Lower running costs, greener stops, better journeys.

From individual shelter replacements to integrated mobility hubs and infrastructure delivered under Section 106 obligations, we coordinate delivery through our specialist supply chain to create practical, welcoming spaces that support public transport and active travel.

Our solar lighting offers an off-grid option for locations where a mains connection is impractical or costly, helping councils improve passenger waiting areas and public spaces.

Partnering with contractor Volker Highways, we provided over 160 customised solar-powered 3iS-M50 to fit the mechanical construction of Luton’s two-bay bus shelters. The solution provided reliable illumination without the need for grid connections, reducing installation and maintenance costs while ensuring long-term durability.

Proof

Transforming Luton’s bus shelters

The solar lighting system is virtually maintenance-free, with no energy costs and minimal upkeep required. This fit-and-forget solution will last many years, with battery maintenance unlikely for at least a decade.
