New HGV CO2 emissions regulatory framework for the UK

This consultation considers regulatory options to:

• reduce emissions from new heavy goods vehicles (HGVs)
• support phasing out the sale of new non-zero emission heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) weighing up to and including 26 tonnes by 2035
• phase out the sale of all new non-zero emission HGVs by 2040

The consultation seeks stakeholder views on the regulatory options and broad regulatory design of a future framework to reduce HGV emissions as well as some more detailed technical issues:  

• Part A provides a background on the current HGV market in the UK
• Part B considers potential regulatory options
• Part C considers scope and eligibility criteria for ‘zero emission’
• Part D seeks views options on the categorisation of vehicles, flexibilities, and penalties
• Part E seeks input on CO2 emissions reduction trajectories for a future regulatory framework
