- potential requirements for new non-zero emission vans to be sold from 2030 to 2035
- consideration of approach for small volume manufacturers
- demand measures to support the uptake of zero emission vehicles
The second part of this consultation is about the the ZEV Mandate, delivered through the vehicle emissions trading schemes (VETs).
It is conducted by the UK government, Scottish Government, Welsh Government and the Department for Infrastructure (NI) and seeks views on:
- the existing flexibilities within the ZEV mandate, and consideration of further flexibilities
- other technical updates to the ZEV mandate to ensure its efficiency
Evidence from part 2 of the consultation will inform potential future amendments to the ZEV Mandate and CO2 emissions regulation.
