Lessons From London On Net Zero

THE RHA is urging politicians and policymakers to learn lessons from the London ULEZ on the journey to net zero.
Commercial vehicle operators driving into the capital have struggled to upgrade to cleaner vehicles to comply with the rules.
Policies like ULEZ did not allow a second-hand market of affordable, compliant vehicles to develop, prompting RHA environment and vehicles lead Chris Ashley to suggest that, “as we look to reduce CO2 emissions, new policies are needed to support people and businesses.
“Just like the people of London, our industry wants to improve the environment we live in. But we’ve found out the hard way that relying on replacing vehicles quickly causes financial problems for many.
“We need to learn these lessons. We must think differently, there are other ways to improve air quality including greater investment in clean engines and incentives like fuel duty rebates.
