	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2018 answer text <p>By setting long term ambitions for 2040 and 2050, the Government has sent a clear signal for the UK’s direction of travel to provide industry and consumers with certainty on the transition to zero emission vehicles. The Government’s Road to Zero strategy, published in July, set out that by 2030 we want to see at least 50% and as many as 70% of new car sales being ultra low emission, alongside up to 40% of new vans. We expect this transition to be industry and consumer led, supported in the coming years by the measures set out in the Road to Zero strategy.</p><p> </p><p>There is significant uncertainty over some of the key drivers of the transition – including battery technology and new mobility services. The Government will be actively tracking market developments, looking at key factors such as uptake of Ultra Low Emission Vehicles, deployment of infrastructure, and consumer issues. We will review momentum towards our ambition by 2025, and will consider what interventions are needed if not enough progress is being made.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 16/11/2018 13:30:32 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Sugg on 20 September (HL10301), whether they have considered implementing a target for NOX emissions to be reduced to 4 per cent by 2025; and if so, how much of this improvement is dependent on (1) vehicle design, and (2) policies to reduce traffic congestion.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2018 answer text <p>There is no target to reduce NOX emissions by 4 per cent by 2025. However, all local authorities with levels of NO2 exceedance must achieve legal compliance in the shortest possible time. Measures that could be implemented to achieve this might include reducing NOX emissions from buses by retrofitting them to a minimum Euro VI standard, purchasing low and ultra-low emission buses, implementing bus priority measures and encouraging mode shift to public transport to help reduce traffic congestion.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 24/10/2018 13:16:41 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

This covers all rules that set the requirements for placing a product on the market, including environmental requirements, as are necessary to provide for frictionless trade at the border. This would include the type approval system for all categories of motor vehicles and would ensure that the UK and the EU adhere to the same emission standards for cars, vans and heavy duty vehicles.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 25/07/2018 12:40:16 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
