UK Government to Introduce Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate from 2024
The Government in the UK has launched a world-leading consultation on its Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate, which sets ambitious targets for the sale of new zero-emission vehicles. The main aim of this mandate is to kickstart more of a competitive electric vehicle market, this comes as a part of a host of announcements around the nation’s road to net Zero and sustainable energy. Under the mandate, manufacturers will be required to sell an increasing proportion of their total UK sales as ZEVs each year to meet the UK’s 2030/2035 phase-out targets. The ZEV mandate will be introduced in the UK in January 2024.
In response to today's news, BVRLA Chief Executive, Gerry Keaney, said:
“The ZEV mandate is a critical tool in the UK meeting its ambitious Net Zero targets. The clarity given today will give fleets and motorists the confidence to continue their decarbonisation journey and accelerate the transition to zero-emission transport.
“We now need supply to keep pace by providing a wider range of vehicles at all price points. The ZEV mandate will help to ensure the right vehicles are coming to the UK, allowing more drivers to make a swift switch to electric.”
The government will be consulting on the details of this scheme until May 2023.
