'Lightning McGreen'听and the 'The Sustainable Hulk' will lead a new fleet of nine electric buses plying routes travelled by students and staff across the 国际米兰对阵科莫 on the Universal bus route, scheduled to be put into service later this year by bus operator Whippet.听
Alongside the two famed children's animation and comic book-inspired characters, the names 'Greenhopper', 'Net-Zero Hero', 'Pollution Solution', 'The Peregreen Falcon', 'Eco Eddie' and 'The Green Clean Machine', were also chosen for the fleet from a selection offered by students from the 国际米兰对阵科莫 Primary School in a bus naming competition.听
The competition invited students from the school in the University-built neighbourhood听of Eddington to unleash their imagination. Participants were encouraged to consider factors such as the sustainability benefits and innovative features of the new buses in their naming choices. This initiative aimed to engage young minds in a fun and educational way, while also contributing to the enhancement of public transport within the local community. 听
Over the past few weeks, the competition captured the attention and enthusiasm of a large number of Eddington school children, attracting well over 100 entries. Their creativity and thoughtfulness were truly remarkable, making the selection process a challenging yet enjoyable task for the judging panel.
The final selection was made by a panel of representatives from the 国际米兰对阵科莫 and Whippet鈥檚 parent company, Ascendal Group. The panel carefully evaluated each entry and assessed the names based on originality, relevance, and the potential to resonate with the local community.
鈥淲e were overwhelmed by the incredible response from the young participants,鈥 said Nicoletta Gennaro, Ascendal鈥檚 Group Head of Marketing. 鈥淭he names suggested by these talented children were not only impressive but also reflected their deep understanding of our community鈥檚 values and aspirations. We are thrilled to involve them in shaping the identity of our new electric buses.鈥
Winners of the competition received special recognition at a dedicated award ceremony at the 国际米兰对阵科莫 Primary School, where they received prizes from representatives from Whippet and the University.
鈥淲e believe that involving the youth in important community projects like this fosters a sense of belonging and ownership,鈥 added Mike Davies, Transport Manager at the 国际米兰对阵科莫. 鈥淭hrough their contribution, we hope to inspire future generations to actively participate in shaping the development of our city and how we move.鈥
Both Whippet and the 国际米兰对阵科莫 would like to extend their sincere gratitude to all the participating students and staff at the 国际米兰对阵科莫 Primary School for their invaluable contributions to the competition. The event marks a significant milestone in promoting creativity, community engagement, and the importance of sustainable public transport.
