<p>The Government’s mission is to put the UK at the forefront of the design and manufacturing
of zero emission vehicles, and for all new cars and vans to be effectively zero emission
by 2040. The Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) has a range of grant-funded schemes
to assist with the cost of purchasing ultra low and zero emission vehicles and the
installation of charging infrastructure in motorists’ homes, on residential streets,
at work places, car parks and the wider public estate.</p><p>Motorists of zero and
ultra low emission vehicle also benefit from a tax regime that rewards the cleanest
vehicles. The Government is investing nearly £1.5bn between April 2015 and March
2021, with grants available for plug in vehicles and schemes to support chargepoint
infrastructure. The Road to Zero Strategy, published in July last year, sets out a
clear pathway to zero emissions, to give clarity and certainty to both industry and
motorists.</p>
