UK policy framework for low carbon vehicles July 2012

Challenge of de-carbonising transport networks worldwide Environmental and health concerns associated with tailpipe emissions from the existing vehicle fleet –(EU) PM10 estimated to cause 348,000 premature deaths annually (Watkiss, 2005) Transport accounted for 23% of all CO 2 emissions in 2009 –34% in the US –26% EU –6-8% China (but rising rapidly) Predicted demand for transport fuel will increase by 40% by 2035 Global drivers of Low Carbon policy - Environmental

Challenge of de-carbonising transport networks worldwide Environmental and health concerns associated with tailpipe emissions from the existing vehicle fleet –(EU) PM10 estimated to cause 348,000 premature deaths annually (2005) Transport accounted for 23% of all CO 2 emissions in 2009 –34% in the US –26% EU –6-8% China (but rising rapidly) Predicted demand for transport fuel will increase by 40% by 2035 Global drivers of Low Carbon policy - Environmental

Resource management and energy security –2001, the National Energy Policy Development Group, US; Bio-fuels in Germany since 1990s; China and Japan (MITI) promotes EVs; ProalCool Programme Brazil. –Importance of energy security and strategic resources. Sustainable economic development –“Applying this mode of thinking— seeing climate change through a sustainable development prism—is the only way in tackling the climate change and sharing efforts among countries.” (Streimikine) Global drivers of LCV policy – other priorities

Impact on the automotive industry –EU No 510/2011: EC No 443/2009 – flexibility offered to automakers; US set fleet targets for 2016 allow producers bank/borrow credits; China and Japan more stringent on fuel economy and now tightening regulation; –producers want clear roadmap + framework Pressure from below –EU member states also driving agenda due to gap in federal policy –Pressure from regions and cities key driver of change in major automotive producing nations –California championing ZEVs – (2004) CARB + 14 states; PM10 threshold high in German cities; Chinese cities banned motorbikes - electric bike stock 37m (2006) => 50m (2010); Taiwan failed with positive E2W campaign Global drivers of LCV policy – other priorities

UK Climate Change Act 2008  Reduce carbon emissions by 50% by 2027 and 80% by 2050 (against 1990 baseline) EU Regulation on new car CO2 provides trajectory for low carbon vehicles and adaption of LCV technologies  130g/km CO2 by 2015 and 95g/km CO2 by 2020 Emissions from road vehicles = 22% of UK domestic CO2 (over half of this is from cars) Decrease in average vehicle emissions over time offset by having more cars on the road King Review 2007 – significant de-carbonisation of road transport is possible 0 UK Policy Drivers for LCVs- Environmental

Automotive industry worth £10.5 billion to UK economy Potential to enhance the sustainability and competitiveness of automotive supply chain and support continued shift to high value skills and high value engineering in automotive industry –build on existing strengths in the automotive sector –UK’s comparative advantage includes technology specialisms in batteries, motors and power electronics, niche and volume vehicle manufacturing –UK-based infrastructure companies early movers in the market (Chargemaster, Elektromotive) –Opportunities in intelligent communication, links to the smart grid and billing systems. UK Policy Drivers for LCVs - Economic

UK Low Carbon Vehicle Sector - Forecast Source: UK Office for Low Emission Vehicles, Plug-in Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy, 2011, p15

In 2009 a new Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) brought together 3 Government Departments: Department for Transport (DfT) Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) Department for Energy and Climate Change Remit to provide cross-government joined-up policy direction to place UK at the forefront of ultra-low carbon vehicle development, demonstration, manufacture and use Policy enablers for low carbon vehicles

Influenced by work of the industry-led New Automotive Innovation and Growth Team (NAIGT) which recommended establishment of… Automotive Council to bringing stakeholders together to influence and shape policy Centre of Excellence (CENEX) as a delivery agency to better integrate expertise and catalyse innovation in low carbon technologies Significant programme of initiatives (supply and demand side) with funding of approximately £400 million since 2009 Policy enablers for low carbon vehicles

UK Low Carbon Vehicle Sector - Roadmap

UK government policy initiatives – Supply side Vehicle trials Ultra-low Carbon Vehicle Demonstrator Programme (from 2009) –£25m funding (matched by industry) from Technology Strategy Board –Eight regional consortia (manufacturers, energy suppliers, local authorities and universities) trialling some 320 vehicles over a 12 month period Low Carbon Vehicle Public Procurement Programme –£20m funding to help public sector organisations purchase low carbon vans / commercial vehicles for their fleets –210 electric / hybrid vans introduced through the scheme in 2010

UK government policy initiatives – Supply side Infrastructure Plugged-in Places (2010) –£30m funding supports regions in meeting up to 50% of installation costs of recharging infrastructure –London, Milton Keynes, North East, East of England, the Midlands, Greater Manchester, Scotland and Northern Ireland –Programme aims to support installation of 8,500 charge points in streets, car parks, commercial, retail and leisure facilities –Consortia of public authorities, energy companies and businesses –Act as trial locations with lessons learnt informing national policy –Aid inter-regional connectivity

UK government policy initiatives – Supply side Research & Development Low Carbon Vehicles Innovation Platform –Integrated Delivery Platform bringing together £200m funding from Technology Strategy Board, Department for Transport, Regional Development Agencies and Research Councils –Funds collaborative research and development projects and proof-of-concept studies, bringing forward low carbon vehicle technologies that are relatively near to market e.g saw £24m awarded to vehicle manufacturers, suppliers and universities in collaborative projects developing innovative technologies such as hybrids, lightweight materials and engine optimisation

UK government policy initiatives – demand side Consumer incentives to purchase Scrappage Incentive Scheme ( ) –£2,000 cash incentive to trade in old car for new vehicle Plugged-in Car Grant (from 2011) –£230m to subsidise purchase of new electric vehicles –Up to £5,000 off purchase price (25% maximum) –Ten vehicles currently eligible meeting the Government requirements on performance, safety and warranty All vehicles with emissions less than 100g CO2 exempt from UK annual circulation tax All electric vehicles receive 5 year exemption from company car tax Local initiatives: such as exemption from central London congestion charge

Cars eligible for UK plug-in grant Mitsubishi i-MEV Vauxhall Ampera Peugeot iOn Citroen C-Zero, Tata Indica Nissan LEAF Renault Fluence Chevrolet Volt, Smart fourtwo Toyota Prius

Regional and local initiatives A £38m Low Carbon Vehicles Technology (LCVT) programme –Collaboratively funded R&D across 16 key technology platforms providing solutions in areas such as motors, batteries and aerodynamics. A £14.5m vehicle demonstration trial - CABLED –110 electric, hybrid and hydrogen fuelled vehicles being tested by members of the public on the region’s highways A £4.5m Niche Vehicle Research and Development programme – the Niche Vehicle Network (NVN) –Niche vehicle manufacturers, system suppliers, automotive technology companies and academic institutions collaborating on the application of new technologies in low-volume vehicle production A £6.3m Midlands Plugged-in-Places scheme –Installation of over 500 public charging posts – brings together energy companies, manufacturers, manufacturers, public authorities and academia

UK policy: Good practice? Joined-up solutions and partnership working (financial and intellectual) –industry, government at all levels, R&D organisations and energy companies working together –Key role of the automotive industry in informing, leading and delivering solutions –Building on key strengths A range of supply and demand side stimuli –Infrastructure –R&D –Vehicle trials –Consumer incentives

… and elsewhere? US – after early pioneering work saw significant regression under Bush administration. Process driven by states. New Obama administration adopted ‘All Of The Above’ approach Germany has been slow to adopt hybrids and EVs (no subsidies), preferring clean fuel solutions. Meets EU minimum EU requirements but no concerted campaign Japan (MITI) intercompany knowledge networks, sponsored R&D, sponsored leasing and purchasing incentives, subsidised EV manufacture, encouraged public procurement of EVs French Ministry for Industry 10 point charter; Bonus/Malus feebate; Automobile Bonus; National plan for electrification of fleet China focussing on fuel economy, small car usage, graded excise duties and purchase cuts; subsidies for public fleet and agricultural vehicles

In 2010 registrations of Alternatively Fuelled Vehicles were just 1.1% of total, although… Substantial rise in volume of sales from 9,439 in 2009 to 22,865 in bulk of these (98%) petrol/electric hybrids Electric cars bought through the plug-in car grant modest to date and declining Q – 465 Q – 215 Q – 106 Significant increase in charging infrastructure Increased in intelligence on vehicle performance and consumer behaviour Impact of UK Low Carbon Vehicle Policy?

Price Plug-in car grant - too small and short term Lack of awareness of incentives to purchase Lack of disincentives to purchase – ‘Feebates’ Limited vehicle product range Appetite for electric vehicles linked to perception of performance/quality and current lack of awareness/evidence Perceived availability of supporting infrastructure Improvements in emissions in internal combustion engine vehicles stimulating demand for small cars Why has take-up of electric vehicles been slow?
