The company 'The Big Lemon' who have been operating in Brighton and Hove for the past 9 years are famous for being environmentally friendly with their uses of waste cooking oil as opposed to conventional petrol or diesel to power their fleet of buses.
Tom Druitt, the managing director of 'The Big Lemon' said "Electric bus technology has progressed quite far. We wanted to try that and embrace it." Bio-diesel (in this case waste cooking oil) has a low carbon footprint over petrol or diesel but there are still emissions involved.

Now, they want to take it one step further and introduce a fleet of solar powered buses which would eradicate the need of the waste cooking oil and would save the company around £20,000 a year in fuel costs. Switching over to solar power would mean a virtually zero carbon approach to transporting thousands of people everyday around a growing city.
This is the first UK initiative of its kind, but there are examples of electric buses in other parts of the UK, including Harrogate and London.
