answer text <p>Vehicle categorisation is very important to enable effective regulation and enable investment planning by industry. The current, temporary, type-approval scheme for these L-category vehicles ends on 31<sup>st</sup> December 2027 and the Government expects to have a full GB approval scheme in place before then. We will consult stakeholders as part of this process and consider any evidence on the potential for additional categories.</p> more like this

As previously stated in the answer to Question 369, the Government will consult on any future regulatory framework to deliver and enforce the end of sale dates for new non-zero emission L-category vehicles as is appropriate.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The consultation on when to end the sale of new non-zero emission L-category vehicles (including mopeds and motorcycles) was open to responses from 14 July to 21 September 2022 and supported by a thorough programme of stakeholder engagement with stakeholders. The Department is now in the process of analysing the responses and will bring forward the Government’s response in due course.</p><p>The Government will consult on any future regulatory framework to deliver and enforce the end of sale dates for new non-zero emission L-category vehicles as is appropriate. The Government keeps all its regulations under review to ensure that they are fit for purpose and futureproofed.</p><p>The UK’s exit from the European Union has provided the opportunity for this country to develop its own regulatory approach to decarbonising its entire fleet of new road vehicles, which will help to support UK industry in the process. The proposed end of sales dates for motorcycles positions the UK as a world leader in decarbonisation, will drive innovation and create a market for zero emission L-category vehicles.</p><p>The Government considers the greenhouse gas emissions of all sectors to ensure that it meet the UK’s legally binding net zero targets by 2050. The Government’s net zero commitment requires all sectors of the UK’s economy, including motorcycles, to deliver substantial cuts to emissions to end the UK’s contribution to climate change.</p>
