Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of UK-manufactured electric vehicles exported to foreign countries on UK environmental targets.

Industry data shows nearly 80% of vehicles made in the UK are exported. We do not expect this to impact the Government’s ability to meet the targets set out through the Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate. A thriving zero emission vehicle export market is crucial to supporting a domestic automotive industry that will drive growth, deliver jobs, and support the UK’s environmental goals.
