This consultation seeks views on delivering the commitment to end the sale of new cars powered solely by internal combustion engines by 2030 and supporting the UKs transition to zero emissions vehicles. The consultation is split into 2 parts.

Part 1 is about phasing out sales of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 and supporting zero emission transition. It is conducted solely by the UK government and seeks views on:

  • options to end the sale of new cars with internal combustion engines from 2030
  • potential requirements for new non-zero emission vans to be sold from 2030 to 2035
  • consideration of approach for small volume manufacturers
  • demand measures to support the uptake of zero emission vehicles

The second part of this consultation is about the the ZEV Mandate, delivered through the vehicle emissions trading schemes (VETs).

It is conducted by the UK government, Scottish Government, Welsh Government and the Department for Infrastructure (NI) and seeks views on:

  • the existing flexibilities within the ZEV mandate, and consideration of further flexibilities
  • other technical updates to the ZEV mandate to ensure its efficiency

Evidence from part 2 of the consultation will inform potential future amendments to the ZEVMandate and CO2emissions regulation.

The analytical annex sets out the analytical approach and tailpipe CO2 analysis results for the proposed VETS amendments and options for delivering the 2030 commitment.
