Buses: Manufacturing Industries
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer from Lord Leong on 29 June (HL1212), what plans they have to support the UK bus manufacturing industry.
- Answer
-
The Government is supporting the UK bus manufacturing industry through DRIVE35, which backs the design, development and manufacture of zero emission vehicles, including buses. This will help UK manufacturers and suppliers invest in new technologies, scale up production and strengthen domestic capability. In March, the Government announced £73.2 million in additional zero emission bus funding to support the delivery of 484 zero- emission buses across 10 projects in England. The Government has also published a 10-year zero-emission bus order pipeline, updated twice yearly, to give manufacturers greater visibility of future demand.
