BBC NewsThe 30-mile Orbital service will replace the existing 40 Circleline route, and will connect estates and suburbs on the outer ring road.
The buses will serve sites including Leicester General Hospital, Fosse Park, Meridian and Glenfield Hospital. Councillor Adam Clarke, Leicester deputy city mayor for transport, clean air and climate emergency, said: "The Orbital route is a very well-used service, and switching over to the latest electric vehicles means another significant part of the city's public transport system will now benefit from cleaner, more modern buses."The new route will run in both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions.
