London mayor introduces Ultra Low Emission Zone

By John Wood

Published: 10 April, 2019

The world’s first Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) has launched in London, meaning cars that do not meet emission standards will have to pay £12.50 a day to enter.

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said the introduction of the ULEZ will reduce road transport NOx emissions by around 45% in central London. Other complementary measures include cleaning up Transport for London’s buses, no longer licensing diesel taxis, and expanding the ULEZ to inner London in 2021.

Khan said: “London has always been a progressive and forward-thinking city, and a hub for innovation and climate action. Now more than ever, we must uphold this reputation and lead from the front on environmental issues

MPs slam Government delays over E10 introduction

By John Wood

Published: 01 August, 2018

A cross-party group of MPs has slammed the Government for delaying the introduction of E10 petrol.

The criticism followed the Department for Transport's decision to launch a consultation on whether E10 should be introduced.
Nic Dakin, Labour MP for Scunthorpe and chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for British Bioethanol, commented: “As usual the Government is failing to take the initiative and lead the way on tackling climate change and air pollution, choosing instead to delay vital decisions and thereby putting thousands of jobs in my region at risk.
“E10 is a quick and easy way to tackle the most pressing environmental problems from transport, which is the largest single contributor of greenhouse gas emissions. While the Department for Transport have set out E10’s benefits, they’ve failed to provide a realistic workable solution for its introduction.
“Numerous consultations, select committees and working groups have already recommended E10, we gain nothing by going through the motions of yet another call for evidence, but we stand to potentially lose a major industry and employer in the North East.”

Bill unveiled to force forecourts to offer electric charging

By John Wood

Published: 20 October, 2017

Motorway services and large petrol retailers will be forced to install charge points and hydrogen refuelling points for electric cars, under plans confirmed in the House of Commons by transport minister John Hayes.

The Automated and Electric Vehicles Bill will give the government powers to make it compulsory for “public charging points” (charging for battery driven electric cars or hydrogen refuelling points for fuel cell electric vehicles) to be installed at “large fuel retailers” and service stations.

However, the definition of large retailers is not given in the Bill. It states: “large fuel retailer” and “service area operator” have the meaning given by regulations.

Hayes said: “We want the UK to be the best place in the world to do business and a leading hub for modern transport technology, which is why we are introducing the Automated and Electric Vehicles Bill in Parliament and investing more than £1.2 billion in the industry.

“This bill will aid the construction of greater infrastructure to support the growing demand for automated and electric vehicles as we embrace this technology and move into the future.”

The Bill will also require that drivers of electric vehicles will be able to easily locate and charge at any chargepoint, using information from sat navs or mobile apps, regardless of the vehicle make or model. All chargepoints will have to be ‘smart’, meaning they can interact with the grid in order to manage demand for electricity across the country.
