Two bus routes will become the UK's first to use only electric double-deck buses, beginning this fall.

The first five zero-emmision fully electric buses have been delivered and will begin operation in London through Metroline.
The 42-foot vehicle can accommodate up to 70 passengers.

Manufactured by Alexander Dennis Inc., the bus features 81 seats, including 53 seats on the second deck.
Vehicles offer more than 40% more seating than the 60-foot articulated buses they replaced.
