Department for Transport: Electric Vehicles
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her department encourages officials to rent electric vehicles when hiring vehicles for official business.
Answered by Keir Mather
The Government’s policy is that all official travel must be efficient and cost-effective. The Department does encourage the use of electric vehicles for vehicle hire. However, short-term vehicle hires can happen at short notice and are subject to vehicle availability at the time and the policies of the hire company.
