The Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) has developed databases listing most of the cars and new vans available for sale in the UK.

The car database also provides information on the air quality pollutants and noise levels recorded as part of type-approval process but these only confirm that the car meets the required emissions standard and are not suitable for comparative purposes.<\/p>

The current test has been amended over recent years to introduce lower emission limits. The removal of after treatment devices, such as diesel particulate filters and selective catalytic reduction devices, have been added to the list of reasons why a vehicle would fail its MOT.<\/p>

In May 2018, the opacity limits for diesel vehicles will be tightened for newer diesel vehicles.<\/p>

The Department for Transport undertook real-world emissions testing of Euro 5 and 6 diesel cars and the results were published in the Vehicle Emissions Testing report in April 2016. Further real-world emissions testing of other vehicle types is being undertaken by the Market Surveillance Unit and will be published later this year. Additionally, the government has been at the forefront of calls for the introduction of tougher emissions testing at a European level and the new Real Driving Emissions tests will come into force for all new car models from September this year.<\/p>

Local authorities already have the powers to issue fixed penalty notices of £20 to drivers who allow their vehicle engines to run unnecessarily while the vehicle is stationary, using powers under the Road Traffic (Vehicle Emissions) (Fixed Penalty) (England) Regulations 2002, and are able to use signage to discourage idling. Local authorities can also voluntarily introduce Clean Air Zones should they wish to do so using their powers under the Transport Act 2000. Clean Air Zones can be used to address vehicle idling.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Given these existing powers, Defra has made no assessment of the potential merits of introducing legislative proposals on the use of signage and fines in areas of high pollution to encourage drivers to switch off their engines while stationary.<\/p>

Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (ULEVs) benefit from lower first-year VED rates and lower Company Car Tax rates.<\/p>

Companies are able to access 100% first-year capital allowances when they install electric chargepoints, and employees will continue to have access to salary sacrifice schemes in order to purchase ULEVs.<\/p>

Working through Innovate UK, the Office for Low Emission Vehicles has invested £74m over the last five years in the development of new technologies to significantly reduce carbon emissions from road vehicles. This funding has been at least match-funded by industry, growing the UK automotive sector and accelerating the introduction of ultra low emission technology to the vehicle market.<\/p>
