Report finds progress in UK Low Carbon Emissions Bus uptake, but a need to review incentives

Green Car Congress

LCEBs are defined as vehicles producing at least 30% fewer lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions than a current Euro-III-equivalent diesel bus of the same total passenger capacity. There is a difference in which technologies are of interest at this payback rate, with hybrid being more favored and gas the least (but still with some interest).
