Develop the UK’s first all-electric-bus town
Last updated 4 years ago
Conservative Party Manifesto 2019, p.28We will invest in electric buses, developing the UK’s first all-electric-bus town.
Our verdict
- This is a promise to change the entire bus fleet of a town to vehicles powered by electricity.
- From 30 April to 4 June 2020, the government invited towns and cities to express initial interest in bidding for up to £50 million to pay for the conversion of buses and for electric charging points.
- Funding has been announced and the bidding process is under way, so this policy is ‘in progress’.
There's always room for debate
We’re serious about providing clear, up-to-date, non-partisan information. We focus on being consistent and fair in how we reach our verdicts, and always explain our reasoning. But there is always room for debate. So if you see it differently, we’d love you to tell us why. Or even better, submit an edit.
