Announced in the Budget, the Government will introduce a reduced pollution certificate (RPC) scheme for Trucks meeting Euro 6 standards. This will allow a discount on vehicle excise duty for these vehicles for a period of up to 5 years.
It was also announced that company van tax will be halved for ultra low carbon vans for 5 years. These vehicles are generally hybrid or electric vehicles which are beneficial in both air quality and climate change terms as they tend to have very low or even zero emissions of both CO2 and other pollutants.
