We are holding a Van Plan event in parliament on 4th Feb. This is partly a celebration of the van plan’s successes, but is also an opportunity to push for any further change we think is needed. And you are welcome to join us.

📅Wednesday, 4th February
⏰18:00-20:00
📍Churchill Room, House of Commons, London

Since the launch of the Van Plan campaign two years ago, the Zero Emission Van Plan coalition has met with Ministers, held a Westminster Hall debate on the issue, and seen real change. From the Plug-in Van Grant being extended to a new depot charging grant.

However, much still needs to be done – we are not close to where the ZEV Mandate puts e-van sales and many blockers (including 4.25t regulations) remain.

At this event, Minister Keir Mather will address delegates, with extensive networking opportunities to further the discussion and connect with fellow industry stakeholders.
