There are approximately 35,000 buses in the English bus fleet, meaning around 5.8% of the total fleet has been retrofitted between 2015 and September 2019 through the CBTF. A further 2,793 buses are scheduled to be retrofitted from the most recent round of funding. Many buses are Euro VI or better and are already of a standard that does not require retrofitting in order to avoid Clean Air Zone charges.</p> answering member constituency Mid Norfolk answering member printed George Freeman question first answered 09/09/2019 12:12:09 answering member 4020 label Biography information for George Freeman
