Transport for London (TfL) has revealed that it has hit the milestone of 2,000 zero-emission buses [6 June 2025], up from 30 in 2016.
TfL’s target is to make its entire bus fleet zero-emission by 2030, with the 2,000th zero-emission bus milestone reached as part of ongoing action to improve London’s air quality.
TfL reported that since 2021, all new vehicles joining the fleet have been zero-emission, and all of TfL’s other buses meet or exceed Euro VI emission standards.

Additionally, Route 337 is the capital’s newest fully electric bus route, meaning two in every nine London buses is zero-emission.
Research director at Centre for London Rob Anderson said: “Decarbonising London is an urgent priority as we approach a critical moment in global environmental policy, and it is welcome that the mayor and Transport for London are leading the transformation.
“Data from our survey partnership with Savanta has found that two thirds of Londoners consider it important to them that London achieves net zero by 2030, with more than half of Londoners feeling personally impacted by climate change.
“As our latest report on Health-led Placemaking in London Bridge showed, the quality of our public realm and its environment has a much larger impact on the city’s workers than just its appearance.
“With more than a fifth of the capital’s red buses now zero-emission, it sets a standard for other global cities in the importance of promoting sustainable travel to support economic growth, resident wellbeing, and the connectivity of a thriving capital.”
