The last three years of data held on the fleet wide average CO2 emissions of newly registered petrol and diesel cars in the UK shows an increase over time. Excluding zero emission vehicle registrations, the provisional average for new petrol cars only in 2020 was 140.0 grams of CO2 per kilometre, 143.3 grams of CO2 per kilometre in 2021 and 143.0 grams of CO2 per kilometre in 2022. The provisional average for new diesel cars only in 2020 was 153.8 grams of CO2 per kilometre, 161.0 grams of CO2 per kilometre in 2021 and 164.0 grams of CO2 per kilometre in 2022. When considering the overall fleet of new cars, including zero emission, the average CO2 intensity has decreased over the last three years.

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the report Decarbonising Transport: Setting the Challenge, published on 4 March, and the reported relationship between the increase in the purchase of sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and the average CO2 emissions per mile for new cars rising since 2016, what plans they have to discourage the purchase of SUVs.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2020 answer text <p>Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from cars, including SUVs, is a key priority for the Government’s forthcoming Transport Decarbonisation Plan. There are three primary measures to achieve this:</p><p>(i) regulation that requires manufacturers to reduce the average CO<sub>2</sub> emissions of new vehicles registered in the UK;</p><p>(ii) speeding up the transition to zero emission vehicles. The Department is investing around £2.5 billion in grants for plug-in vehicles and funding to support the roll out of improved charge point infrastructure, as well as consulting on bringing forward the end to the sale of new petrol, diesel and hybrid cars and vans from 2040 to 2035, or earlier if a faster transition appears feasible;</p><p>(iii) making public transport and active travel the natural first choice for our daily activities.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 15/05/2020 10:08:22 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
