Motor Vehicles: Fuels

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, on what scientific basis he proposes to exclude vehicles that use energy sources other than electric battery power in his Department's strategy to reduce carbon emissions.

Answer

The decarbonisation of road transport is critical in helping the UK to meet its greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets and improving air quality. The Government takes a technology neutral approach, with the aim for all new vehicles to be zero emission in line with our phase out dates, without stipulating any particular energy source.
