Following the announcement of the UK adopting a zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate in the Net Zero Strategy in October 2021, we are now seeking views on some of the design features that could be included in a car and van regulation.

We are specifically consulting on:

  • the level of ZEV uptake (trajectories)
  • how certificates could be allocated and used
  • the banking, borrowing and transfer of ZEV certificates
  • the possibility of derogations and exemptions within the ZEV mandate
  • how to regulate the non-ZEV portion of the fleet

This technical consultation is additional to an outcome of the green paper on a new road vehicle CO2 emissions regulatory framework for the United Kingdom.
