England's buses will be helped to go green; thanks to a new £30 million fund to support the purchase of low carbon buses.
This fund is part of the Department for Transport's wider plan to support a major shift to low carbon Road transport and progress air quality in cities.
Bus drivers and councils will be able to offer for the amount which they can then use towards the supplementary up front cost of buying low carbon buses.
As more low carbon buses are produced and sold, costs will reduce. This will give confidence to bus technology and will encourage the market for low carbon buses, an industry in which the UK is a world leader.
