What is being bought
As part of TfW's approach to decarbonisation of the Welsh bus fleet, early supplier engagement is sought to support the development of a strategy for bus depot EV infrastructure installation, management and ownership. The strategy aims to plan and standardise TfW's approach to charging infrastructure in bus depots. Having subject matter experts support on the development of this work will ensure that TfW and the market have worked in coordination to develop an achievable scope of work. Following NetZero objectives, TfW aim to incrementally decarbonise the national bus fleet. This will include having depot sites that can facilitate the operation and maintenance of battery electric buses across the country. Each of these depots will need to have sufficient charging infrastructure to ensure the fleet is operable. Currently, all infrastructure types are being considered for use.
