Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many zero emission buses have been (a) ordered and (b) are currently operational.

We are committed to supporting the introduction of at least 4,000 zero emission buses and achieving an all zero-emission bus fleet across the UK. Since February 2020, across the UK, an estimated 4,193 zero emission buses have been funded, of which 1,288 have been ordered and 1,017 are on the road. These numbers are not official statistics: they are based on the latest information and are therefore subject to change. They do not include complete figures for the number of buses that have been ordered or on the road in the devolved nations.
