In 2010/11 Government, through the Office of Low Emission Vehicles, spent £7.3m and in 2018/19 is forecast to spend approximately £200m. This is part of Government\u2019s programme of investment, alongside other measures set out in the Road to Zero strategy, to put the UK at the forefront of the transition to zero emission vehicles.<\/p>
<\/p>
In 2018, the UK was the second largest market for ultra low emission vehicles in the EU accounting for nearly 20% of registrations, and 1 in 5 electric cars sold in Europe last year was made in the UK.<\/p>"}

The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs attended the Clean Air Summit on 14 February with the Mayor of London, Metro Mayors and city leaders from across the country. A range of issues were discussed at the Summit including the ambitious goals set out in our new Clean Air Strategy, the need to focus on reducing emissions from a variety of sources, and support for local authorities with powers and funding.<\/p>
<\/p>
My officials have regular and ongoing engagement with those local authorities named in the 2017 Plan for Tackling Roadside Nitrogen Dioxide Concentrations, to support them in considering measures to address nitrogen dioxide exceedances in their areas. Due to the highly localised nature of the problem, local knowledge is crucial in solving pollution problems in these hotspots. Local authorities are considering a range of measures to tackle their nitrogen dioxide exceedances, including, where appropriate, charging Clean Air Zones.<\/p>
<\/p>
I met the Mayor for the West Midlands, Andy Street, earlier this month and discussed the progress of local authorities in the West Midlands who are developing local air quality plans. I have also spoken with the Mayor of Bristol, Marvin Rees, this month about the development of Bristol\u2019s local air quality plan.<\/p>

The Road to Zero sets out the Government\u2019s 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>
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>"}

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>"}
