The minimum proportion rises each year to 80 in 2030 under the Department for Transport’s zero emission vehicle mandate.
More than a fifth of new cars sold by manufacturers in the UK next year must be zero emission, under new rules announced by the Government.
“Our mandate provides certainty for manufacturers, benefits drivers by providing more options, and helps grow the economy by creating skilled jobs. It is understood the Department for Transport will maintain such payments as an option but do not expect they will be needed due to the range of the flexibilities.
“Delivering the mandate will challenge the industry, despite the flexibilities now included to support pragmatic, equitable delivery given this diverse sector.” These include carrying over allowances from previous years, catching up in subsequent years and over-complying with related requirements. Steve Gooding, director of motoring research charity the RAC Foundation, said: “It’s one thing to tell the auto companies the proportion of car sales that must be zero-emission, it’s quite another persuading drivers that they should buy them.
