Three ethanol powered buses, along with one diesel bus as a control, have been running on
Nottingham City Transport (NCT) Route 30 Ecolink service since April 2008.
In addition, a bespoke fuelling station has been built at the NCT Depot on Lower Parliament St,
positioned to be accessed by other companies and vehicle types in the future, if required.
The total cost for the buses and fuel installation of £520K was secured by Nottingham City
Council (NCC) via a bid to the East Midlands Development Agency. NCC are responsible for the
implementation, formal monitoring and evaluation of the trial. On-going additional running costs are
currently funded by Nottingham City Council.
