Response to new HGV CO2 emissions regulatory framework for the UK

Aldersgate Group prepared a response to the Department for Transport’s consultation “New HGV CO2 emissions regulatory framework for the UK”, which considers the most appropriate future regulatory framework to support the transition to zero emission heavy goods vehicles (HGVs).

We would favour a BEV sales mandate, but only with a very carefully set trajectory, and supported by a comprehensive package of incentives and infrastructure planning. This should be accompanied by clarity on the role that alternative fuels are expected to play during the transition, given the pressing need for businesses to deliver short-term emissions reduction targets. See the response for greater detail of our submission.
