The UK government’s objective is to decarbonise the new car fleet by 2040 and for almost all cars and vans on UK roads to be zero emission by 2050. The adoption of ultra-low emission vehicles is key to this decarbonisation plan. However, the plug-in vehicle market is still a niche area where technology and customer acceptance are continuing to develop. The market offers both battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, but model choice, availability, price and range are still perceived by many to be inferior to internal combustion engine vehicles. Therefore, to encourage increased uptake, the UK government offers financial incentives towards both vehicles and charging equipment. This presentation summarised the charging requirements of today’s plug-in vehicles and outlined the funding currently available for vehicles and charging equipment. Local authorities, developers, planning managers, environmental, town centre managers and contractors would be interested in this talk. by Josey Wardle, Zero Carbon Futures (ZCF)

2. Air Pollution – Greenhouse Gas emissions
• Public health risk 40,000 premature deaths per year
• Associated costs €83 billion
Transport’s role
• Largest UK GHG emissions
• Lowest GHG reduction progress < 2%
What’s the problem ?

3. Scale – UK road transport
39.36 Million vehicles on UK roads 2018 1.2%
10.5%
0.4%
1.33%
82.5%
327.1 Billion miles travelled on UK roads 2017 1.3%

4. Definition
• any motor vehicle emitting extremely low levels of emissions, currently
< 75gCO2/km driven
• EV & PHEV
Benefits
• lower/zero tailpipe emissions – depending on vehicle type
• Lower maintenance requirements, less noise, smoother driving style
• More than just a transport solution !
Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (ULEV)

5. • Vision - By 2040 every new car & van sold should be ULEV
• Strategy - “Road to Zero”
• Legislation – “Automated and Electric Vehicles Act” (July 2018)
• Recharging infrastructure required to make ULEV feasible
• Increased consumer awareness required
• Low Emission Zones
UK Government Policies

6. New Car sales by 2021
• Fleet Average Emission Requirement = 95 gCO2/km
• UK average 2018 = 124.9 gCO2/km
New Van sales by 2021
• Fleet Average Emission Requirement = 147 gCO2/km
After 2021?
• By 2025 = +15% reduction By 2030 = +37.5% cars / 31% vans reduction
Emissions reduction progress

7. ULEV progress
UK Ultra Low Emission Vehicle Targets (CCC)
New car sales: Total ULEV:
• By 2020 = 9% (approx. 0.25 million) 680,000
• By 2030 = 60% (approx. 1.6 million) 4.6 Million
Progress by 2018
• ULEV registered by 2018 = 200,295
• 0.5% of all registered vehicles
185,853
