⏰ Cars are growing 1.2 cm longer every year, a new study from T&E UK and Clean Cities shows. UK cities are set to lose between 8.5% and 14% of their on-street parking by 2040 if this trend continues unchecked.

➡️ City action: reform parking charges and local taxes based on vehicle size and weight.

🗒️ So what we can do: ➡️ Introduce a Large Vehicle Levy, a tax paid on purchase of a vehicle that is determined by its weight, ensuring that larger, oversized cars pay their fair share.

Oliver Lord, Head of Clean Cities UK added: “How many more reports are needed, or kids killed until the car industry stops pedalling massive and unnecessary SUVs?

Anna Krajinska T&E UK Director said, ‘"For decades, car manufacturers have steered consumers towards larger, more expensive vehicles at the expense of smaller, more efficient models. The result is clear: after 25 years of unchecked growth, oversized SUVs now dominate our roads...

Britain’s automotive industry wants to weaken the ZEV mandate - but its case does not stand up to scrutiny.

If the Government is serious on delivering growth and jobs in the UK it needs to hold the line on the most important Industrial and energy security policy that the country has and which is delivering astounding progress.

Britain’s automotive industry wants to weaken the ZEV mandate - but its case does not stand up to scrutiny.

At a critical moment for the UK’s clean transport transition, weakening the targets now would do real damage:

Britain’s automotive industry wants to weaken the ZEV mandate - but its case does not stand up to scrutiny.

Carmakers that moved early, like Renault, are now gaining market share in the UK and globally thanks to great new EV models. Those that delayed are not victims of policy; they are betting on political backtracking.'' Tim Dexter, T&E UK Vehicles Policy Manager said.

Britain’s automotive industry wants to weaken the ZEV mandate - but its case does not stand up to scrutiny.

The SMMT’s latest report - Same Destination, Smarter Route - exaggerates the barriers to the EV transition, leaning on selective evidence and shaky claims that do not reflect what is actually happening in the market.

🚗⚡ £50 a month saved AND protection from oil price shocks. New analysis shows UK petrol drivers are around 4x more exposed to energy price volatility than EV drivers.

⚠️ The takeaway is clear: Maintaining a strong ZEV mandate is essential to shield UK households from oil price shocks and deliver long-term cost savings.

When petrol prices peaked earlier this year: ⛽ Petrol: £0.17 per mile | £109 to fill up 🔌 EV (home charging): £0.01 per mile | £59 to charge Diesel drivers face even higher exposure -paying up to 9x more per mile than EV drivers at peak, and around £71 more per month.

Now is not the time to weaken action on aviation emissions ✈️

➡️ Keep the SAF Mandate focused on high-integrity fuels like e-fuels. ➡️ Extend the UK ETS scope to cover all departing flights ➡️ Unlock public revenue to accelerate aviation’s green transition It’s time to invest in the future of a sustainable aviation sector.

Now is not the time to weaken action on aviation emissions ✈️

➡️ Limited real-world potential - UK crop supply could meet only around 1% of jet fuel demand by 2030. There is no meaningful scale here. ➡️ Food vs fuel pressures - Diverting crops to aviation risks driving deforestation and increasing global emissions through indirect land-use change.

Now is not the time to weaken action on aviation emissions ✈️

❌ The problem Instead of closing that gap, the Government is considering weakening the UK’s main policy designed to cut aviation emissions -the SAF Mandate. And, following industry lobbying, a recent Call for Evidence has opened the door once again to crop-based biofuels.

Now is not the time to weaken action on aviation emissions ✈️

🗒️ The situation UK aviation emissions are skyrocketing. In 2025, seven of the top ten most polluting flight routes in Europe originated from London, with London to New York flights generating more carbon emissions than all car tailpipes in a city the size of Birmingham.
