We have committed to funding 4,000 zero emission buses (ZEBs) this Parliament. Across the UK an estimated 3,250 ZEBs have been funded so far.<\/p>
<\/p>
Between financial years 2018-19 to 2022-23 the Department for Transport has provided funding for 2,594 zero emission buses. The number of buses ordered and delivered may change following the outcome of procurement processes undertaken by local transport authorities or bus operators.<\/p>
<\/p>
Table 1 below presents the number of zero emission buses funded between financial years 2018-19 to 2022-23.<\/p>
