<p>At Autumn Budget 2017, Government committed to electrify 25% of central Government
car fleets by 2022. The Government’s Road to Zero Strategy published in 2018, further
committed to electrifying 100% of central Government car fleets by 2030. As at October
2020 there were 1,848 ultra low emission vehicles (ULEVs) across the central Government
car fleet. This means progress towards the target of 100% of central Government car
fleets to be ultra low emission by 2030 for central government is 8%. The Government
does not hold figures for ULEV uptake in wider public sector fleets such as local
authorities and NHS trusts. But we welcome the increasing numbers of commitments in
this space, including Hampshire County Council that has recently approved a policy
that will see electric vehicles become the default choice across the authority, and
Gloucestershire Constabulary that is soon to adopt 75 new electric vehicles into their
fleet.</p>
