answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2023 answer text <p>Since February 2020, an estimated 4,200 zero-emission buses (ZEBs) have been funded across the UK, this includes 1,300 ZEBs supported by the £280m ZEBRA scheme. On 8 September 2023, we announced that the ZEBRA 2 scheme would provide up to a further £129m of funding for local transport authorities in England (outside of London) to support the introduction of hundreds more ZEBs and associated infrastructure.</p><p> </p><p>The National Bus Strategy also contained a commitment to set a legal end date for the sale of new diesel buses and set an expectation for when the entire bus fleet will be zero-emission. In spring 2022, the Department ran a consultation to help determine the exact date for ending the sale of new non-ZEBs. Calls for evidence about the decarbonisation of coaches and minibuses were also launched. We will make an announcement on the end of sales date in due course.</p><p> </p><p>In April 2022, the Government increased the rate at which the Bus Service Operators Grant can be claimed for ZEBs to 22p per km, further incentivising the take up of ZEBs.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Durham answering member printed Mr Richard Holden question first answered 23/10/2023 14:30:05 answering member 4813 label Biography information for Mr Richard Holden
