The National Franchised Dealers Association (NFDA) has called for a re-evaluation of the UK’s Zero Emission Vehicle mandate targets considering changes to the European Union’s approach.
The NFDA sent a letter to the Secretary of State for Transport, Heidi Alexander, and the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Local Transport, Simon Lightwood.
NFDA Chief Executive Sue Robinson said: “As the automotive market continues to evolve rapidly, it’s essential that the UK’s ZEV mandate framework is grounded in the latest developments.
“We will engage in constructive dialogue with the Department for Transport in 2026 to ensure the ZEV mandate delivers.
“NFDA remains committed to working collaboratively with the Government to support a balanced transition to zero emission mobility that benefits businesses and consumers across the UK.”
The letter highlights the importance of aligning UK regulatory policy with evolving international benchmarks to ensure continued competitiveness, market certainty and realistic transition pathways for both vehicle retailers and consumers.
