Hybrid Vehicles: Carbon Emissions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if her Department will review emission standards for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in line with EU ratings.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The current emission standard for cars and vans in Great Britain is known as Euro 6d. Under the Windsor Framework, Northern Ireland applies the EU standard, known as Euro 6e.
The Department for Transport plans to consult soon on a proposal to update the required emission standard for new cars and vans, including plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, in line with Euro 6e.
