ADL UNVEILS VISION TO SUSTAIN AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS IN UK TOWNS AND CITIES WITH 10,000 CLEAN BUSES
Notes to editors
10,000 new clean buses over 4 years would approach normal levels of investment. UK operators historically registered between 2,500 and 3,000 new buses per year, although in the last two years this fell to under 2,000 buses due to the impact of previous governments’ cuts to support and socially necessary services.
Over three quarters of UK demand for buses is met by domestic manufacturers, including ADL, keeping investment in the country.
UK bus services require specific vehicle types such as double deckers which are uncommon in other countries and therefore not generally offered by international suppliers. A healthy and vibrant domestic bus manufacturing industry is crucial to prevent a dependence on unsuitable, imported products.
The UK bus manufacturing industry has been at the forefront of bringing efficient and cost-effective low, ultra low and zero emission bus technologies to market, often ahead of their development and deployment in other countries.
