Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to his oral contribution of 14 July 2021, Official Report, column 408 on the 900 buses in production, where those buses are being manufactured; and (a) where and (b) when those buses will enter service and c) when these buses will enter service.
We remain committed to introducing 4,000 zero emission buses and achieving an all zero emission bus fleet. Since February last year, we’ve made funding available for up to 900 zero emission buses, with over 50 of these already on the roads.
A number of UK bus manufacturers are well placed to benefit from this funding, supporting jobs and a green recovery for the sector.
