Department for Transport<p>Highways England have been undertaking extensive research into potential air quality solutions for the strategic road network that could reduce levels of NO2. They have explored a wide range of ideas including the effectiveness of different traffic management options, understanding obstacles to greater use of electric vans on the network and different types of barrier design.</p><p> </p><p>Based on all their research, they have robust evidence that a 9.5 metre high barrier can help reduce levels of nitrogen dioxide behind the barrier and have developed a programme to identify potential sites around the network.</p>Hereford and South HerefordshireJesse Norman2018-11-19false2018-11-19T11:01:02.707Z27TransportTransport2018-11-09Motor Vehicles: Exhaust Emissions1House of CommonsTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress Highways England is making on reducing levels of NO2 on the strategic road network.falseBury NorthJames Frith189797Department for Transport<p>The Department for Transport published the outputs of the Transport Energy Model in July 2018 alongside the Road to Zero strategy.</p><p> </p><p>The model estimates the average tailpipe emissions of air pollutants, the greenhouse gas emissions and the energy consumption of a range of fuel, powertrain and Euro class options, which includes Euro 6 diesel and petrol engines for cars, vans, buses and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs).</p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>More information on the development and outputs of the model is available here: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/739462/transport-energy-model.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/739462/transport-energy-model.pdf</a>.</em></p>Hereford and South HerefordshireJesse Norman2018-11-19false2018-11-19T13:00:02.12Z27TransportTransport2018-11-09Motor Vehicles: Exhaust Emissions1House of CommonsTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment his Department has made of the difference in emissions from Euro 6 diesel engines and petrol engines.falseWarleyJohn Spellar189553Department for Transport<p>The Department for Transport published the outputs of the Transport Energy Model in July 2018 alongside the Road to Zero strategy.</p><p> </p><p>The model estimates the average tailpipe emissions of air pollutants, the greenhouse gas emissions and the energy consumption of a range of fuel and powertrain options for cars, vans, buses and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) over the period to 2050.</p><p> </p><p><em>More information on the development and outputs of the model is available here: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/739462/transport-energy-model.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/739462/transport-energy-model.pdf</a>.</em></p><p> </p><p> </p>Hereford and South HerefordshireJesse Norman2018-11-19false2018-11-19T12:49:24.233Z27TransportTransport2018-11-09Motor Vehicles: Exhaust Emissions1House of CommonsTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent estimate he has made of the comparative output of CO2 per mile of diesel and petrol cars.falseWarleyJohn Spellar18955010013
