<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>
