answer text <p>We are fully committed to tackling the challenges of air pollution. We have committed £2 billion since 2011 to increase the uptake of ultra-low emission vehicles and green transport initiatives and to support Local Authorities to take action. This has included investment in cycling schemes and low emission buses. We will publish revised air quality plans for nitrogen dioxide (NO<sub>2</sub>) by the end of this year. These will set out actions at all levels, including national and local, to achieve compliance with legal limits for NO<sub>2</sub> in the shortest possible time.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>In July this year, Defra prepared a voting brief for British MEPs concerning the revised National Emission Ceilings Directive. This advised MEPs to oppose an amendment which included the introduction of spot checks on vehicle emissions under real operating conditions, because the aim of the amendment and how it related to existing regimes was unclear. The Government supports the implementation of real driving emissions testing for vehicles but strongly believes that this should be addressed in the appropriate legislation to ensure clarity.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government takes a leading role in EU negotiations on new car and van CO2 regulations which are the major driver of greenhouse gas emissions reductions in cars and vans. The UK fleet is currently ahead of these targets in terms CO2 reduction and emits 22% less CO2 than in 2007. Pollutant emissions (for example particulate matter and oxides of nitrogen (NOx)) are regulated by European (‘Euro’) Emission Standards standards.  These have become increasingly stringent and delivered large reductions for most pollutants.  Government’s focus is now achieving real world reductions of NOx for diesel vehicles as new standards are introduced (Euro 6 for cars and vans, Euro VI for buses and lorries). The Government is committed to making the UK a global leader in the design, manufacture and uptake of ultra low emission vehicles which address both carbon and air quality issues. Uptake of these vehicles has increased fourfold year on year and they are approach 1% of new car sales.</p> more like this
