Our New Electric Coach Has Arrived – Here’s Where It’s Already Taking Customers
Our New Electric Coach Has Arrived
A new chapter has arrived at Acklams Coaches.
We’re excited to welcome our new electric coach into the fleet — bringing together modern comfort, quieter journeys and lower-emission travel for customers across Yorkshire and beyond.
But this isn’t a concept vehicle or something reserved for special occasions.
It’s already out on the road and being enjoyed by customers on real journeys.
Sustainable Travel That Still Feels Like a Great Day Out
Electric transport is often talked about as something for the future.
For us, it’s already happening.
Our new electric coach has been introduced as part of our continued investment in modern travel experiences, helping reduce emissions while maintaining the comfort and reliability our customers expect.
Passengers still enjoy:
Comfortable seating
Smooth and quiet journeys
Modern onboard facilities
The same professional service and experience
Just with a different type of journey powering the day.
Available for Hire and Already Out on the Road
Our new electric coach isn’t just supporting our own programme of day trips, it’s also available for private hire.
That means schools, businesses, community groups and event organisers can now experience lower-emission coach travel for their own journeys too.
The coach is already operating on selected day trips and excursions to destinations including:
Whitby
Flamingo Land
Scenic Yorkshire routes
but it’s equally suited to:
Corporate travel
School transport
Private group hire
Event transport
Day excursions
Sustainable travel initiatives
Whether planning a local journey or something further afield, electric travel is now becoming a practical option for more group journeys than ever before.
What Customers Notice First
The most common feedback?
How quiet it is.
Without the traditional engine noise, many passengers notice a calmer atmosphere onboard and a smoother overall journey experience.
For some customers, the difference is subtle.
For others, it completely changes their perception of coach travel.
Part of a Wider Investment in the Future
Introducing electric travel isn’t about changing everything overnight.
It’s about continuing to invest in the future while maintaining the service standards that customers expect today.
Our fleet already includes a wide range of vehicle types, and electric travel is another exciting step forward as technology continues to develop.
