Buses: Carbon Emissions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of infrastructure required for the operation of zero-emission coaches.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
Our understanding from industry modelling indicates most coach operations could be run using electric coaches with depot charging, but that longer distance journeys would require longer-range coaches and/or infrastructure to be available elsewhere.
My Department will continue to engage closely with the coach industry in all aspects of decarbonisation, including infrastructure.
