Cypress, CA– September 6, 2022 – Britain’s finest sightseeing company, Evan Evans Tours, announces its first fully electric zero-emission motor coach on select itineraries, an industry first by a major sightseeing tour operator in London on fully guided day tours. Guests can travel in comfort with the coach’s enhanced features include complimentary WI-FI, USB charging onboard and fully air- conditioned, all the while producing zero-emissions from transportation. Also, the vehicle is PSVAR compliant (The Public Service Vehicles Accessibility Regulations) which enables guests who are fully confined to a wheelchair, can travel onboard, as it is fitted with an electric chair lift.
“We are excited to be launching our first fully electric zero-emission motor coach to our valued guests from around the world who want to enjoy guided day tours around London while helping to reduce our carbon footprint,” says Tom Macklin, Managing Director of Evan Evans Tours. “These first zero-emission tour departures are part of Evan Evans contribution to our sustainability strategy, How We TreadRight, which we share with our sister brands at The Travel Corporation.” he concludes.
The electric coach can travel 200 miles on a full charge and Evan Evans will be offering select day tour departures including: Buckingham Palace and Royal Windsor Tour, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London, and select London Day Tours. These popular London tours are the perfect way to delve into Britain’s rich heritage, explore iconic landmarks, real-life filming locations and famous attractions.
