Using public transport is often a greener alternative to driving a car, and now one company is taking its green ambitions a step further -- by developing a pollution-sucking fleet of buses.
Go-Ahead Group, a British transportation company with a fleet of 5,000 buses in total, confirmed to CNN that it is rolling out 11 new buses in towns and cities across England that clean the air as they go.The buses will be fitted with a three-filter rooftop filtration system that sucks dirt and ultra-fine harmful particles out of the air.
The buses themselves are fueled by diesel, a spokesperson confirmed, though he said the engines were"Euro 6"-compliant -- a vehicle emissions standard set as acceptable by the European Union."We want to play our part in tackling the crisis in urban air quality and show that buses can be integral to cleaning up our cities," David Brown, Go-Ahead's chief executive, said in a statement to CNN.
