<p>The Government has invested over £84 million in retrofitting vehicles with pollution
reducing technology since 2013, most of which have been buses for public transport.
The continued development, promotion and implementation of innovative retrofit technology
will be an important element of reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides and will help
bridge the gap in the journey towards zero emissions by 2050.</p><p> </p><p>In February,
the Government awarded £1 million of grants to three technology providers to support
the accreditation testing of vehicle retrofit technologies, looking particularly to
support bringing retrofit solutions for different vehicle types onto the market. These
will mainly focus on HGVs and coaches. At the moment there is no practical retrofit
solution for passenger cars and with their lower value and limited physical space,
finding a cost effective solution will prove a challenge.</p><p> </p>
