A progress report on Low and Ultra Low Carbon Vehicles has been published by Transport Scotland.
“The Scottish Government is committed to achieving decarbonisation of road transportation by 2050, along with a mature market for low carbon cars by 2020 – resulting in lower emissions by 2020.
“As noted in this report we are pushing ahead with schemes to enable us to achieve these world leading targets - we have supported the public sector procurement of over 100 LCV’s through the Low Carbon Vehicle Procurement Support Scheme, have started with the installation of an initial 375 electric vehicle charging points, capitalising on the UK-wide Plugged-in Places scheme, as well as provided over £4.4m of funding this year for the Green Bus Fund.
“As we move forward we are working with stakeholders, including the 2020 Climate Change Group, on the future Low Carbon Vehicle Action plan about the scope for further intiatives and priorities for action, including reviewing the autonomy for Scotland to tailor fuel and vehicle excise duties.
