CPT established the Zero Emission Coach Taskforce at our Zero Emission Coach Conference in December 2021. The taskforce brings together key industry experts including coach operators and manufacturers, infrastructure and finance providers and government observers to identify the challenges to decarbonising our coach fleet, supported by industry evidence. Two reports have now been published.

This report summarises the result of the first stage of the project, demonstrating why modal shift is necessary to ensure a just transition to net zero and desirable for its multidimensional benefits, while the next report will assess different policy interventions to demonstrate that modal shift is possible.

The Bus Decarbonisation Taskforce is a group of senior stakeholders from across the Scottish bus industry, finance, energy and Government. It will create a pathway to decarbonisation for Scotland’s public service bus fleet. CPT represents our members’ interests within the group, advocating a just transition to zero emission.
We are delighted to launch the Coach Strategy, the industry’s first official strategy outlining vital role of coach in UK society and how, with Government support, the industry can thrive and play its full part in the economic and green recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Moving Forward Together strategy sets out how we can get 1 billion more journeys by bus by 2030.
The strategy includes new commitments from the industry, including a pledge to work with government to make every new bus an ultra-low or zero emission bus from 2025.
