Zenobē and National Express have partnered to launch the first sustainable shuttle bus service for Glastonbury Festival. Zenobē will provide eight electric double-decker buses for the Bristol-Glastonbury route, offering a “zero-emission” transportation option.
A pop-up charging station with fast DC chargers and second-life batteries will be set up near the festival grounds.
This collaboration aims to decarbonise mass passenger transport for large-scale events and provide an environmentally-friendly alternative to petrol or diesel vehicles.
Co-Founder and Director of Zenobē, Steven Meersman, said: “It marks an important step in the decarbonisation of the festivals and events industry, where huge numbers of people flock to remote locations for just a few days but to date have not had sustainable ways of getting there.”
Zero Emissions Vehicle Specialist at National Express, Tom Berry, said: “As Glastonbury’s official coach travel partner, we’re experienced in providing reliable and affordable dedicated services direct to Worthy Farm, carrying over 12,000 revellers from all over the UK each year.”
