  3. Powering Future Vehicles • By 2012, 10% of all new car sales will be cars emitting 100g/km CO2 or less at the tailpipe • By 2012, 600 or more buses coming into operation per year will be low carbon, defined as 30% below current average carbon emissions • To develop further targets for; • Sales of ultra-low carbon cars by 2020 • Develop manufacturing and supply chains • Establish other targets

  4. Market Transformation DEMAND PULL RESEARCH DEMO MARKET ENTRY COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGY PUSH • Foresight Programme, Centre of Excellence • New vehicle Technology Fund, Ultra Low Carbon Car Project • Powershift, Future Commitment Project • Fiscal Measures

  5. Average car sales in the UK Source: Powering Future Vehicles : First Annual Report

  6. Progress with Low Carbon Buses • LowCVP agreed definition of Low Carbon Buses • Benchmark relationship between max passenger capacity and CO2 • Low Carbon Bus programme • Technology shake down • Expressions of interest from industry • Awaiting EU approval

  7. Polluter Pays • Array of fiscal measures • Fuel duty • Vehicle Excise Duty, Reduced Pollution Certificates • Benefit in kind • Grants • Difficult to provide economic return • Other sources of incentive

  8. London Congestion Charging Scheme Exemptions for Clean Low Carbon Vehicles • Exemptions based upon EST’s Powershift Register • Exemptions are for the best clean low carbon vehicles powered by; • Natural gas • LPG • Hybrid • Electric

  9. CC exemption increases low carbon vehicle sales Source: LowCVP

  10. Impact of Road Pricing • Relating cost to specific journeys may result in reduced travel • Impact of road pricing on total motoring costs may determine CO2 • Reduced cost to clean low carbon vehicles will act as incentive Source: IPPR

  11. Creating value in environmental performance

  12. Car labelling scheme • Voluntary scheme to be launched in summer 2005 • Collaboration between LowCVP, Government, SMMT and NGOs • Bands linked to UK VED CO2 categories • Running cost information (Annual fuel cost & VED)

  13. Social Networks and the power of Word of Mouth • Changing your habits because a family member, friend, neighbour or colleague does it • Formalised in idea of social networks and how ideas/movements spread across society • Creating a tipping point, how to model and determine the way to influence

  14. Other means of creating value • Public Sector Procurement • Quality Contracts • Making a forward commitment to create demand pull • Carbon Trading • CSR and supply chain pressure • BAA Heathrow’s Clean Vehicle Programme

  15. Summary • Government has invested a significant effort into the Powering Future Vehicles strategy • BSOG needs to be dealt with • Ensuring the principle of polluter pays is maintained • Creating value in the market for environmental improvements is the key challenge
