answer text <p>Highways England have been undertaking extensive research into potential air quality solutions for the strategic road network that could reduce levels of NO2. They have explored a wide range of ideas including the effectiveness of different traffic management options, understanding obstacles to greater use of electric vans on the network and different types of barrier design.</p><p> </p><p>Based on all their research, they have robust evidence that a 9.5 metre high barrier can help reduce levels of nitrogen dioxide behind the barrier and have developed a programme to identify potential sites around the network.</p> more like this

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>

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> more like this

answer text <p>The recent White Paper on the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union sets out the UK’s proposal for a UK-EU free trade area, underpinned by a common rulebook on industrial goods. 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> more like this

answer text <p>As my Rt Hon Friend the Secretary of State has previously said, when people are buying new cars they should think carefully about the type of car that suits their needs. For example, someone who is making short journeys, mostly in towns, might find an electric car better suited to their needs than a larger diesel car. It is our mission for all new cars and vans to be effectively zero emission by 2040. Our recently published ‘Road to Zero’ strategy sets out the action Government will take to support this mission, as well as the steps we are taking to drive down emissions from conventional vehicles during the transition.</p><p> </p> more like this
