Large Goods Vehicles: Electric Vehicles
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential impact of a Zero Emission Vehicle mandate for heavy goods vehicles on small and medium-sized freight operators.
Answered by Keir Mather
Government's consultation on a New Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) CO₂ Emissions Regulatory Framework for the United Kingdom closed on 17 March and explores the potential design of different regulatory frameworks.
When designing the future framework for HGV carbon regulations, we will fully consider the impacts of any regulatory proposals on operators, businesses and the UK economy. A full impact assessment will accompany any final proposal for regulation.
