My department has published which local authorities have received funding from Government-funded schemes to procure new buses through the Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas programme on gov.uk.1

The West Midlands Combined Authority also received £50m in 2021 for the Coventry All Electric Bus City.

In addition, various local authorities have used devolved funding schemes to procure new zero emission buses.
