The Business Secretary will face MPs amid mounting concerns over how the car industry will cope with current plans to boost the number of electric vehicles.
The move came after Vauxhall-owner Stellantis said it would close its van-making plant in Luton, putting 1,100 jobs at risk, amid what it called the “stringent” UK zero-emission vehicle mandate. The managing director of Ford UK said the car industry supports targets around electric vehicles but it needs Government-backed incentives to boost their uptake by customers.
The consultation is not expected to result in changes to the Zev mandate’s percentages, but could include amendments to the options for how manufacturers who miss their targets can avoid being fined.In his speech to the SMMT on Tuesday night, Mr Reynolds told the trade body the Government was “absolutely committed” to the 2030 target, but had “heard you loud and clear on the need for support to make this transition a success”.
Minister Stephen Morgan said the Government would work closely with industry in the UK to make sure its Zev mandate is rolled out effectively and that the required infrastructure, such as charging points, must be put in place to meet the targets.
