Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of encouraging the use of electrically assisted pedal cycles in he final stages of deliveries on the Government’s ability to meet its climate targets.

Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles are an important part of the Government’s ambition for active travel, including in relation to the support of last mile deliveries.

The Department has previously provided grant funding for organisations and local authorities to purchase e-cargo cycles. A report on the impact of this funding will be published in due course.
