Operators are being told they have ‘no time to lose’ to electrify their van fleets, after a ban on the sale of new diesel and petrol light commercial vehicles (LCVs) was brought forward to 2030.
Hybrid vans, which the Government has yet to define but says should be able to travel a “significant distance” with no carbon coming out of the tailpipe, will be banned from 2035.
Paul Kirby, head of LCV and EV strategy at Vanarama, said: “The reality is you need to get started now because, with the ban on diesel and petrol vans from 2030, that could be just two replacement cycles away.”
