The impact of competition from overseas manufacturing on the UK's bus manufacturing industry continues to be monitored. The UK bus manufacturing industry has been successful in winning most of the orders for the zero emission bus regional areas (ZEBRA) programme.

Where UK industry believe that they are being injured as the result of unfair foreign trading practices, such as dumped or subsidised imports, they can apply to the Trade Remedies Authority as the UK's independent body responsible for the conduct of trade remedy investigations.
