More than £90m is being invested in 160 new electric buses, creating "smoother, quieter and greener journeys".
The new fleet will operate across Bristol, Somerset and Wiltshire by next summer as part of First Bus' mission to cut its emissions over the next ten years.
Depots will also be electrified at Bath's Weston Island and Lawrence Hill in Bristol during the project, which is jointly funded by First Bus and the government.
Doug Claringbold, managing director for First Bus in the West, said: "We're now a year away from nearly half our fleet being electric and nearly all our depots being electrified – that's a phenomenal achievement."
