Answered by Lilian Greenwood
DVLA transport statistics show a steady decline in the number of vehicles licensed on UK roads that run on LPG. At their peak in 2010 there were approximately 50,000 vehicles compared to 27,000 at the end of 2023. As the transition to zero exhaust emission vehicles continues, demand for the fuel is expected to continue to reduce. Decisions about whether and where to supply fuels, including LPG, are commercial decisions for suppliers and operators.
