	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2020 answer text <p>The Government has no current plans to introduce a scrappage scheme to support the transition to zero emission and electric vehicles. We are investing around £2.5bn‎ with grants available for ultra-low emission vehicles, as well as funding to support charge point infrastructure at homes, workplaces, on residential streets and across the wider roads network. We are consulting on bringing forward the end to the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans from 2040 to 2035, or earlier if a faster transition appears feasible, as well as including hybrids for the first time. By talking to stakeholders about the best way to achieve that ambition, we will more easily be able to identify what measures would be needed to support the transition.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 09/06/2020 11:33:20 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the ability of car manufacturers to (a) produce and (b) import the required number of vehicles to satisfy consumer demand and meet the Government’s 2030 phase out date for petrol and diesel vehicles.

	uin	159369
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2021 answer text <p>Consumer demand for zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) is growing. In 2019 the UK was the third largest market for ultra-low emission vehicles in Europe and last year 1 in 10 cars that were sold came with a plug. There is a global momentum towards ZEVs and the automotive industry is investing billions into new technology over the next 5 to 10 years. A number of vehicle manufacturers have made ambitious commitments to electrify their vehicle production which will result in greater consumer choice of ZEVs across a number of price points over the next decade. The UK is already well placed at the forefront of this with our ambitious phase out dates and a strong package of supporting measures in place. The Government is working closely with vehicle manufacturers to further develop the UK’s supply chain for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). We are investing nearly £500 million of funding for the Automotive Transformation Fund, as part of a wider commitment of up to £1 billion to develop UK supply chains for the large-scale production of BEVs and to support further R&amp;D in the UK. This will protect existing jobs and support thousands more high-quality jobs across the UK. We are working both in the UK and overseas on the opportunity of attracting foreign direct investment in to the UK BEV supply chain.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 03/03/2021 14:45:29 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2021 answer text <p>The Department gathered evidence on the potential benefits of micromobility vehicles in the Future of Transport Regulatory Review Call for Evidence in March 2020. These benefits are also being evaluated as part of our evidence gathering through ongoing national trials of e-scooters.</p><p>Early evidence may show that the use of micromobility vehicles such as e-scooters has the potential to ease and improve congestion, mainly as they are smaller than other road-going vehicles. Fewer parking spaces are also needed, allowing parking space to be reallocated.</p><p>Micromobility vehicles that use rechargeable electric batteries also offer a greener way to travel than taking a diesel or petrol fueled car which, depending on mode shift, could help reduce emissions and improve air quality in towns and cities.</p><p>With regard to helping the consumer select the right vehicle for the right journey, micromobility vehicles give consumers more options when it comes to vehicle type. They may also make public transport accessible to more people who would otherwise have to walk too far to local stations for example.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 21/10/2021 12:23:19 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2017 answer text <p>The Government wants almost every car and van in the UK to be a zero emission vehicle by 2050. In 2013 the Government’s strategy for ultra low emission vehicles (ULEVs) set out an expectation that ULEVs – which include hydrogen fuel cell, plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles – could make up 3-7% of new car sales in 2020. Currently, there are over 85,000 electric vehicles that have benefited from the plug-in grant funding schemes. Uptake in this new market is difficult to predict, and depends largely on the speed with which car manufacturers make new models available. Latest data indicates that ULEV car uptake remains on track for the growth projections set out in 2013.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 09/02/2017 13:25:37 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes
