Electric Vehicles: Large Goods Vehicles
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the effectiveness of increasing the permitted weight of electric HGVs on the construction sector.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The Department keeps vehicle regulations, including maximum permitted weight limits, under review, to determine whether they remain appropriate during the transition towards zero emission HGVs. No assessment which focuses exclusively on vehicles used in the construction sector is planned.
