Ember, a Scottish startup, is charging ahead with plans to create the UK’s first extensive all-electric intercity bus network, having secured $14 million in Series A funding. Founded in 2019, Ember began with a single electric coach, gradually expanding its fleet to connect major Scottish cities. The company now operates 38 buses, including 14 advanced models boasting a 563 kWh battery for longer ranges.
This expansion is part of Ember’s mission to provide a sustainable travel option, integrating technology and eco-friendly practices. The latest funding will fuel further growth, including new charging hubs powered by renewable energy. Ember’s full-stack approach, leveraging proprietary software for fleet management and customer service, sets it apart in the push for green transportation solutions.
