The following is a transcript of a video posted to model-kurimizumi's social accounts.

“I’m here in Burnaston, just outside of Derby, where the Toyota factory is — and where Suzuki hybrid cars are manufactured. I’ve come here because I want to talk about the future of our transport systems in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

“I was clear at the rally in Derby that we need to tackle climate change head on, right now. We can’t wait. Labour introduced the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars, and we remain committed to that coming into effect in 2030. But we need to ensure that the charging infrastructure is there. I drove here this morning in my Renault Zoe, and I was shocked to see on Zap Map the lack of charging infrastructure in the Peak District. You can drive for miles and miles only to come across a charging point, like the one in Hope, that’s blocked by engineering works! I want to ensure that we can transition to a greener future. Maybe I’m a little biased, but the Peak District is the most beautiful area in the country. But to remain accessible to everyone, we need the charging infrastructure.

“That’s why Labour will invest into charging infrastructure across the country, including in rural areas that tend to miss out on infrastructure investment. And we’ll not stop at electric charging either. Hydrogen cars and another alternative, and we want to ensure that these can be brought to market by manufacturers by committing money towards hydrogen refuelling stations.

“One of the problems with charging is that there are so many standards out there. My little Renault Zoe takes a Mennekes Type 2 connector. But most of the investment in charging infrastructure has gone into CCS charging points. Cars which support CCS can charge from CCS or Type 2 points, but Type 2 cars can only charge from Type 2 points. That’s why I am committed to standardising the charging ports on Electric Cars so that all must come fitted with CCS charging by standard. I will also explore options to encourage manufacturers to offer retrofitting for cars that come with Type 2 or other ports such as Type 1 or CHAdeMO that are incompatible with CCS chargers. And the charging points that we’ll install will be a mix of CCS and Type 2 chargers too, to ensure that everyone can enjoy the benefits of electric cars.

“Significant parts of Derbyshire and Northamptonshire are rural, and it is essential that we offer a public transport system that is the first choice when travelling for much of the population. To this end, Labour will reopen rural railway lines that were previously closed, and will enhance the provision of bus services by keeping them in control of local authorities but reintroducing Passenger Transport Executives in urban areas where the local community will benefit. I would like to see a Passenger Transport Executive for Nottingham, Derby and the surrounding areas — two cities that are close to each other and could benefit greatly from a joined up transport strategy.

“Whether or not a Nottingham and Derby Transport Executive can be formed, Labour will make our buses green. We’ll add diesel buses to the car ban in 2030, and we’ll provide funding for local authorities to replace their existing fleet of diesel buses with alternative options. This will be enabled by the investment into our charging network.”

“We can have a world where we don’t have to worry about how we get from A to B. Where we don’t have to breathe in dirty fumes from cars. A vote for me and for Labour at this election is a vote for a bright path forward. Thank you.”
