Ember, an Edinburgh, UK-based electric bus network company, recently announced that it has raised £11M in Series A funding. The round was led by Inven Capital, 2150, and AENU, along with participation from existing investors. The company plans to utilize this funding to accelerate the rollout of its electric bus services and to further invest in EmberOS, the platform that manages the network and enhances the customer experience.
Founded in 2020 by Keith Bradbury and Pierce Glennie, Ember is focused on providing people with a zero-emission and cost-effective way to travel from one point to another.
The company has developed EmberOS, an automated platform that streamlines the entire network operations, including timetabling, ticketing, charging, and maintenance. By operating electric buses with high efficiency, Ember is able to reduce lifetime costs significantly compared to diesel buses, making it an attractive and sustainable transportation option.
Since its inception, Ember has successfully catered to over 750,000 trips on its fleet of fully electric buses. The company's commitment to sustainability and innovation has not only garnered support from investors but has also made a positive impact on the environment by reducing emissions and promoting clean energy. With the latest investment, Ember is well-positioned to expand its services and continue revolutionizing the public transportation sector with its cutting-edge technology and eco-friendly approach.
