The Department for Transport said 34 electric buses will be delivered in Yorkshire in its latest funding round.

First Bus York's depot will be fully electric by March 2024, it said, with 25 new buses funded for West Yorkshire.

The electric buses are being financed through the national Zero Emission Buses Regional Area (ZEBRA) scheme.

Roads Minister Richard Holden said the buses would help "clean up the air" across Yorkshire.

"We're providing an additional £7.6m to roll out 34 new electric buses to provide residents in Yorkshire with better, cleaner and quieter journeys, as we step up a gear to reach net zero faster and level up transport across the country," he said.

Buses will be made by Northern Ireland manufacturer Wrightbus, which is already supplying 44 electric buses for York and 32 for Leeds.
