Decarbonising heavy vehicles is fundamental to the UK’s ambitions for net zero so SMMT’s latest market figures, published this week, show an encouraging picture whereby a quarter of all new buses, coaches and minibuses joining UK roads are now zero emission. That green growth is helped by strong demand for single and double decker buses, such that, despite a third quarter decline in demand for minibuses, year-to-date the overall market remains ahead.
