Car makers poised to hit EV targets
The Herald|December 23, 2024
THE UK car industry is on course to meet the electric Government's vehicle sales requirement this year despite some manufacturers complaining it is too tough, according to new analysis.

The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) think tank said this is because the zero-emission vehicle (Zev) mandate takes into account credits earned from selling lower-emission hybrid petrol and diesel vehicles, as well as sales of fully electric vehicles. It calculated the former is on track to achieve a market share of more than 3% this year, with the latter at around 19%.

This means the Zev mandate target of 22% for each manufacturer is set to be achieved as an average across the industry, the ECIU said.
