Logistics UK updates pest controllers on 2030 phase out deadline for new petrol and diesel vehicles

TRAVEL

Logistics UK has received the below information about government thoughts on restoring the phase-out dates for the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles to 2030 from contacts at the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV).

"As set out in our manifesto, we are committed to phasing out new cars that rely solely on internal combustion engines by 2030. We want to provide certainty and ensure consumers can benefit from more efficient vehicles, as we take action to clean up our transport system.

"The Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate already requires 80% of all new cars to be ZEV by 2030.

"There will be no sales of new pure combustion engine cars from 2030 under our plans, and we will set out more details on specific 2030-35 requirements for both cars and vans shortly."

In the Labour Party manifesto, there was a reference to restoring the phase out deadline to 2030 for cars. Vans were not explicitly mentioned.

However, Logistics UK understands that a formal consultation will open in early autumn in order to confirm any regulatory changes about phase out dates by the end of 2024 and vans will be considered.

They believe the consultation will seek to define hybrid vehicle specifications and set out more specific information about the phase out of new internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles between 2030 and 2035.
