Unlocking the UK’s potential by investing in the capital London is the best city in which to realise OLEV’s ambitions. It has a global reputation for cutting-edge policy implementation and an unparalleled track record of delivering ambitious programmes on time and to budget. London is the UK’s truly global city and therefore the only UK market of sufficient influence to inspire market innovation and ensure the whole of the UK benefits from the economic potential offered by ULEVs. London – “the Go Ultra Low Capital” – would be a powerful tool for OLEV’s marketing campaigns while also offering experience and capacity to manage local, targeted campaigns. PART ONE Why London? Unlocking the UK’s potential by investing in the capital 13 London has the largest market share of ULEV sales anywhere in the UK: in 2013, twelve per cent of all UK hybrid and EV sales were in London. Projections suggest that by 2020 there could be as many as 70,000 privately owned ULEVs sold within the capital and by 2050 London’s light vehicle stock could be almost entirely ultra low emission. KEY Investment in London benefits other Electric/Hybrid Transmissions parts of the UK. The new zero emission and Fuel Cells – from Automative capable taxi has secured £300 million Supply Finder investment and jobs in Coventry, while Continental Engineering Services UK London’s electric single deck buses are manufactured in Leeds.

  • Incentivising Low-Carbon Travel Lessons from a Wide Range of Reward and Platform Schemes
    Incentivising low-carbon travel Lessons from a wide range of reward and platform schemes Rosanna Hine1, Paloma Ortega Arriaga1, Ajay Gambhir1, Lina Fedirko 2, Heleen van Soest3 Final report (June 2020) [Image: Si-Gal] 1 Grantham Institute, Imperial College London, UK 2 ClimateWorks Foundation, USA 3 PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (please note, Heleen van Soest’s contribution to this report is in a personal rather than institutional capacity) 1 1. Introduction To achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions to deliver the Paris Agreement’s goals, all sectors must undergo deep emissions reductions. Approximately one-quarter of global CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion come from the transport sector (IEA, 2019). Transport will be challenging to fully decarbonise in the coming decades, owing to the difficulty in substituting low- for high-carbon fuels in freight, aviation and shipping, as well as infrastructural inertia (Grubler, A et al, 2018). A relatively underexplored opportunity to reduce emissions in the transport sector is through behavioural and societal changes, specifically by encouraging and incentivising lower-carbon travel choices and through disincentivising higher-carbon choices. A variety of studies have considered longer-term behaviour changes in sectors including transport, to achieve ambitious climate targets (Grubler, A et al, 2018), (van Vuuren, D.P et al, 2018), (T.A. Napp et al, 2019) but such behaviour change scenarios are not yet mainstream in the climate change mitigation literature. The emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic and the imposition of lockdowns across the world have given rise to significant changes in the transport sector, with a large share of personal and business travel replaced by online interactions and activities.

  • LONDON Dawsongroup All You Need to Know About Low Emission Zones Air Quality Is Becoming Increasingly More Popular in Political Discussion
    LOWEMISSION ZONES IN LONDON Dawsongroup All you need to know about Low Emission Zones Air quality is becoming increasingly more popular in political discussion. Various measures are being debated by the Government to try and tackle the issue and to discourage the more polluting vehicles from entering the areas in which the air quality is most poor. Low Emission Zones (LEZs) are part of the Governments air quality plan, as a method for local authorities to reduce harmful emissions in specific areas. London already has a Low Emission Zone, along with various other cities across Europe. However, a lot of people remain uncertain about what LEZs mean in practice. Dawsongroup have put together this guide to help clear up the confusion about LEZs and how they can impact you. There are also plans to introduce the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) on the 8th April 2019. The ULEZ will come into place within Central London to help improve quality of the air, with stricter emission standards. It is hard for drivers to keep focused and complete their jobs safely. This handbook will provide drivers with a brief overview of the main areas of concern when driving in cities. What is a Low Emission Zone? The Low Emission Zone is a charge scheme surrounding traffic pollution, aiming to reduce the exhaust gas emission coming from diesel-powered commercial vehicles in the zone, usually in cities. These work by using fixed and mobile CCTV number plate recognition which are in operation 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Only vehicles which don’t conform to the set emission standards are charged to enter the zone, others can enter the controlled zone free of charge – helping to encourage usage of cleaner vehicles and improve air quality.

  • Memorandum of Understanding Between Transport for London and the London Ambulance Service
    Memorandum of Understanding between Transport for London and The London Ambulance Service This memorandum of understanding is made between: Transport for London (“TfL”) of 55 Broadway London SW1H 0BD and The London Ambulance Service (“LAS”) of 220 Waterloo Road London SE1 8SD on: Purpose This memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) sets out the understanding between TfL and the LAS on how the LAS will work towards: (1) achieving compliance with the Ultra Low Emission Zone vehicle emissions standards requirements to be brought into force by the Mayor of London and TfL; and (2) creating a zero emission fleet, to minimise harmful effects on air quality from the LAS’s road vehicle operations. The Mayor of London supports the positions of the parties as set out in this MOU. Greater London’s Low Emission Zone (“LEZ”) and the Ultra Low Emission Zone (“ULEZ”) are both defined in the Greater London Low Emission Zone Charging Scheme (“the Charging Scheme”)1. TfL operates the LEZ; it is responsible for setting up and operating the ULEZ. TfL will operate the ULEZ from 8 April 2019, initially in the area of central London as defined in the Charging Scheme by reference to the London Congestion Charging Zone (“CCZ”). Under section 7 of the Transport for London Act 2008, TfL may suspend or partially suspend the operation of the Charging Scheme for such period or periods as it thinks fit where it appears to TfL to be desirable or expedient so to do. TfL will thus be able to waive ULEZ Daily Charges that a vehicle that does not comply with ULEZ emissions standards requirements would otherwise be obliged to pay.

  • London Low Emission Zone
    Transport for London Transport and Air Quality Strategy Revisions: London Low Emission Zone Revised following consultation July 2006 Transport and Air Quality Strategy Revisions: London Low Emission Zone – revised following consultation - July 2006 Preamble With this revision new sections 4G.126 to 4G.198 and new Proposals 4G.27, 4G.28, 4G.29 and 4G.30 have been included in the Transport Strategy. This revision also replaces existing sections 4C.1 to 4C.35 and Proposal 10 of the Air Quality Strategy with new sections 4C.1 to 4C.73, and adds new Proposals 10, 11, 12 and 13. The same text is proposed for both strategies to ensure they are consistent. No other sections of either strategy are being updated, and all remaining policies and proposals still apply. Modifications have been made to the text of the draft Revisions as a result of representations and objections received during the stakeholder and public consultation. A full list of revisions is shown in a Schedule of Modifications, appended to this document. These revisions also take into account the policies, proposals and objectives of the Mayor’s other statutory and non-statutory strategies, published since the original Transport and Air Quality Strategies were published in July 2001 and September 2002 respectively. Copies of all the Mayor’s strategies are available from the Greater London Authority (GLA) and on the GLA website at www.london.gov.uk. Copies of the strategies should also be available to view at all main public libraries in Greater London. What happens next? Publication of these Revisions to the Transport and Air Quality Strategies does not mean that TfL will automatically proceed with a Low Emission Zone (LEZ).
