Zero Emissions

Leading owner & operator of zero emission buses

The world is at a crossroads. If we keep going in the same direction, we’re headed for a climate disaster.

As an industry leader, we have a responsibility to the planet. But we don’t just want to do less harm – we’re committed to doing the most good and pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

We're committed to encouraging people to use public transport, and working with our partners to decarbonise public transport.

That’s why we’re on a mission to remove every diesel bus off the road along with the millions of tons of greenhouse gases they emit.

We recognise our responsibility in moving people in a way that treads even more lightly on our planet.

The benefits of a greener future are clear to see.

Imagine a clear blue sky, and transport that’s almost silent. We’re helping more cities make it happen. Right now, we’re supporting key governments and authorities with the transition of transport networks to electric.

We’re implementing changes across Australia and New Zealand, and throughout the UK. And it’s only set to grow.

We have the know-how and experience to scale up renewable energy and electrification infrastructure, ensuring that it remains cost-efficient and reliable.

Auckland, New Zealand

Delivering 152 electric buses to Auckland

Auckland Transport (AT) signed a deal with Kinetic's NZ Bus in 2021 to deliver the country's largest electric bus order to the city's bus network over 4 years.

Kinetic then unveiled Australasia's largest and New Zealand's first fully electric bus depot in East Auckland, home to the first wave of 35 new electric buses.

Within two years of AT announcing the initiative, Kinetic is on track with the roll-out of the vehicles improving the environmental impact of the city's bus network.
