  • guidance on how to use the tools
  • a quantified risk assessment template

The greener bus tool is an Excel spreadsheet-based appraisal toolkit to inform the value for money (VfM) assessment of zero emission bus (ZEB) investments.

The minibus version of the tool informs the VfM assessment of zero emission minibuses.

The guidance:

  • sets out how the tool is structured and formatted
  • provides a step-by-step guide to using the tool
  • explains how to use the resulting outputs

A quantified risk assessment (QRA) estimates the expected value of the total cost of schemes, taking into account the additional costs from potential risks. You should use the quantified risk assessment template to estimate total contingency from these risks.

You should read this guidance alongside guidance on how to apply for ZEBRA 2 zero emission bus funding.
