ZEV Mandate Policy Design
It is our view that the ZEV mandate should be more ambitious than that which is proposed in the consultation and more flexible so as to provide a clear and consistent policy signal to the market.
EXCERPT
New AutoMotive welcomes the government’s intention to introduce a ZEV mandate in the UK, and the opportunity to respond to this consultation. Government policy has played a crucial role in driving up sales of electric cars and vans in the UK. As the UK enters into tougher carbon budgets and the transition to zero emission cars and vans enters its next phase, the role of public policy in driving progress will be no less crucial.
The ZEV mandate will be the key policy driver that will realise the government’s commitment to achieving net zero and ending sales of petrol and diesel cars in the 2030s. An ambitious and effective mandate will attract investment in domestic manufacturing, reduce UK emissions in line with carbon budget requirements, reduce the UK’s reliance on imported fuels and help reduce the cost of motoring for people who are most dependent on their cars.
