Van fleets moving forward
27/05/2025
The Office for Zero Emission Vehicles has confirmed several changes relating to how heavier zero-emission vans are regulated. The updates bring into law a handful of measures confirmed previously and will come into effect from 10 June 2025.
British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (“BVRLA”) Chief Executive Toby Poston said, “Out-of-date regulations are hampering the transition to a cleaner, greener van fleet, so we welcome any modernisation to reflect the profiles of today’s vehicles. These changes are long overdue and leave a couple of other urgent updates waiting in the wings.
“The BVRLA, in coalition with its Zero Emission Van Plan partners, continues to call for this red tape to be eliminated. Regulatory barriers remain a key blocker for van fleet decarbonisation, alongside the lack of fiscal support and concerns over charging.
“Government knows the levers that need to be pulled and we are optimistic that today’s changes mark the start of more progress to come.”
