answer text <p>This government is aiming is for almost every car and van to be a zero emission vehicle by 2050, and we pledged in our manifesto to invest £500 million over the next five years to achieve this objective. We will target this funding to support the purchase of ultra low emission cars, vans, taxis, buses, and other vehicles; supporting recharging infrastructure and gas and hydrogen refuelling stations; and substantial support for research and development into supporting technologies.</p><p> </p> more like this

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
