A factsheet has been developed to help deal with some of the confusion that exists over what is changing with the emission testing of plug-in hybrid vehicles. Created by the BVRLA with support from the Department for Transport, the factsheet clarifies the impact on GB registered vehicles.

Early Bird tickets, saving £100, are available for the BVRLA’s Fleets in Charge Conference 2025, which will take place on Wednesday 2 July at the QEII Centre in London.

Several Government consultations are underway, with the BVRLA seeking member input to ensure that responses are fully representative of member views and outline the potential impacts on the sector. Three key consultations relating to decarbonisation are detailed below.

The popularity of company-provided electric vehicles saw the BVRLA’s leasing fleet grow 1.4% in the last 12 months, offsetting lower demand for vehicles on personal lease agreements and vans. The association’s latest Leasing Outlook report shows that salary sacrifice continues to drive growth in the sector, it is up 51% and sustaining the UK’s transition to cleaner, greener models. 

The BVRLA would like to help clarify which vehicles are subject to the Expensive Car Supplement once the exemption for zero-emission vehicles is lifted after 1 April.

The latest new car registration figures show that the market grew 2.6% year on year in 2024, with electric vehicles achieving their highest ever annual share. December 2024 alone saw electric cars account for a record 31% of the market, although the full-year share closed at 19.6%, below the 22% set out by the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate

Making it easier and cheaper for operators to use zero emission vans is the focus of a new consultation launched by the Department for Transport. Open until 3 March, the consultation is specifically seeking industry views on roadworthiness testing and drivers’ hours rules.

The long-awaited consultation into the terms and application of the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate has now been confirmed. It welcomes input from all stakeholders and the BVRLA will be actively involved in the process to represent members.
