Kick Start—estimated investment in new Euro III buses in the UK
| 2001 total fleet15 | 36 104 |
| Less London fleet* | (6 500) |
| Total | 29 604 |
| Suitable market = 10% of above figure | 2 960 |
| Route 7 experience was an investment in new buses equivalent to 75% of the fleet in operation prior to the service change. | |
| Non-London figure for the industry would therefore be investment in 2220 vehicles (i.e. 2960 × 75%). | |
| Total investment, at average of £90 000 per vehicle, would therefore be £200 million. | |
