McGill’s Buses marked reaching the milestone of 12 million miles via battery-electric buses by welcoming Jim Fairlie, Scottish Government Minister for Connectivity, for a tour of its Johnstone depot.

The Scottish independent operator discussed with the MSP its sustainability goals and the minister received chance to explore zero-emissions vehicles.

Mr Fairlie says: “It’s inspiring to see McGill’s Buses at the forefront of Scotland’s transition to greener, cleaner transport.

“Achieving 12 million electric miles is a remarkable milestone that demonstrates their dedication to reducing emissions and promoting sustainable travel. The Scottish Government is committed to supporting operators like McGill’s, as we work together towards a net-zero future.”

Tony Williamson, CEO of McGill’s Buses, adds: “Welcoming Mr Fairlie to our Johnstone Depot gave us an excellent opportunity to showcase our progress in delivering a zero-emission future.

“Reaching 12 million electric miles is a testament to the hard work of our team and our continued investment in cutting-edge technology. We’re excited to play a leading role in Scotland’s journey to net-zero emission and will continue to build on this momentum to provide cleaner, greener public transport for all.”

McGill’s has invested ÂŁ74 million in fleet and infrastructure as part of its decarbonisation plans.
