The clause also enables regulations to be made setting out documentation that can be relied upon in deciding whether a new bus is zero-emission. Regulations can also be made setting out any exemptions to the end date on the basis of the type of bus or service if deemed necessary. It is important that the Government have flexibility on these matters—for example, to quickly respond to any change in vehicle registration procedure and to help ensure that there are not adverse consequences from requiring bus services to become zero-emission.
