Original call for evidence

Summary

Call for evidence on possible exemptions to the 2035 phase-out date for the sale of new, non-zero emission heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) weighing 26 tonnes and under.

This call for evidence ran from
12 May 2022 to 11:45pm on 22 July 2022

Call for evidence description

We are seeking evidence on HGVs or HGV use cases that could justify being exempt from the 2035 phase out date for the sale of new, non-zero emission HGVs 26 tonnes and under. These vehicles may need until 2040 to transition to zero emission technologies. For example they may:

• carry heavy or abnormal loads
• have an additional power draw
• spend most of their time operating in specialist or remote areas
• be used in long-haul applications

This call for evidence is published alongside the outcome of the consultation on when to phase out the sale of new, non-zero emission HGVs.

See also the press notice announcing the phase-out dates for the sale of new, non-zero emission HGVs.
