UK Launches First Air-Filtering Bus In Southampton.

In an effort to tackle air pollution, one of the UK's largest bus and rail operators has launched the country's first filtering bus.

The bus as claimed by the group will clean up air pollution as it drives around the city, using a filtration system on the roof.

David Brown, the chief executive of the group known as Go Ahead said. "We are going to step further in the potential for our buses to actively clean the environment."

"It's a huge development in our environmental leadership and we are also proud to be pioneering the prototype in the UK as World Health Organisation revealed that the city Southampton is at its limits of unsafe air pollution."

The blue diesel bus, which was unveiled on Thursday 27 September, 2018. Is designed with a filter which according to its inventors, will remove ultra fine particles From the air and trap them as the bus moves through the streets.

The filter allows the bus to blow out more pure air such that air behind it is cleaner than that in front of it.

According to Brown, more than fifty thousand buses are to be rolled out the Go Ahead if the trial is successful.
