What is the Clean Cargo Capital scheme?
The UK has set ambitious targets regarding the worldwide fight against global warming. One component of these plans is to reduce the use and purchase of petrol and diesel air-polluting cars and vans and make the switch to zero-emission vehicles. Let’s look at this in more detail, including the Clean Cargo Capital scheme.
Petrol vehicles are responsible for producing the highest level of carbon dioxide emissions, with diesel vehicles a close second. This is in comparison to battery electric vehicles, which produce zero. Anyone who takes part in the switch to a zero-emission vehicle is helping to protect the environment.
Clean Cargo Capital
Clean Cargo Capital is a scheme launched by Clean Cities. Its primary focus is to establish central London as a world-class business district leader in zero-emissions mobility and transport.
This scheme has come about due to there being fewer van users ready and willing to make the switch to electric vehicles in comparison to the number of car users.
There are calls and campaigns for the UK government to offer incentives to those making the switch to zero-emission vans. This will help the UK’s ZEV (zero-emission vehicle) mandate, which requires that one in ten van sales are zero-emission by 2024, increasing to 70% in 2030.
Used vans
For those interested in making the switch to a greener vehicle, there are a variety of used electric van options on the market. This reduces the purchase cost and depreciation and presents business owners and individuals with a more affordable way of going greener.
For a range of electric van models in various sizes and body types, enter ‘used vans for sale near me’ into your favourite search engine; alternatively, visit a used van dealer such as cotswoldvancentre.co.uk/buy/used-vans-for-sale.
With every driver in the UK never being more than 25 miles away from an electric vehicle rapid charging point and the government committed to banning the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles by 2035, there has never been a better time for van drivers to explore electric vehicle options and make the switch.
