Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions he has had with train manufacturers on meeting net-zero carbon emission targets through the use of green technologies.
This question was answered on 26th April 2021
Departmental ministers and officials meet with train manufacturers regularly and discuss decarbonisation and our net zero target.
As well as recent meetings with individual manufacturers, on 22 April I have supported the establishment of the Sustainable Rail Executive, and on 28 April I will be giving a speech at the Rail Industry Association Innovation Conference, where rail decarbonisation will be a key theme.
