The BVRLA will continue its work to represent sector interests in Parliament throughout 2026, with a couple of opportunities for members to get involved coming in the weeks ahead.
On Wednesday 4 February 2026, there will be a Van Plan Reception in the House of Commons to mark the two-year anniversary of the Zero Emission Van Plan.
The event will be a celebration of all the Van Plan has achieved to date, including the extension of the plug-in van grant, infrastructure support through the depot charging scheme and regulatory change for 4.25t vans - bringing them in line with their diesel equivalents.
It also presents an opportunity to discuss some of the remaining transition barriers, especially around infrastructure. Members interested in finding out more can contact [email protected].
There are also spaces available for members to attend the Industry and Parliament Trust’s parliamentary training course on Monday 26 January. The course runs from 08:30 to 15:00 in the Houses of Parliament. Delegates will learn how Parliament functions and how to engage with MPs and Peers to voice the needs of the industry. They will also be given a tour of the Houses of Parliament.
Spaces are limited, interested members should email [email protected] and indicate their interest.
