The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the zero emission bus order pipeline will be reviewed and updated on an annual basis throughout the ten year period.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The zero emission bus order pipeline was published to provide greater long‑term certainty to the sector by setting out anticipated demand for new buses over a ten‑year period.

Through the UK Bus Manufacturing Expert Panel, partners have committed to keeping the pipeline under regular review, including updating the data at least twice per year to reflect the latest available information on expected bus orders.
