<p>Our 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 Road to Zero Strategy sets out a clear pathway to zero emissions, to
give clarity and certainty to both industry and motorists. By 2030 we want at least
half of new cars sold, and as many as 70%, to be ultra low emission, alongside up
to 40% of new vans. To achieve this, we are investing nearly £1.5bn between April
2015 and March 2021, with grants available for plug in cars, vans, lorries, buses,
taxis and motorcycles, and schemes to support charge point infrastructure at homes
and workplaces and on residential streets.</p><p> </p><p>In July 2017, Defra published
the UK Plan for Tackling Roadside Nitrogen Dioxide Concentrations (NO2), setting out
how we will achieve compliance in the shortest possible time, supported by a £3.5
billion investment into air quality and cleaner transport.</p><p> </p><p>Any assessment
made on the effect of the introduction of E10 on the level of air pollution is a matter
for the Department for Transport.</p>
