You’re right. It’s £48m for low carbon vehicles. £5.53m of that is for hydrogen/biogas, so headline amended to £42m for electrics (rounded down), text corrected. Thanks Matt.

I have clicked through to the data here https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/774207/ultra-low-emission-bus-scheme-winning-bidders.csv/preview

and it looks like it should be £48mn.
Thanks
Matt

Given the reported past bad blood between the two companies, I doubt that there will be opportunities for side by side comparisons, but it could be interesting.
