The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has made an recent assessment of the potential merits of extending the plug-in grant for vans.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The plug-in van grant has been in place since 2012 to help reduce up-front purchase costs, supporting almost 90,000 zero emission vans and heavy goods vehicles across the UK. Plug-in vehicle grants will continue for vans, trucks, motorcycles, taxis and wheelchair accessible vehicles until at least the end of the current financial year.
