The Department for Transport (DfT) has published a Local Authority toolkit – one of its commitments in the Transport Decarbonisation Plan - to provide local authorities with advice on actions they can take to reduce transport carbon emissions. 

The Greater Manchester Air Quality Administration Committee will begin the process of reviewing the evidence and options for a new Clean Air Plan that can improve public health without hurting jobs and businesses when they meet later this week (23 March). 

The BVRLA has welcomed today’s announcement that availability of the Plug in Van Grant has been confirmed for an additional two years, until 2024/5.

The Mayor of London has asked Transport for London (TfL) to consult on expanding the ULEZ in 2023. The move is seeking to build on the existing Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and the tighter Low Emission Zone (LEZ) standards, which have reportedly reduced nitrogen oxide emissions by 30% across London.  

Tickets will soon be available for the BVRLA’s annual Fleets in Charge Conference, which is set to cover all things decarbonisation on Thursday 7 July 2022 in London. Members are encouraged to save the date. 

Government has agreed that the Greater Manchester charging Clean Air Zone (CAZ) will not go ahead on 30 May 2022. 

The BVRLA has launched a new initiative to help local authorities as they try to meet the diverse charging needs of electric fleets. With the roll-out of charging infrastructure increasingly being devolved to local government, the association’s new ‘Fleet Charging Guide’ highlights some key fleet use cases and how they can best be supported on their zero-emission journey.

The Department for Transport has announced changes to legislation aimed at making heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly by permitting operators to use aerodynamic features and elongated cabs. 

The Department for Transport has launched its Mobility as a Service (MaaS) code of practice consultation, which will be open for responses from 8 February 2022 to 3 May 2022. 

The Government has agreed that Greater Manchester can delay the implementation of its Clean Air Zone (CAZ) but needs to submit plans on how it aims to do this by July. This is due to issues with vehicle supply and the costs of obtaining compliant vehicles. 

Oxford’s Zero Emission Zone (ZEZ) pilot scheme will go live on 28 February 2022, but members need to be aware that they cannot make payment via the government’s centralised Clean Air Zone payment portal.
