answer text <p>The Department for Transport undertook real-world emissions testing of Euro 5 and 6 diesel cars and the results were published in the Vehicle Emissions Testing report in April 2016. Further real-world emissions testing of other vehicle types is being undertaken by the Market Surveillance Unit and will be published later this year. Additionally, the government has been at the forefront of calls for the introduction of tougher emissions testing at a European level and the new Real Driving Emissions tests will come into force for all new car models from September this year.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> more like this

answer text <p>Local authorities already have the powers to issue fixed penalty notices of £20 to drivers who allow their vehicle engines to run unnecessarily while the vehicle is stationary, using powers under the Road Traffic (Vehicle Emissions) (Fixed Penalty) (England) Regulations 2002, and are able to use signage to discourage idling. Local authorities can also voluntarily introduce Clean Air Zones should they wish to do so using their powers under the Transport Act 2000. Clean Air Zones can be used to address vehicle idling.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Given these existing powers, Defra has made no assessment of the potential merits of introducing legislative proposals on the use of signage and fines in areas of high pollution to encourage drivers to switch off their engines while stationary.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The government has committed to spend over £600m this parliament to encourage the uptake of ultra low emission vehicles in the UK. Precise annual budgets for the next five years have not been set, but we expect over £100m to be spent during this Parliament, ensuring the UK remains at the forefront of ultra low emission vehicle technology development. To date, every £1 of Office for Low Emission Vehicles funding through Innovate UK’s Low Carbon Vehicle Innovation Platform has been forecast to return £20 to £34 over 15 years.</p> more like this
