Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the announcement of 26 March 2022 on Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas scheme, where those buses will be built.

On 26 March 2022 the Department for Transport announced £198.3 million of funding from the Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas (ZEBRA) scheme to 12 local transport authorities, supporting the introduction of 943 zero emission buses and associated infrastructure.

Orders for zero emission buses will be placed by local transport authorities or bus operators. UK bus manufactures are well placed to secure orders for zero emission buses from the ZEBRA scheme.
