Government launches WLTP consultation

HM Treasury has published a consultation seeking the views of stakeholders on a number of issues relating to the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP).

Questions within the consultation include:

  • What evidence can you provide on the differences between NEDC and WLTP figures for similar models of cars?
  • What further evidence can you provide on the impact of WLTP on reported CO2 emissions and zero emission mileage for ULEVs?
  • How should the government balance the factors outlined when considering whether to introduce changes to VED and company car tax on introduction of WLTP?
  • Do you agree that, if the government makes changes to the vehicle tax system, the adjustment should be simple? If not, why?

 

The BVRLA will formally respond to the consultation and members are invited to share their views with BVRLA Senior Policy Advisor, Jinmi Macaulay.

The consultation, which closes on 17 February 2019, can be read in full here on the gov.uk website.
