZeEUS buses and the proposed Pantograph trial buses are diesel/electric range extended buses, and both bus types require the use of diesel engines. Please see the links below for more information:

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
Yours sincerely
