The Government intends to publish the final strategy by the end of this year. At a local level, the Government and Local Authorities are working to comply with our legal targets for roadside nitrogen dioxide through the UK Plan for Tackling Roadside Nitrogen Dioxide Concentrations, supported by a £3.5 billion investment into air quality and cleaner transport.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/11/2018 14:05:31 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2018 answer text <p>We have not made an estimate for 2028. However, the Government’s Clean Growth Strategy, published in October, set out that one possible pathway to 2032 could involve emissions from transport falling by almost 30 per cent compared to today. In order to achieve this pathway at least 30 per cent of new car sales are expected to be ultra low emission vehicles by 2030, and possibly as many as 70 per cent. For new vans, up to 40 per cent of sales could be ultra low emission vehicles by 2030.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 16/03/2018 12:41:48 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>We have regular discussions with all the key parties in the electricity systems – including energy suppliers, network operators and National Grid – to ensure that they are prepared for electric vehicle take up. We are also taking powers as part of the Automated and Electric Vehicles Bill, announced in the Queen’s speech, which will mean all chargepoints sold or installed in the UK will be ‘Smart’ enabled. Smart charging has the potential to reduce the demands from electric vehicles by ensuring their charging can flex to meet grid needs. Through their ‘Future Energy Scenarios’ work published on 13 July 2017, National Grid project that with smart charging the additional peak demand caused by electric vehicles in GB could be reduced to 6GW in 2050. Northern Ireland Electricity Networks is responsible for the transmission and distribution of electricity in Northern Ireland, and energy policy in Northern Ireland is devolved.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 20/07/2017 12:36:49 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
