Article summary

The Department for Transport (DfT) has published the response to its December 2024 consultation on proposals to support the UK's transition to zero emission vehicles (ZEVs). The response reaffirms the UK government's commitment to ending the sale of new internal combustion engine cars by 2030, with a requirement for all new cars and vans to be fully zero emission by 2035. It also clarifies the technology and emissions reduction standards that will apply post-2030. In addition, the response outlines changes to the Vehicle Emissions Trading Schemes, to be implemented by the UK government and the devolved administrations. These changes aim to provide manufacturers with increased flexibility and new pathways for complying with the ZEV Mandate, subject to future legislative approval.
