Ember, an Edinburgh, UK-based electric bus network company, raised £11M in Series A funding.
The round was led by Inven Capital, 2150 and AENU with participation from existing investors.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate the rollout of its electric bus services and further invest in EmberOS, the platform that controls the network and delivers an enhanced customer experience.
Founded in 2020 by Keith Bradbury and Pierce Glennie, Ember builds and operates an electric bus network that gives people a zero-emission and affordable way to get from A to B. Ember has developed an automated platform, EmberOS, which orchestrates the entire network, from timetabling and ticketing to charging and maintenance. Precision operations allow it to run utilisation electric buses, lowering lifetime costs below the diesel equivalent.
Over 750,000 trips have been made on Ember’s fleet of fully electric buses.
