Motor Vehicles: Exhaust Emissions

Asked by Luke AkehurstLabourDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 11 February 2025UIN 29783

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on how their Departments' procurement policies can support UK vehicle manufacturers to meet the zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The Government Fleet Commitment states that 100% of the central government car and van fleet will be fully zero emission by 2027. This represents a major opportunity for UK-based manufacturers, and the Department is working with them to ensure they can take advantage.
