answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2016 answer text <p>The UK’s main air quality concerns relate to ambient concentrations of nitrogen dioxide, in particular close to busy roads, with diesel vehicles being the major source. Electric vehicles have zero exhaust emissions and offer a clear benefit in tackling this ongoing air quality challenge.</p><p> </p><p>On pollution from particulate matter, evidence is limited. Recent research suggests that battery electric vehicles have similar total emissions of particulate matter to petrol and diesel vehicles, due to their higher mass causing increased non-exhaust particulate matter. The UK Automotive Council has identified vehicle lightweighting as a strategic technology priority, and recent Government research and development funding of £38 million will support a number of projects in this area.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 12/05/2016 10:46:48 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
