Voice of the Industry

Now in its fourth year, the BVRLA report continues to assess progress across the key areas of zero emission vehicle demand, infrastructure and supply for cars, vans and HGVs. It recognises the diversity of the UK fleet sector and that the journey is proving more challenging for some segments than others. This year sees the addition of key performance indicators (KPIs) to start to create objective metrics around the UK’s progress on the Road to Zero.

The association has published its sustainability credentials for 2022, showing BEV uptake and Clean Air Zone compliance across different fleet segments. The credentials are continually improving and show how the fleet sector is leading the way in the electrification of the total UK car parc.

The 2021 edition of the BVRLA's annual Road to Zero Report Card not only assesses progress towards zero emission fleets in terms of EV supply, EV demand and charging infrastructure, but also for the first time compares progress for cars, vans and trucks.

The BVRLA Fleet Sustainability Credentials show that the rental and leasing sectors are already leading the transition to cleaner transport. 100% of rented, leased and car club cars are Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) compliant and 99% of rented vans (96% of leased vans) are as well.

Christina Calderato, Head of Transport Strategy and Planning at Transport for London writes to inform members of the where, when, and why of the ULEZ expansion from this October.
