Transport emissions

• From: Vehicle Certification Agency, Department for Transport, Office for Low Emission Vehicles, Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, and Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation Expert Advisory Group

Transport accounts for around a quarter of UK greenhouse gas emissions and affects air quality at the roadside. We’re working to reduce emissions by promoting public transport choices, supporting the market for innovative forms of transport and encouraging a move to cleaner and lower carbon vehicles.
