PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Cars and Vans: Carbon Emissions (11 January 2022)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether regulations to require all new cars and vans to emit zero emissions by 2035 will recognise hydrogen internal combustion engines as a compliant zero-emission technology.

Asked by:
Judith Cummins (Labour)

Removing tailpipe emissions from road vehicles is fundamental to decarbonising transport. Regulations that ensure that from 2035 all new cars and vans are fully zero emission at the tailpipe will remain technology neutral. The Government’s response to our recent consultation on the regulatory options for the design of those regulations will be published in due course.
