Direct Lobbying Transparency
| Overall Assessment | Comment | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Limited | Zhuzhou CRRC Times Electric discloses only a limited picture of its climate-policy lobbying. Through the Railway Industry Association it indicates it is engaging the UK Government on rail-decarbonisation, naming the broad policy area of hydrogen technology and electrification but not citing any specific bill, regulation, or consultation paper. The company provides some insight into how it seeks to influence policy, mentioning indirect tactics such as publishing a briefing and running the “Rail Decarbonisation 21” campaign, yet it does not describe direct interactions or identify the particular ministries, officials, or parliamentary processes it targets. It is most explicit about the outcomes it wants, urging the Government to “commit to a train fleet order of hydrogen trains” in order to “kick-start the decarbonisation of the UK rail network” and secure jobs and export opportunities. Overall, while the desired policy changes are clearly stated, the scant detail on the precise policies involved and on who is lobbied and by what methods leaves the company’s lobbying transparency relatively limited. | 1 |
