The Hengrove transformation is planned to get underway shortly.</p><p>Work at both depots, which is being carried out by construction teams from engineering specialist NG Bailey for Hengrove and Magnus Construction Group for Weston-super-Mare, is expected to be completed by March 2025, with the electric buses arriving soon after.</p><p>As well as supplying the sites with increased power, the projects will see almost 400 tonnes of steel used across multiple gantries which will distribute power to charge the new buses.</p><p>Electrifying the depots will also provide facilities for local companies to charge their electric vehicles, and bring green employment and training opportunities, including upskilling the existing engineering team, and providing apprenticeship opportunities for local people.</p><p>The electrification programme has been made possible thanks to partnerships between First West of England and the West of England Combined Authority and North Somerset Council, who together secured a total of almost £9 million of government funding through its Zero Emissions Bus Regional Areas 2 (ZEBRA2) project.</p></div> </div> <div class="node-image mdl-cell-12-col"> </div> <div class="clearfix tags my-4"> <span class="badge badge-lg primary-bg font-light me-1 mb-1"><a href="/government-initiatives-innovations-and-legislation" hreflang="en">Government initiatives, innovations, and legislation</a></span> <span class="badge badge-lg primary-bg font-light me-1 mb-1"><a href="/electrification-fleets" hreflang="en">Electrification of fleets</a></span> <span class="badge badge-lg primary-bg font-light me-1 mb-1"><a href="/company-news" hreflang="en">Company News</a></span> <span class="badge badge-lg primary-bg font-light me-1 mb-1"><a href="/energy-grids-and-power-supply" hreflang="en">Energy Grids and power supply</a></span> </div> </div> </article> </div> <div class="views-element-container section-wrap mb-4 block" id="block-evci-views-block-solr-index-block-1"> <h2>Related Content</h2> <div><div class="js-view-dom-id-9081be564e3120e9533300d3db1d1c0dd13b5436b37ec9d3c48367e35cf214d8"> <div class="views-view-responsive-grid views-view-responsive-grid--horizontal" style="--views-responsive-grid--column-count:2;--views-responsive-grid--cell-min-width:100px;--views-responsive-grid--layout-gap:10px;"> <div class="views-view-responsive-grid__item"> <div class="views-view-responsive-grid__item-inner"><article data-history-node-id="1050" about="/news/electreon-install-first-wireless-electric-road-norway"> <div class="article-teaser-solr-container my-2"> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between"> <div class="meta"> <div class="col font-sm font-grey"> June 28, 2023 </div> <div class="font-md font-dark bold"> <div> <a href="/news/electreon-install-first-wireless-electric-road-norway" rel="bookmark"> <span>Electreon to install the first wireless electric road in Norway</span> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="img text-end"> <a href="/news/electreon-install-first-wireless-electric-road-norway" hreflang="en"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/evci/files/styles/medium/public/2023-06/Electreon%20to%20install%20the%20first%20wireless%20electric%20road%20in%20Norway%20%28002%29.jpg?itok=DJrYewdK" width="220" height="147" alt="Electrifying buses in Trondheim presents exceptional local challenges.
