Member Event: Electric Vehicle Infrastructure in Norfolk with Norfolk County Council

In the UK, the Climate Change Act placed a duty onto the country to ensure that net carbon account for the year 2050 is at least 80% lower than the 1990 baseline. The Act aims to improve carbon management and help the UK’s transition towards a low carbon economy. Whilst the country’s total Greenhouse Gas emissions were 29% lower in 2013 compared to 1990 levels, the emissions from the transport sector remained nearly constant in 2013 compared to 1990 levels.

58% of the Greenhouse Gas emissions from the transport sector are attributed to cars and taxis, 12% to light vans and 21% to other road vehicles such as buses and Heavy Good Vehicles

It is evident that emission reductions from the transport sector are required to meet the overall reduction targets and since a large share of the emissions are coming from cars and light vans, climate change mitigation strategies are promoting the uptake of ultra-low carbon vehicles for road transport
