<p>Northern Ireland has proven expertise with hydrogen-electric power in the bus sector
and we have seen the introduction of the world’s first hydrogen-electric double-decker
bus by Wrightbus this year.</p><p> </p><p>The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland
visited Wrightbus in August and recently discussed the opportunities for Northern
Ireland with the Transport Secretary. I and my officials are engaging with DfT and
BEIS on the UK bus and hydrogen strategies and aim to capitalise on our joint ambitions
for these areas. It was good to see Wrightbus recently securing orders for hydrogen-electric
buses through its H2Bus consortium and we look forward to forthcoming announcements
on the UK’s Hydrogen and National Bus Strategies.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
