The Zero
Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate is a UK government policy that requires car
manufacturers to sell an increasing percentage of zero-emission vehicles
(mainly electric cars and vans) each year.
The aim is
to gradually increase EV availability and support the UK’s transition to
cleaner transport.
Under the
mandate, manufacturers must ensure that a set proportion of their new vehicle
sales are zero-emission, with targets rising each year until all new cars and
vans are zero-emission.
The ZEV
mandate requires car manufacturers to increase the proportion of electric
vehicles they sell each year, reaching 80% of new car sales by 2030 and 100% by
2035.
