Notice Title

Bus Electrification Scottish Commercial and Economic Context

Notice Description

In 2019 the Scottish Government legislated to increase the ambition of its climate change targets, setting a target of net-zero greenhouse gases by 2045 at the latest. The Climate Change (Scotland) Act also set the world's most ambitious climate change targets for 2030 (75% emission reduction) and 2040 (90% emissions reduction, equivalent to carbon neutrality), and increased the annual targets for every year in between these headline targets. Within Scotland, transport is currently the largest emitting of all sectors and there is strong political and public pressure to decarbonise the transport system at pace. Scottish Government and Scottish Local Authorities are therefore exploring ways and mechanisms to reduce emissions from transport at pace. With respect to public transport there are two intertwined aspects to this: the first is to encourage modal shift from private vehicles to public and other sustainable forms of transport to reduce emissions overall; and the second is to reduce emissions from public transport vehicles through technological advances.
