answer text <p>So far in 2019, sales of battery electric vehicles have increased significantly, up by 60% over the same period in 2018. Our Road to Zero Strategy sets out a clear pathway to zero emissions, to give clarity and certainty to both industry and motorists. In 2018 the UK was the second largest market for ultra-low emission vehicles in the EU. The UK is also global leader in the development and manufacture of electric vehicles; in 2018 a fifth of battery electric cars sold in Europe were made in the UK.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Government grants for plug-in cars, vans, taxis and motorcycles will be available until at least 2020, reducing the upfront purchase price of electric vehicles. The plug-in car grant was first introduced in 2011 and the other schemes in the years since. Purchasers of ultra-low-emission vehicles also receive other benefits, including lower tax rates and grants towards the installation of charge-points. A number of local authorities also provide additional incentives, such as free parking or exemption from the congestion charge. We stated in our Road to Zero strategy that consumer incentives in some form will continue to play a role beyond 2020. We also set out ambitions for the uptake of ultra-low-emission vehicles in the UK. We remain on track to meet these ambitions and will review progress by 2025.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, as announced this week, to accelerate the shift to zero-emission cars, all zero-emission models will pay no company car tax in 2020-21, 1% in 2021-22 before returning to the planned 2% rate in 2022-23 – a significant tax saving for employees and employers.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The Government is not currently considering a national scrappage scheme in light of concerns over deliverability and value for money. However we have not restricted the types of measures eligible local authorities could bid for funding for from the Clean Air Fund which supports local authorities with nitrogen dioxide exceedances. The Government will continue to assess bids that relate to scrappage and where these are approved support the local authorities in delivery of these schemes.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Road to Zero sets out the Government’s long-term ambitions to clean up road transport, and the measures now in place to help industry and consumers to make the transition to electric vehicles. It was developed following extensive consultation with environmental groups, the automotive industry and academia.</p><p> </p><p>The Government believes its ambition for at least half of new cars and as many as 70% to be ultra low emission by 2030 strikes the right balance between conflicting environmental, industrial and consumer priorities. However, the Government is actively tracking market developments and will review progress towards our ambitions by 2025.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Road to Zero strategy sets out the actions being taken to reduce emissions in order to improve air quality. It includes details of the Real Driving Emissions legislation applying from September 2017, which limits vehicle emissions of both nitrogen oxides and particulates across a wide range of driving conditions. A further tightening of the Real Driving Emission legislation for nitrogen oxides from new cars will take effect from 1 January 2020.</p> more like this
