S6W-26549
Asked by: Simpson, Graham (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party - Central Scotland) Friday 19th April 2024 Question To ask the Scottish Government whether it will explore options to address the reported rise in van traffic, which "has risen faster than that of any other vehicle type in the past 20 years", in light of the Climate Change Committee’s recommendation in its 2023 Report to Parliament. Answered by Hyslop, Fiona - Minister for Transport The Scottish Government is grateful for the latest advice from the Climate Change Committee and remains fully committed to delivering net zero by 2045. As published alongside the statement to the Chamber on the Climate Change Bill, we will develop measures to accelerate the switch from ICE to zero emission vans and other vehicles in order to help reduce ICE van kms, with the intention of achieving early progress with the largest companies while ensuring appropriate support mechanisms for smaller businesses and independent traders. We will carefully consider the report’s recommendations in relation to van traffic and provide a response in due course. |
