answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2020 answer text <p>To assess the impact of 4,000 Zero-Emission Buses (ZEBs) on air quality, the Department has analysed how various factors of air quality would change with changing the fleet. Using data from the TAG Databook, factors such as the cost of carbon, CO2, NOx and PM2.5 emissions have been considered. It must be noted that the change in air quality depends on numerous factors such as the model and age of the vehicle being replaced and the average speed of the vehicles. Definitive changes in air quality will depend on where the buses are deployed.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 07/09/2020 16:00:32 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean
