The Government is committed to decarbonising the UK bus fleet. Since 2010 over £240 million has been provided to fund the cleanest buses, and in February 2019 announced the winners of a £48 million scheme which will fund a further 263 zero emission buses. The Road to Zero Strategy also sets measures towards cleaner road transport, adding up to nearly £1.5 billion of investment and one of the most comprehensive packages of support for the transition to zero emission vehicles in the world.
