Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many zero emission buses funded through the Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas scheme (a) have been ordered and (b) are on the road.

Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas (ZEBRA) scheme funding was awarded in October 2021, March 2022 and March 2023. The scheme will support an estimated 1,342 zero emission buses of which, so far, 725 have been ordered and 6 are currently on the road. We are committed to supporting the introduction of 4,000 zero emission buses and achieving an all zero-emission bus fleet across the entire UK. Across the UK, an estimated 3,400 zero emission buses have been funded so far.
