The West Midlands has received a £5.5m government award, giving a major boost to Mayor of the West Midlands Andy Street’s commitment to deliver the cleanest bus fleet in the UK outside London.

The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) has received nearly £3m to upgrade buses to Euro 6 emissions standard across the region, with a further £2.5m going to Coventry.

The funding from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs will enable 350 buses to be retrofitted to Euro 6.

The Mayor’s goal is for the entire fleet in the West Midlands metropolitan area to have Euro 6 engines by April 2021

The Mayor says: “I am delighted that we have been successful in our bid for government funding. This is a massive boost to our ambition to clean up the air in the West Midlands.

“We will now be working with the companies involved to make sure their vehicles are upgraded as soon as possible.”
