THE UK Government claims to have created the most ambitious regulatory framework for the switch to electric vehicles of any country in the world, thanks to new laws which commenced 3 January 2024. Following consultation with industry and manufacturers, the mandate provides them with the certainty they have called for to safeguard skilled British jobs.
The zero emission vehicle mandate (ZEV) sets out the percentage of new zero emission vans and cars manufacturers will be required to produce each year up to 2030. 80% of new cars and 70% of new vans sold in Great Britain will now be zero emission by 2030, increasing to 100% by 2035.
